Took a music composition class with Stephanie Hewett (Madre Guia) where we learned about Ableton and following basic structures to compose music. This was an application-based program sponsored by CircoZero.
I found Ableton pretty intuitive and was one of the few people at the end to produce a composition: “Poltergeist”, which samples Made In Heights’ “Murakami”. I think the initial confusing bits were just how to find samples and then understanding how these samples are stored within a project, how they can be accessed, and what changes persist.
