Great Reminders and covering things I may have missed. Excellent made for the beginner the the experienced.

By Sebastian Brodtkorb on 4/10/2024

I think the part about automation went to fast. He didn´t mention what the "session record button" is for, and he could also have briefly mentioned automation with external analog synts, not going deep in to it, of course.

By Roberto Dariva on 4/3/2024

Instrutor é fantástico. Conteúdo ótimo. Até aqui sinto falta de orientação sobre os instrumentos, timbres, qual escolher para o estilo de música, etc.

By Brian Watson on 4/3/2024

Really like Jason's teaching style. Learning Live 12 through this Udemy platform is very manageable and definitely enjoyable. Went through the Live 11 courses previously and now going through the Live 12 courses because I recently upgraded from Live 11 suite to Live 12 suite. Much of the material is similar but always gain some helpful knowledge, tips & tricks.
