What you should know before watching this course
Male 1: I designed this course for everyone, from beginner to expert level. As far as prerequisites go, you should have a basic working knowledge of at least one music application. Any music software that can handle media editing will do. Some popular softwares are Cubase, Pro Tools, Logic, Reason, GarageBand, and FL Studio. For this course we are going to use Ableton Live. If you need a refresher, you can check out the appropriate Up and Running or Essential Training Courses on lynda.com for your DAW of choice. Finally, if you have prior experience with music theory, specifically with rhythmic theory, it may help you understand the topics covered in this course, but it's not absolutely necessary.
