What are the requirements?

This course is beginner friendly. If you are starting out producing music, you will learn about all the important elements of an EDM track. However, you should know how to operate Ableton live. This course does not explain the fundamentals of the DAW itself. 

You will need Ableton live for this course. All versions, Suite, Standard and Intro are welcome. As the Intro version does not feature a synthsizer, we will use a free third party Plugin (Vital) in addition to Ableton Live. I will also provide a basic sample pack with drums and loops to get you started.
