This seven hour course sees veteran producer Simon Shackleton (whose aliases include Elite Force, Zodiac Cartel and Lunatic Calm) create a deep melodic tech house track using Ableton Live. There are 47 videos, with the early chapters covering building up and processing the drums and bass parts, and the middle chapters looking at adding chord stabs, a lead synth, pads and strings. Shackleton wraps things up by adding some vocal chops and extra effects. The Live Project files accompany the course, plus 135MB of Loopmasters samples. This is an incrdibly in-depth course and everything is explained in detail. If you're looking to take things further, there's more planned, including part 2 (expanding the arrangement) and part 3 (the final mixing).
