Who is this course for?

This course is for producers looking to take their use of found sounds to the next level and go from just using samples to creating lush tracks entirely out of recorded sounds; or for students who are fans of Andrew Huang's work and just want a more detailed insight into his music-making process.

What are the requirements?

If you're new to using found sounds in Ableton, check out part one of this series, Capturing & Warping Samples in Ableton Live. If you want to follow along and make your own track, you'll also want a copy of Ableton Live and a microphone. If you don't have it already, can download a free trial of Ableton here.

How long does it take?

You can dive into how Andrew created his track in about an hour. If you're following along and creating your own track, plan on taking a few additional hours.

What will I get out of it?

We'll learn the ins and outs of Andrew's approach to capturing sounds from everyday objects and turning them into complete songs. This means learning how to craft drumbeats, harmonies, and melodies out of sounds we can get from hitting, plucking, rubbing, or blowing on everyday items. If you need a refresher on how to capture sounds with a mic and Ableton Live, check out our first course in this series on Capturing & Warping Samples in Ableton Live.
