Live 9 Suite now includes Max For Live. This course, designed specifically for musicians, teaches you how to add a new level of creativity to your Rack using the programming power of Max For Live!

A big part of the Ableton Live experience is about approaching music in a non-linear way where you can create audio landscapes that are uniquely yours. But what if you could program your own MIDI and audio devices to plug directly into the rack? You can, using Max For Live.

However, just the mentioning of the word "programming" usually is enough to scare the X!%!# out of most musicians. But, have no fear, because this M4L intro course is designed with you, the musician, in mind.

Rishabh Rajan starts off this course by teaching you Max's unique visual programming language. If you can plug in a guitar or hook up a MIDI/audio interface, then you will learn to program Max
So join Rishabh Rajan and lose your programming virginity in this inspiring introduction to Ableton Live's Max For Live!
