✨New for 2026!
Created by popular demand: 10 professional Ableton Live templates across 124–140 BPM.
Following the response to Dave Parkinson’s Logic Pro X Template Pack — and repeated requests from producers who work in Ableton — we’ve created a complete Ableton Live edition.
Open the sessions. Follow the decisions. Discover how professional dance records are built.
Dave Parkinson Ableton Live Template Pack Vol. 1 gives you access to 10 fully structured Ableton Live projects, covering BPMs from 124 to 140 and a broad spectrum of electronic music — from deep progressive and melodic trance to uplifting, tech-driven and acid-infused club sounds.
⚡ This isn’t simply a collection of starting points
Each Template gives you a detailed look inside the creative and technical decisions behind a complete production: how ideas develop, how layers interact, how energy is controlled and how individual elements combine to create something that feels like a finished record.
Dave Parkinson has spent decades working at the highest level of dance music as a producer, engineer and trusted studio collaborator. He has helped shape releases for some of the scene’s biggest artists, creating records that have connected across dance-floors, radio and beyond.
Now, for the first time in Ableton Live, you can explore that knowledge from inside the projects themselves.
Every Template has been carefully organised with clearly named tracks, logical groups and a clean professional workflow. Open a project and trace the arrangement from beginning to end, examine the processing, follow the automation and understand how each sound contributes to the wider production.
Rather than learning techniques in isolation, you can see how all the decisions work together across a complete track.
Inside the projects, you can explore:
🎼 Composition, arrangement and musical development
⚡ Builds, transitions, tension and release
🧱 Instrument, percussion and sound layering
🎚️ EQ, levels and overall mix relationships
🔄 Automation, movement and evolving detail
🗂️ Clean, efficient Ableton Live workflow and organisation
Whether you’re finding your feet in Ableton or already producing at an advanced level, these templates provide a practical way to sharpen your instincts, improve your workflow and bring greater polish and purpose to your own music.
Audio files, samples and VST presets are included, allowing you to open the projects and start exploring immediately. Strip the arrangements back, isolate individual layers, rebuild sections, test your own sounds or use the Templates as a creative sandbox for developing new ideas.
Tutorials often demonstrate one technique at a time. These projects let you see the bigger picture: how structure, sound selection, mixing, automation and energy all work together across an entire record.
When so many producers are competing to be heard, small details make an enormous difference. A stronger transition, a more purposeful arrangement or better control of the mix can transform a promising idea into something that genuinely connects.
