Session Breakdown
Intro
We kick things off by setting the tempo and preparing the project for smooth production — simple steps that make a big difference in achieving a professional sound.
Pad
Craft lush, ambient pads using Wavetable to instantly create emotion and mood. This is where your track’s soul begins to take shape.
Drums
Design a clean, tight groove using kicks, snares, and hi-hats with Drum Rack. You’ll build bounce and texture that defines the rhythm section.
Bass
Build a solid low-end foundation with deep, warm bass using Wavetable. Learn how to layer and sync with drums for maximum impact.
Melody
Take a single vocal sample and transform it into a dreamy, expressive melody using Simpler. You’ll play it like an instrument — one note, endless possibilities.
Transition
Add cinematic transitions using Wavetable for lush synth swells and effects. Learn how to guide your listener seamlessly from section to section.
Arrangement
Bring it all together. We’ll structure the full track, shape its emotional arc, and prepare it for that final bounce.

Not at all. This session is designed for beginners and experienced producers alike. You’ll be guided step-by-step from a blank session to a full track.

All you need is a laptop and Ableton Live.
This session is built entirely using Ableton Live Suite, version 12. While most of the content is applicable to earlier versions as well, a few features and devices are only available in Suite, and some minor differences may appear if you’re using an older version. That said, you can still learn all the core techniques and creative approaches, and it might even be a great reason to upgrade when you’re ready. No third-party plugins are used — everything is done using stock tools in Ableton.

This session features spoken English narration — unlike my usual YouTube videos that only use on-screen text. You can adjust the playback speed from 0.5x to 2x, so even if you’re not fluent in English, slowing it down can make it easier to follow.
