Over the next 13 videos we will taking you through the key areas of Ableton Live's Entry level software Intro.

We will then show you how to create a drum beat using the Impulse Drum machine,
create a baseline and some synth stabs using the built in Sampler and to finish up add some simple effects, do a quick arrangement and export your song to make it ready to burn onto CD.
