After a brief explanation of the auto mix feature, he then starts expanding on each area, looking at some fundamental aspects of the player and track timing, including master tempo. He then moves onto the mixer controls, comprehensive explaining the level controls and even dipping into Ableton Live to provide a quick lesson on EQ. Later lessons include a rundown of the common structure of electronic music, and the way songs consist of a number of bars and beats. Theoretical knowledge is combined with various features in the software, to show the different ways that the technology can make the mixing process easier, not simply having to rely on your ears and memory but also the various meters and controls within the app. There’s also a brief intro to the included deck FX and how to use a MIDI control surface to operate the software. The course ends with a detailed look at how to prepare for your first set, from different approaches to track browsing to compiling a suitable playlist.
