Ableton Producer Program | Nashville

Created for aspiring producers looking to get serious with their music using Ableton Live Suite, this Electronic Music Producer Program provides 120 hours of top-quality mentoring and training in Ableton, plus studio time. Work towards your certificate, while producing your own release-worthy music by the end of this six-level music production course.

Develop your working knowledge of Ableton Live, with seamless integration into Push hardware, learning how to use your DAW efficiently and effectively. Through an extensive look at track analytics, understand how your favorite songs are made and reproduce professional techniques with dynamic hands-on exercises.

Dive into Ableton Live Suite, and cover all aspects of music production in this extraordinary DAW, as well as Ableton Live Suite’s powerful add-ons with the best of Max4Live devices, and learn the art of sound design in Serum, which is the only 3rd party software used on the course. Your mentor will show you how to put the content in the program to good use and guide you towards producing in your genre in our strategically placed mentoring sessions.

Suitable for top-line songwriters through to DJs; beginners, as well as people who have been using Ableton at home and want to learn how to produce quality music from the ground up, in a like-minded, intimate class setting in groups of no more than six students. Learning to produce should be fun and not frustrating!

Thanks to our exclusive licensing partnerships, we have assembled a range of specialized assets: synthesizers, effects, and samples for Garnish Academy students. These instruments and sounds allow us to teach producers, side by side, using the same sets of expanded resources. Our constantly evolving license-partners and content producers add thousands of dollars to the value of our Producer and Academy courses. Many of these products are yours to keep. Others are free to use while you learn and are then eligible for exclusive upgrades at a fraction of their regular price.

We have our very own boutique sample label Lazerdisk Sound. Garnish students get all of our packs (mostly written and produced by Garnish instructors) for free, and an exclusive pack just for Garnish students not sold on the site! It’s recorded individual keys from Mark Ronson’s Mellotron M4000D, which our label chief Zack Johnson meticulously recorded in Mark’s studio in Hollywood. Thank you Zack and Mark!
