What the Pros are Saying

Will is an Ableton King! He has an extensive knowledge on everything Ableton. He has taught me more in a few weeks than I’ve learned in years working with Ableton.
David WhitworthDrummer for Bethel Music
David Whitworth
Will is a tremendous resource for anyone wanting to master Ableton quickly and effectively. He is the mind behind many methods and approaches used to run tracks on stage with Ableton, control live keys/patches, and syncing media in so many production environments including churches and arenas.
Ian McIntoshKEYBOARDIST FOR JESUS CULTURE
Ian McIntosh
Will's approach to tracks not only made it much easier, it took all possible glitches out of the equation. His knowledge of ableton goes far beyond anyone I have come across. And the cherry on top is, he’s an incredible guy who is willing to help you until your problem is solved.
Joe VolkDRUMMER FOR BETHEL MUSIC
Joe Volk
Will is my go to guy for all things Ableton. The thing I love about Will is how well he listens, and asks questions to evaluate what will work best for my particular session. He continues to help me fine tune Toby's show.
DAVE WYATTMUSIC DIRECTOR FOR TOBY MAC
DAVE WYATT
I wanted to find a clean, effective, flexible, powerful, and dependable way to run our tracks in Ableton Live. I found that solution in Will's training. Will is extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his teaching while also making it actually fun to learn.

What From Studio to Stage Students are Saying:

“From Studio to Stage not only provides step-by-step training for the fundamentals of implementing Ableton Live, but it also inspires you with new ideas that you never would have even thought of.”
Jake G.
Worship Leader
"I just wanted to say Thanks so much Will! Your Ableton courses have leveled me up so much quicker than I ever could have by myself. As the Music Director at a church of a few thousand people the expectations are high, and having you and your courses as a resource have been a huge blessing."
Ernesto
Music Director
"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. Thanks, Will, for helping us take our worship to the next level!"
Bill Whitt
Worship Leader
"From Studio to Stage is a all Expenses paid trip through the journey of using Ableton Live, from small and easy use to power house multi system gigs, Wills got you covered!"
Jacob Lampley
Worship Leader
"Worthwhile and worth the cost. I’ve learned so much."
Ben Essells
Worship Leader
"From Studio to Stage is a treasure trove of knowledge that will benefit everyone from the beginner to the most seasoned Ableton user.”
Joey Porter
Musician
"From Studio To Stage has really taken my Ableton knowledge up a notch. It has enabled me to use Ableton less as a crutch and more as another instrument on stage. It's allowed my team to be incredibly tight, but also improve their musicianship. It has allowed our production to go up a few notches, from standardizing lyrics and now to setting lights. All in all, this subscription has had a great impact on our team and church."
Raul Gonzalez
Worship Leader
"I decided to start using Ableton for more than just tracks and clicks and sought help. When I came upon From Studio to Stage I realized just how much I could actually do. Then I dove head first into things I’d never thought possible. Now my volunteer drummers, keys players, and bassists are stoked to have more in their hands with little to no extra effort and I’m doing stuff on keys that is blowing my own mind!"
David Noble
MD & Worship Leader
"Wills knowledge has allowed me to simplify procedures for my creative and tech art ministry volunteers. The subjects covered help our worship sets to be less distracting and serve the purpose of leading congregants to worship freely."
Jon McCord
Worship Leader
"From Studio to Stage has been instrumental in my ableton training. Not only has it made possible knowledgeably firing tracks, it has done so in a way that freedom in worship is achieved. The quality of our worship services is so much better because of it and I definitely feel way more equipped to troubleshoot any problems that arise. Amazing comprehensive place to learn ableton at your own pace."
Jamie Temperley
Musician
"I learned from Will well before From Studio to Stage began. It has rounded up all that learning into one place and goes into even greater detail. I owe the vast majority of my Ableton knowledge to his teaching."
Jeremy Ownby
Worship Leader
"I was stuck at my church with no volunteers or people who could help so I decided to start automating everything together so now every week I’m able to run everything together with no issues. It’s been a life changer and as I am starting to develop a volunteer base they are able to take over some of the automations."
Jesse Munoz
Worship Leader
