Mitch Lee – Ableton Push – Workflow and Production (Download)
Electronic music production demands speed, creativity, and seamless workflow. The Ableton Push has revolutionized how producers create music, transforming software-based production into a tactile, hands-on experience. But without proper training, this powerful controller can feel overwhelming and underutilized.
Course Overview
This comprehensive course teaches you to unlock the full potential of Ableton Push through proven workflow techniques. Led by Mitch Lee, an Ableton Certified Trainer and award-winning producer, the program covers everything from drum programming to live performance setup. Updated for Live 10.1, the course includes over 6 hours of content with project files, drum racks, and sample packs.
What You’ll Learn
Drum Programming Mastery
Discover three distinct approaches to creating beats: finger drumming, step sequencing, and hybrid techniques. You’ll master subtractive drum programming, understand loop lengths, and dial in quantize settings for professional results.
Melodic Creation
The Push’s isometric keyboard makes melody writing intuitive. Learn chord shapes that work across any scale, explore the scale function for instant key changes, and use the melodic step sequencer to create bass lines and melodies you wouldn’t compose on a traditional keyboard.
Advanced Sampling Techniques
Leverage Live’s enhanced Simpler instrument to sample from vinyl, chop breaks, and create custom instruments from any audio source. You’ll learn warping, time-stretching, and fast sampling workflows that keep creativity flowing.

A detailed case study reveals how to integrate Push with other hardware, build reliable performance templates, and develop your own live show workflow.
