Once a year I try to give something back and provide a completely free Ableton Beginner course for anyone who wants a bit of help getting into music production. Wealth inequality when getting into and being successful in music is huge! That said, if you’ve got a desire to create tunes, you’ll find a way to jump hurdles as you go. As long as you’ve got a computer (I can’t help with this bit unfortunately), Ableton is currently free from their site for 3 months. It’s also possible to get it for free after that, with a bit of searching on Reddit or asking around. Been there and used cracked software when I had to. No other equipment is required (says the guy surrounded by equipment 🙄). You can make great music with just the software! This is open to people in any country, from any background, in or out of work, whatever gender or GNC, all I ask is that you’re above 16 and can understand English. Please feel free to pass this on to anyone who may find it useful 🙏🏽
Happy New Year from us to you! 💥

“You need to think about making enough of an investment, to make sure the production is convincing. Production is obviously two aspects, one is the actual recording and the second part is the mixing”
