“Hi everyone. My name's Ben and I've just finished from Studio Stage Bootcamp. I just wanted to share a bit of feedback about the course. So for a bit of context on me, I run a function band in the UK called Shake It. We use Ableton Live to control all of our tracks and lights. When it came to learning Ableton Live, I did what most people do. I just watch YouTube videos and I thought that's all I needed to do. Until we kept having crashes, CPU overloads, disk errors, any error message you can think. I've had it happen to me at some point and in rehearsals, I can't emphasize how like, stressful that is. I mean, if it's happened to you, you'll know. But like, the main problem I've had with any of this is like, I just didn't know what to do, I didn't know how to change it and how to fix it. So I went back to YouTube and found from Studio Stage and a guy called Will who runs the whole thing, basically was doing a boot camp and I thought, ah, perfect. That'll hopefully answer all of my questions. And it has. I cannot emphasize if you're watching this, I cannot emphasize how valuable this course is. I went into this anxious about basically knowing what to do, like thinking I'm just gonna scrap it all together. I just can't make it work. I've left this course. I feel like I can answer any question not just related to Ableton and Playback, but to the hardware that's used to operate it. From creating an on stage performance network, which is basically, in short, you can control Ableton from multiple points across the stage. It explains how to set all of that up for controlling charts, lyrics, how to set those up on iPads to change automatically your songs. Oh my God, there's just so much stuff. Timecode Dante controlling lights, which is a massive one for me because we have all of our lights are basically mapped to each song. And he explains how to set up a redundant version of that, how to make it all work in the first place. Honestly, it's incredible. The heart and soul of this course though is Will. I honestly don't know how to say enough good things about him. From a teacher, from being a teacher, from like just a compassionate, lovely person. Like he's got more time, honestly, 100% sign up for this course. He's incredible. He's the reason that like this course will do so well for years to come and I'm really excited to have been part of it this time around. He creates an incredible community which will continue, you know, after you finish the boot camp. So all of the people who've done previous boot camps will be able to all interact together. So when you sign up to this course, I'll see you on the other side and hopefully we can all, yeah, chat and share some ideas. But, yeah, 100%, if you're on the fence about it, just sign up. It's 100% worth it. Best thing I ever did. Yeah, amazing. Sign up.”
