About Course
Producing Bass House in Ableton Live gives you a clear, practical path to making club-ready music that moves a room. From the first super loop to the final limiter, you will learn the decisions, tools, and creative thinking that bring a modern Bass House track to life.
Led by longstoryshort, a respected voice in electronic music, this course focuses on process over guesswork. You will see how to organize your session, sketch musical ideas, shape hard-hitting drops with call and response, and finish with a mix that translates on any system. The lessons are watch and follow, so you can build alongside the instructor and immediately apply what you learn.
Across four structured modules, the curriculum walks you through loop creation, drop development, sound design, resampling, arrangement, and essential mix and mastering moves.
