Remixer extraordinaire Timothy Allan is back and ready to show that you don't need any fancy third party plug-ins or instruments to make a great track in Live 9. In this series Timothy starts a club track using randomly selected samples, with Live 9 instruments and processing only! Timothy also includes his Live session file and samples so you can work and experiment along with him.
Timothy begins the series with a short introduction to what you can expect from this series. Next it's on to sample selection. Timothy does this randomly, by turning Live's preview function off, and is unable to hear the samples he is selecting until they are in his session, and loaded into channels! Timothy goes over the thought process for deciding what kind of track to make and then jumps right onto creating the initial lead sound.
From there Timothy adds drums and other percussion, including toms, hi-hats, pads and much more. Throughout the series Tim discusses and demonstrates the importance of EQing in the mix, sidechain techniques, volume saturation, frequency splitting and many other creative techniques.
If you use Ableton Live 9, this series from Timothy Allan will help you get your club track off to a great start. It's inspiration made easy... Get "Starting a Club Track with Live 9" today.

Response from Customer Service:
I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful. This is an entry level run through of the basics to start a club track in Live 9 so the tracks themselves will be basic by design. More advanced instruction will provide more advanced tracks.
I'm sorry you only felt it deserved a 2.5 star rating. If you are still confused on the process then checking out our Finishing a Club Track in Live 9 may help clear up the remainder of your questions.
Good luck with your projects!

Learned a ton!
These videos cover so much in putting together a song. Seeing the workflow of an artist, troubleshooting tips, and tricks was very helpful. You learn how to create those classic sounds that we all hear as well as techniques for arrangements and buildups, giving you the ability to take these new tools with you to new songs you create.

Excellent!
This has been an extremely helpful course! Let me just briefly touch on a few things that I found interesting. One thing is, early on, the instructor mentioned something about how, rather than try to lay down whatever ideas he had in his head at the time, he prefers to just get started with some sounds, rhythms, riffs, etc.. and see where it leads. I like that approach personally because I think you can come up with stuff beyond what you'd normally imagine that way. Another thing I liked is while the course is primarily focused on producing a track, it does help build on whatever working knowledge you have of Ableton's instruments and effects. The last thing I want to mention is.. Um, well, what I did was create two different Ableton sets to do the course with, and use different chord progressions and melodies from what the instructor was doing, but I did try to follow all the coursework - the concepts, the tweaks etc.. so in the end, I ended up with two original tracks which bear no resemblance to the instructors track. One turned out just ok, but I'm quite pleased with the other one. Looking forward to the "Finishing a Club Track" course next!

The course itself is awesome and the instructor explains what he does well. I just wish he had opened his sample files and let us use them.

Response from Customer Service:
1. When did you start dabbling in music?
As a very young kid my parents signed me up for piano lessons. My mom said if I quit that I would regret it later on in life, but I thought piano lessons were boring! Electronic music was a natural progression for me from those early days, it let me combine my love of technology and all things nerdy with a love of loud and strange noises.
2. What training have you had?
I've had years and years of training from a good friend of mine named "The Internet", and before him my other good pal "Trial and Error".
3. When did you get into recording?
The wonder of synthesis and certain electronic music is that you never really have to record anything if you don't want to! Although I do remember way back in the day recording found sounds on an old garage sale cassette recorder I bought, and using those samples in old school Trackers on the Apple II.
4. People you have worked with/for?
I've worked with, and for, a whole bunch of fantastic people so far. Some of the more popular ones include Empire of the Sun, Dirty South, Ash, Paul Oakenfold, Carl Kennedy, Hong Kong Blondes, Loverush UK, Molly Bancroft, Made by Monkeys, Tiff Lacey, Marcie, Offer Nissim and Kirsty Hawkshaw. Madonna chose a track I made for a compilation she released, although she never called or took me for lunch! That really doesn't count as 'working with' does it!?
5. Why are you so good at training people?
I'm good at training people because I remember what it was like to be the newbie, and I try and go over things that I would have found interesting and cool, back when I was starting out. I take the time to learn the techniques inside and out, and then break that down quickly for people.
