This spring, we’re visiting campuses across the globe as part of the Ableton University Tour: a series of free events at which our Certified Trainers will demonstrate the music-making capabilities of Live, Push and Link.
Open to students, faculty members and staff as well as to the general public, the meetups are a great chance for new or existing users to watch in-depth demonstrations of Live and Push – and to try them out for themselves with experts on hand to assist.
The events are taking place between March and May with dates for a number of universities already confirmed.
