To produce good music, you need a good set of tools. Artists require a bevy of instruments and technology to create and mix songs, but at the center of it all is the digital audio workstation (DAW). Perhaps the most crucial part of a producer's setup, the DAW is an electronic device or application software designed to compose, record, edit, and mix audio. It also serves as a receptacle of all the audio elements you want to incorporate in a track, which you then arrange and harmonize to make music magic.

Now there's a plethora of DAWs available on the market, but one of the most revered software in the music industry is Ableton Live. Used by heavy-hitters like Daft Punk, Skrillex, Diplo, Deadmau5, and Kaskade, it's filled to the brim with effects, instruments, sounds, and a myriad of extra creative features to help artists make the best music.

Considering all of Ableton Live's bells and whistles, it can be intimidating for a beginner—or for anyone using it for the first time for that matter—to navigate and manage the program without proper guidance. And that's why there's the Ableton Live Mastery Bundle by Noiselab, which will supply you with the training you need to create music from scratch using the app. You can get it right now at the Popular Mechanics Shop for $30.

To be the best, you also need to learn from the best, which is why this extensive training bundle is exclusively taught by Noiselab, a community of Ableton producers and electronic musicians. Courses are led by Ableton live-certified trainers who all possess impressive industry credentials. These instructors have worked with some of the biggest artists in the industry, including Nine Inch Nails, Skylar Grey, The Mars Volta, and more.

The Ableton Live Mastery Bundle includes ten courses and over 22 hours of insight. On top of providing you with tips and tricks on how to use the software, you'll also get a primer on the anatomy of a hit song, so you can produce one on your own. You'll then come to grips with different production processes, including sound design, stereo imaging, and synthesis. There's also a course on putting together a live set, which would be helpful if you wish to perform live using the app in the future.

The Ableton Live Mastery Bundle by Noiselab is only $30 right now.
