Turnkey Music Ableton Push 2 & NI STEMS Workshop

Turnkey Music Ableton Push 2 & NI STEMS Workshop

On Saturday 5 December 2015, Turnkey Music and Multimedia will be hosting a double header workshop as part of their Festive Season Year End Event before holiday season kicks in.

The two workshops focus on two leading brands in the world of electronic dance music, namely Ableton and Native Instruments.

IDM Mag’s very own Editor-in-Chief, Dave Mac will be hosting the Native Instruments workshop and the Ableton workshop will be hosted by Gauteng’s only internationally credited Ableton Certified Engineer, Emile Hoogenhout.

NI STEMS Workshop

Dave will be flying up from Cape Town to visit Turnkey Music on Saturday and he will be explaining all there is to know about the new STEMS format from Native Instruments.

The workshop will dispel any myths (and there are several) regarding STEMS and also explain in detail the benefits of theses for DJs, Producers and Labels.

He will then explain the different ways in which the new STEMS controllers are setup and are used for DJing as well as talk about Traktor Remix Sets.

Finally, before a Q ‘n A session, Dave will demo the new NI STEMS Controllers.

Here’s Dave hosting the same workshop in Cape Town this past Saturday at Red Revenge.

On Saturday at Turnkey Music he will be demonstrating the new Ableton Push 2 controller, explaining all the new and exciting features in Ableton Live 9.5 and also explaining and hopefully demonstrating the very exciting new Link app that Ableton have recently released.

Several weeks back IDM Mag assisted with the same workshop in Cape Town at Red Revenge hosted by Cape Town based Ableton Certified Engineer, Thomas Glendinning who proceeded to sample four records and turn these samples into a pretty awesome track.

The workshop was extremely well put together and we’re pretty sure the Joburg leg at Turnkey Music will be as informative and well done.
