“I found From Studio to Stage on day four of ten days off in between tour legs. At the end of the first day I completely rebuilt our 90-minute set and included a ton of patch changes and effects automations for our keyboard rigs and playback. I was able to completely minimize my time at the computer and maximize my time at the front of stage and focus on delivering a great show."

“Will has helped me unlock the full potential of Ableton Live. His teaching is deep and yet still accessible. Learning a DAW like Ableton Live well is like adding colors and brushes to an artist's palette. I feel like I'm able to express myself musically even better. Simultaneously, I now know how to set up a live rig in the most stable and efficient way.”
