Hi guys,

In your opinion, what are the most complete and comprehensive tutorials and training courses on the audio and MIDI effects included in the Ableton Live 12 suite ? Whether they are free or paid.

 

https://www.ableton.com/en/live-manual/12/live-audio-effect-reference/

 

I'd highly recommend the manual (that @PulseWave linked to) and the official video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Ableton

Also, if you want to learn how Ableton is structured in detail, Max for Live has that via the Live API, but just by doing the basic Building Max Devices course you will learn a lot even if you don't actually aim to build your own stuff.

 

In addition, Side Brain has a lot in his vault https://sidebrain.net/vault/. And is having a sale at the moment, really worth to get some extra There are previews and even short tips he posts on his yt and ig.

 

Building m4l device is really satisfying i just fixed the lfo and gave the stock lfo functionality i have always wanted in the form of ohmforce style sync length lfo times (actually longer 1024 bars 31 min or something)will probably share it on the m4l library
