A few weeks back I went along to the free Digital Sandpit class run by Liveschool here in Sydney.

I was unsure how much I would get out of it, as I mostly use Live for guitar-based stuff, and have only skimmed the surface on a lot of the product. However, Adam Maggs, one of their instructors, did a great, informal 90 minutes or so on ‘Making Monster Synths", along the way delving a bit deeper into Simpler and also a few other tricks using Utility. It was also really useful just watching someone with a deep understanding of the product. You can pick up heaps of info just as they navigate around. I had to stop myself a number of times from exclaiming "Oh, I didn’t know you could do that!" (actually, I’m not sure I did stop myself every time)

I came away having learnt a bunch, and with a number of things I want to try and apply. These guys also do courses and private tuition, and if the free session is any indication, it would definitely be worth a look.

Very highly recommended.
