99% of People Consume. Only 1% Create.
If you are reading this, you'd like to join the 1% by making music in Ableton.
Most people passively consume and lurk online.
But it's those who create online who unlock exciting opportunities. Making music in Ableton can be a catalyst for life-changing outcomes.
Instead of ...
- Deferring to others, you become an authority.
- Chasing opportunities, opportunities come to you.
- Consuming other people's "stuff", you create your own.
You don't have to be an expert, musician, or prodigy to have something valuable to say.
Everyone has unique knowledge and stories they can teach and share with others.
But becoming a Music Producer with Ableton 12 can be daunting.
Because it's one thing to grasp the technical side of making a song - composition, arrangement, sound design, mixing, mastering, etc.
But what about the intangible? How to you overcome the hesitation of just beginning?
Or feeling like you're story is not worth sharing? Or develop the discipline to work on your music weekly?
Hi 
I'm Alex.
I'm a music producer with over a decade and hundreds of songs finished, simplifying music making in Ableton 12 for creators and artists.
Over 14 years I'd accumulate lots of knowledge - but I'd always wanted to more with it. I then realized that teaching what I knew could positively impact someone's life.
Ableton seemed perfect. It's a software that allows you to transpose and translate your emotions and feelings, into fully finished stories. It could create songs, full albums, score film.
The only problem? I had no clue what I was doing.
Like you perhaps, I started using Ableton very sporadically, with no clear strategy or purpose.
Songs ideas would come to me, I would begin to compose, would end up spending 3 hours on sound design, forget the main idea and feeling and stop there. The cycle would repeat again and again.
Not only was the technical side of making music so overwhelming and confusing, but the mental aspect of it was another hurdle to deal with. The countless hours spent not being able to finish anything, or not enjoying anything once I've finished.
The idea of sharing of releasing my music or even sharing it with anyone else, expecting people to care about my compositions - seemed far fetched.
... and my history reflected this:
Things Started To Turn.
Despite feeling overwhelmed, I kept going as I reminded myself why I started to make music in Ableton in the first place. I went back to my "Why" - to help and inspire others through their journey as a creator and Artist.
I am so happy I never gave up because these past years, things started to turn:
I went from barely making a few songs a year, to being able to make over 200 in less than one year, with each and every song, my knowledge grew more and more each day.
Although I never began to speed run the process of making music, just working relentlessly at it game me a more refined process that help me transition from "what am I doing" to "this is what I mean".
These are some of the benefits came along with the experience:
✅ I developed a process that could always take me from start to finish.
✅ Had a clear direction before even beginning to wonder what is what.
✅ No longer feeling lost before starting a song in Ableton.
✅ The mixing Process became clear, easy and fun.
✅ I began to look forward towards The Mastering Process because it always felt like the cherry on top.
Now I Want To Help You
One thing I wash I had back when I started was someone who would tell me precisely thigs like:
→ Here's how you identify your main idea.
→ Here's how you set up your DAW.
→ Here's how you set up your midi controllers.
→ Here's how you structure your song.
→ Here's how you finish your song and not spend 5 hours on sound design for your synth.
That's when I thought, what if there were a course that takes a beginner by the hand, walking them through the steps of starting, the process and actually finishing a full song from scratch?
And that's when I created this course:

Your unique knowledge lights you up — but you want to do more with it. You’re here to make a positive, tangible impact on someone’s life through music.
✅ You’re determined to get out of your own way.
You’re familiar with pesky thoughts like, “No one will listen to what I have to say” or “I’m not good enough." You might have imposter syndrome or self-doubt, but you’re not going to let it stop you.
✅ You see Ableton 12 and making music as a long-term investment.

Ableton 12 MasterCourse is NOT For You if ...
❌ You’re looking to become a musician pro.
Ableton 12 MasterCourse covers gear, recording, samples and production, but it is not a music course. You’ll be making uncomplicated songs with the aim of learning the basics (not creating aesthetic masterpieces).
❌ You just see Ableton 12 as a way to get influence and make (lots) of money
Sure, Ableton and music production can get you both these things — but that isn’t the point.
❌You’re wishy-washy about showing up.
Ableton 12 is fun, but you have to be disciplined about making songs if you wish for your skill to grow.
