Intro to Ableton Live: How to edit your podcast

This workshop is a basic introduction to using Ableton Live for podcasting. Students do not need a proper microphone in order to participate– just a smartphone is fine! Students will be introduced to importing audio files, cutting and splicing, collage, looping, time and pitch manipulation, audio effects, and more. We will discuss applying these skills specifically for podcast editing. Note: If you do not own Ableton Live, you can download the free trial-version for 90 days: https://www.ableton.com/en/trial/. This will allow you to save and export your work for 90 days.
