What’s the teacher’s background?

I’m Francois and I’ve been teaching Ableton Live in individual training sessions, seminars and through a YouTube channel. Those individual classes are fun and very effective, and I’m getting many requests for personal training, but unfortunately my time is quite limited and apart of that, those sessions are quite expensive. So with this class, I’m trying to make all this knowledge available to more than a handful of students at a time and without the barrier of high costs. You will be able to learn tons of tricks and workflows in Ableton Live – as if we would be sitting next to each other in the studio – and all that at a fraction of the cost.
