Ableton Live and Pro Tools Tuition from a Pro Engineer. Lessons Based in London.

[alriley]

Quickly become a power user in Ableton Live or Pro Tools with private tuition from a professional credited sound engineer / producer.

I'm offering Music Technology Lessons which I'm happy to adapt to you depending on your needs.

About me:

I'm a professional studio engineer and producer with a number of credits to my name (e.g. Tricky, Coldcut, Cinematic Orchestra, Florence and The Machine). I've also given private tuition in Ableton Live and Pro Tools to students and established artists. In short, you get the best of both worlds: someone with proven success in the industry and an experienced tutor.

There's a link to my professional biography on my profile page.

My rates are £35 for an hour session at my home studio. Negotiable for longer sessions or larger groups. Happy to come to you if you cover travel expenses. I am based in South London.
