Almada - Lisbon

O Ableton Users Group ~ Lisboa é uma iniciativa que convida todos os utilizadores do Ableton Live, principiantes ou profissionais, residentes ou visitantes, à reunião para a partilha de ideias, técnicas de produção ou ferramentas úteis à utilização do Live, tudo no sentido de melhorar o workflow e aperfeiçoar o domínio sobre o programa.
Já que a utilização deste consiste numa experiência mais individualista, convidamos à aproximação de todos para que as nossas ideias nos influenciem uns aos outros e, com isso, a nossa experiência com o Live se torne mais rica e completa!
Todos são bem-vindos, pois acreditamos que a chave se encontra na partilha de pequenas ou grandes ideias que, no final, fazem toda a diferença.

Convidamo-vos, então, a juntarem-se a nós nas reuniões, que surgirão no Desterro, de forma regular, em datas a anunciar. Tragam as vossas técnicas de produção próprias, os pequenos segredos do Live que quiserem partilhar nestas reuniões, o vosso gear, enfim, tudo aquilo que acharem que melhora a vossa experiência com o Live.
Partilhar é aprender.

The Toronto User Group strives to probe your musical creativity through workshops and events held monthly.

Our goal is to bring together a diverse group from programmers to performers under one roof to share and collaborate using Ableton Live. In addition to regular events such as guest speakers and tutorials, we invite members to show off their latest mix, technique, Max patch or whatever else to the community. Any skill level is welcome and it is always an open Q&A. Hope to see you there!

Trier

Die Ableton User Group Trier steht allen Anfängern, Interessierten und erfahrenen Live Usern offen. Wir treffen uns ein Mal im Monat um...

- uns auszutauschen über Live, Gear, Sounds, Presets, Styles, Skills und das Wetter
- zu lernen, wie man denn jetzt die Ideen aus dem Kopf in Live umsetzt
- Musik hören und zeigen
- andere kennenzulernen mit denen sich Ideen umsetzen lassen

Die Treffen bestehen meistens aus einem Theorie- und einem Praxisteil. Die Theorie richtet sich nach den Leuten, die da sind oder behandelt ein bestimmtes Thema. Der praktische Teil ist mehr was für die regelmäßigen Teilnehmer, die weiterkommen wollen.
Im Anschluss ist dann noch Zeit um auf das ein oder andere zurückzukommen und in Ruhe die Getränke zu leeren, die es an der Bar gibt.
Außerdem freuen wir uns immer wieder über Gastreferenten die uns Klangsynthese, Hardware-Setups und andere musikalische Lebensfragen näher bringen.

Die User Group wird vom Kultuerverein villaWuller e.V. unterstützt. Wie für alle Aktivitäten des Vereins gilt auch bei uns, dass kein Platz für Rassismus, Diskriminierung, Abwertung anderer und sonstige Abarten allgemeiner Spaßfreiheit ist. Es geht um die Musik, dafür ist jede Menge Platz.

Trieste

I ragazzi dell’Ableton User Group Trieste propongono l’utilizzo del software Ableton Live non solo come strumento per suonare ma anche come mezzo per apprendere e migliorare le proprie conoscenze della teoria musicale, dal ritmo all’armonia, gli elementi di acustica e ingegneria del suono, arrivando sino alla creazione di uno strumento musicale personale oppure alla costruzione di dispositivi esterni con il metodo del DIY.

L’obbiettivo è di aggregare musicisti, artisti, addetti ai lavori, virtualmente ed in presenza, della zona di Trieste e della regione Friuli Venezia Giulia, cercando di stimolarne la creatività e la curiosità verso l’uso del software, divulgando con costanza nuovi contenuti, le innovazioni tecnologiche, creando uno scambio positivo di idee e non solo.

Victoria

The Victoria Ableton User Group connects the community of Live users in Victoria and on Vancouver Island. All skill levels are welcome. We cover a wide range of topics, mostly focused on electronic music production and performance. Some of things we chat about are sound design, synthesis, workflow tips, new features, DJing, mixing, mastering and remixing. Beyond that, we also discuss broader topics, such as building a project studio, reviews of gear & plugins, music theory, the creative process, the music business and how to make a career of being an artist. For this reason, we also welcome users of other software and any interested, aspiring musicians.

We’re hosted by Warp Academy, an Ableton Certified Training Center, located at the McTavish Academy of Arts, 1720 McTavish Road, North Saanich, BC. This gives us access to a classroom, projector, studio facilities and reference monitors. Our studio is set up for live streaming, and we’ll be broadcasting and recording some of our larger sessions so members can attend remotely or watch archives.

As a member, you can learn in a variety of ways. Our in-person events are lead by the Ableton Certified Trainers at Warp Academy. Where possible, we also invite touring artists and experienced Live users from the community as guest presenters.

In addition to the live events, we also publish free tutorial videos every week. This is a great way to get up to speed fast, or to stay inspired in between sessions.

Yunnan

This is the official Ableton User Group of Yunnan.

Through Ableton Live, we aim to explore the infinite possibilities of sound creation and why music and the senses can make people "resonate with each other's souls" in a certain time, space, past, future and present moment.

Our vision is to set up a community of mutual discussion, understanding, learning, sharing and creation for music-makers who are addicted to and passionate about Ableton and willing to explore and understand Ableton Live together, and to work with all like-minded people in the region with the shared goal of creation and cooperation. Friends, artists and listeners all work together to present what everyone loves in the best possible way.

We welcome all users, scholars and listeners from Yunnan to join us. May we form the Ableton Live community "in the south of the clouds", as we say in Yunnan. Maybe, like me, you still have musical dreams and ideals in your heart, so let's travel together in the infinite universe of sound. We are willing to provide help and advice to everyone, and work together to find unknown sonic territories, so that ordinary people can explore infinitely in the universe of Ableton Live.
