Sparking Initial Inspiration
Where does inspiration come from? Is it created or harnessed? Can we control it? And do we have an endless supply of it?
Building Basic Ideas
We’re not here to write the next festival banger, we’re here to get you comfortable making and finishing music with ease.
Clear Explanation of Concepts
This course is designed with you in mind. Use this course as a template for your next track and many more to come.
Navigaion + Workflow
The faster you can find something, the easier it is to stay in the flow. Empowering you to acess what you need when you need.
Drum Sequencing + Editing
The most fundamental aspect in music is the basic groove and beat. But how do we build a groove? What do we put, when and where?
Percussion + Grooves
A bouncing rhythm isn’t an accident, it’s a carefully planned out structure. Take your drums from sounding good to great!
Record Your Ideas
Once those juices start flowing you’ll want to get your ideas down as quickly as possible. Recording them is the first step.
Chord Progression Structure
Anyone can write chords. But, there is so much we can do to improve upon those basic chord progressions and ideas.
Audio Effects + Processing
One of the most fun aspects of making music is enhancing it with Audio Effects. There is a whole new world to discover!
Simple Sound Design
Sound design is an opened ended journey. Having a few simple design tricks up your sleeve will fill you with confidence.
Perform + Record
We have total control over when the changes happen in our music. Use this technique to feel out those changes. It’s the best way!
Build a Powerful Arrangment
One of the pitfalls of most music makers is building an arrangement that actually works. How do we keep it interesting for the listener?
Mixing Your Music
Mixing can be broken down into some very simple steps. Most of the tools are staring you in the face and you don’t even realise it.
Exporting a Pre-master
To get our music from studio to stage we’ll need some final sparkle on top. But first we need to do a little house keeping.
The Dark Art of Mastering
In this module we sit down with an actual Mastering Engineer to see how they might work on your music.

Loving this course ! Well structured into clearly signposted units, with very helpful material and advice presented in a way that is easy and interesting to follow. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get started with Ableton, or brush up on their existing skills :0)

It helped me tremendously in every way. In terms of the arrangement, that was my biggest concern and also in terms of the work process. Very, very thank you!
Syafiq Halid
Just wanted to shout out how awesome your YouTube vids are! Seriously, your honesty and advice hit home every time. You can feel the hard work and real struggles behind it all and that’s what makes it so damn good and authentic. Your tutorials, especially on Live Performance and Push 2, are solid! Super inspiring stuff. And gotta give props for the crisp HD quality and clear voice, makes learning from you a breeze. I’d tell anyone looking for solid tips to hit up your channel! 🙂

I known Ed for quite a while now and have learned to really value him as a fellow creator, who has a great perspective on the whole music and content creation game as a whole. Not only is he a fantastic musician that totally knows his craft, he also is a great teacher and creative soul that has an inspiring view on the life as a creator in general. And most importantly: he is a super fun dude with lots of positive energy!
Sam J
Amazing resource! Thank you Mr. Ed! This course was super easy to follow and covers basically everything you could ever want to know about getting started with Ableton Live.
Mustafa Sarbak
Most of the tutorials online are basically “how to” videos and they don’t help in an artistic way of creating. I felt like I didn’t get the most of my new hardware and it was annoying. Then I bumped into mredrollo. The way he communicates and the fact that you follow along while he is teaching felt unique to me. I have finished this course a few times and I still come back to take a look at the certain points. I can definitely say that after watching, Ableton Push has become an instrument rather than just hardware to me. I don’t struggle anymore and really enjoy my sessions, but it also helps me to have a broader perspective while I’m making music.

Since completing this course with mredrollo I’ve become much more confident using Ableton Live. I’d always come up with ideas for songs but get frustrated with arranging and move on to the next idea. But following mredrollo though his workflow as he walks you through the process of completing a track from start to finish I was able to put some of those ideas together and actually finish something… and it feels great!
Reece Bryan
My main difficulties with music production were: not knowing all the element of a complete track, struggling with arranging elements into a song and mixing elements together to sound good. After doing my fair share of YouTube searching, I was lucky to stumble across a tutorial from mredrollo. I found his way of teaching concise and professional. From there I felt confident that my money would not go to waste and signed up for his course. Ed is straight forward, and every minute is filled with useful information, no fluff. Ed covered everything needed to complete a track from start to finish. This is just what I needed to start making music that sounds full and finished. Since taking two of Ed’s courses, I’ve been able to bring my creative ideas together in a much more satisfying way. I am loving my music production journey and am grateful for Ed’s contribution to it.
Alan Dale
I tried various creators on YouTube for tutorials or inspiration but always got bored either with the techniques, teaching or just the creator themselves. When I first watched a video of mredrollo I instantly connected and wanted to know more. What really sold me was his journey and what he’d been through which was such an inspiration. I really liked his approach, it’s kinda like a no BS approach, clear instructions and explaining the full process of making music.
David
This is what I’ve really enjoyed about Ed’s courses – they’ve allowed me the freedom to develop my own voice.
Rob D
When I enrolled for Ed’s courses I was looking to make better use of my Push. I was attracted to Ed’s course because it seemed like it was showing you the Push while in the process of actually making a track. I wasn’t interested in a video manual going over the functions. And while I did learn more about the Push something unexpected also happened. I actually ended up getting more from the course on workflow and just general approaches to working through a track to completion. As it turns out the Push stuff was just a bonus. Ed’s workflow was quick and simple. I liked how he didn’t spend time mired in details and got on with his track. I now use the same approach in my tracks. Instead of obsessing over minor details during the creative process I now feel I am better able to flow and worry about the details later on in the process. Because of this, making music is simply more fun for me now.

At first I didn’t know where to start and I really got lost in all the YouTube producers’ tutorials. It was an overdose of information and went wayyy too fast to follow for a beginner. mredrollo’s voice is very clear and the way he explains things has helped me understand. It’s never dull, unclear or too fast. Implementing what I had learned got me to a point where I was able to put a nice simple song together, and I thought WOW!! Now I’m getting somewhere, after almost 2 years! I now have plenty more fun when I start up my machine and know that I might get somewhere.
