Steven (DJ Disko Duro) came to my house for an Ableton Live training session, which he has been intensively advertising on Craigslist. The first few times that we scheduled a lesson, he had to postponed at the last minute because of scheduling issue. When we finally made it, he arrived three hours late, because his previous lesson apparently took longer than expected. The lesson lasted a couple of hours, and despite my best efforts to describe precisely what it is that I knew, and that I was looking for, both in writings and during the first minutes of the class, Steven was could not provide an organized session and kept jumping from one topic to the next. He clearly did not know Ableton 10 for what I needed to do, and kept searching and clicking around to figure it out, telling me that the newest version had changed around. After two hours were gone, we really achieved nothing constructive, and I felt as I had made absolutely no progress and still knew the same thing I had learned from watching a few youtube videos prior to him coming. Steven still wanted to be paid his high rate pro-rated at the minute (so I was essentially charged for the rambling about his life and experience and his research on how to achieve certain things in Ableton). But what really bothered me is that during the class Steven noticed my trial version of the Ableton Live! software had expired and he OFFERED to install an "educational version". As it turns out it was a PIRATED SOFTWARE with a copy-protection removal utility. And at the end of the class, he added an EXTRA $100 TO CHARGE FOR THE PIRATED COPY of Ableton he installed on my computer !!!! I refused to pay and I reformatted-reinstalled the operating system on my computer because after he left, because he had me disable my antivirus to run the license-key generator software and I was too scared to run a virus. I got so upset at this, I had to write a review. This is the first time I ever posted on Yelp, but I am so outraged that someone who poses as an experienced teacher on a topic that he turns out doesn't master, who came 3 hours late, and delivered rather than asking to be paid a high rate for every single minute of his time and has the audacity to charge $100 for a pirated software he offered to installm that I had to post it. The only thing Steven apologized for after the lesson is the body odor (seriously) because he said he didn't get a chance to change. I will not use DJ Disko Duro Steven services ever again. read more
