Loopop I just wanted to express how much many of us value you as a reviewer and teacher/mentor. The amount of information I have learned from you in the past 6 months at times blows me away. This tutorial on Ableton has been far more beneficial to me than many of the other videos out there. You have a gift for conveying obscure and technical info that many others struggle to articulate in their teachings. More important you are a disciplined man. You actually read through the manual in order to help us strangers out. I just want you to know that all the hard work you put into these videos has significantly benefited many people, prob more than you realise. Almost every Bedroom producer has seen your videos and benefited from then. You are a treasure to this community.

This should be the first video to show up on youtube's algos if you search for "learn ableton" or "ableton beginner". There is literally no better video out there

I am from Russia and English is not my main language. But it was the most understandable Ableton lesson for me that I saw.

As an old teacher told me once. There is no bad student, there is bad teacher. You are a very good teacher, anything is simple with you

It’s so unreal how well informed and pleasant this guy is

Seriously one of the best Ableton tutorials out there that covers a lot of the manual in a fast and easy method to absorb. Well done!

Dang, this video is 4 years old and is still amazing. I just got Ableton today and feel like I can make music already. You're the best.

This guide is blowing my mind. Had to pause 10 minutes in because I have already learnt so much more than watching hours worth of other guides. No one else I've seen has shown me the true power of Ableton: how the session view and arrangement views can/ should be used. I am so profoundly grateful to people like yourself who have helped me go from not having a clue about anything, to feeling like it's all beginning to come together for me.

I've been using Ableton (rather, trying to use Ableton) for the better part of half a decade, and I learned more in this tutorial than the countless others I've watched or even all the time I've spent trying to figure out how to do stuff. I can't think of a single other tutorial video that made me want to leave a comment like this, Ableton tutorial or otherwise. Thank you!

So much value in this video. I watched two paid Ableton courses which missed crucial things you pointed out, like how the switch back and forth between arrangement and session view works. And I had always been frustrated because of the necessity to duplicate clips for new scenes.. Thank you so much for sharing the result of your solid experience with Ableton in such a clear and efficient way. Decided to subscribe to your Patreon as a token of my appreciation.

The best Ableton Live intro tutorial i've seen so far. I couldn't make head or tail of my FREE lite version. I can now see how the Ableton workflow makes sense for anyone wanting a DAW that works like a sonic sketchpad while having the linear timeline available too.

I'm only 8 minutes in and I already feel like i have a better grasp on how to actually make music in ableton. I've been watching and reading tutorials for weeks. You absolute G

Best 36 minutes spent on any KZread video, thank you for taking the time to do this for the rest of us.

Best! You sound like someone who can hold an audience alive in a video that shows how to record a track from scratch until it's master. You have a gift man! You don't let people fall asleep or move to another video!

This video has what all the other intro vids are missing. "Ok, now that I'm actually trying to write music, how the HECK do I do This?? (or That, or The Other Thing...). This will help anyone save hours, if not days, of digging through manuals and trial & error. Brilliantly done.

This is the best tutorial I've found, and I've been searching on youtube for weeks. It's super clear, there are a lot of useful tips and a lot of information other tutorials miss and it's really important. Thank you so much for making this.

You are a lifesaver! So many tutorial videos from people that don’t understand the underlying logic of how these things work, and you are knowledgeable with understanding, succinct, clear, organized, and easy to watch and listen to. Thanks for hugely important education!

I have been using Ableton for just a couple weeks and have found several things where I think to myself I KNOW there must be a more efficient way to do this. You've shown me so many awesome useful tips, thanks a TON!

Thank you! This is THE premiere quick and dirty Ableton tutroial on YT. All of your insight is immensely appreciated.

thank you for this... still super relevant even 2 years later.

Only 6 or 7 minutes into the video. This is absolutely first class. Many Thanks.

Amazing breakdown, stress levels decreasing, ahhh relief. I was able to see what I knew from other DAWS. Love love how you deconstructed the views for comprehension. You are a master teacher loopop!

As someone coming to Ableton for the first time after years with Cakewalk and FL Studio, this video was an absolute lifesaver. You managed to take one of the least-intuitive pieces of software I've ever seen and make it easily understandable. Thank you so much for putting this together!

Never before have I seen how powerful Ableton Live can really be as a beginner. What a phenomenal, well put, and to-the-point tutorial!

I can't believe literally no one is talking about how satisfying Nice tutorials voice softs.

I'm 6 years into Ableton and your video still taught me lots. That hide the stop button was a gem. So was delink automation from clip. I don't think you'd make much money from doing this great job and that's probably why they are select and few and far between. Still worth the wait.

This is SOOOooOOoooOOoo helpful. And your description of initial interactions with Ableton was spot on!

One of the best video’s for starting with Ableton! I watched many tutorials, but somehow didn’t get the hang of the best workflow and coherence within Ableton. This video cleared it all up for me. Thank you so much ! :-)

This is a must-watch for anyone starting to use Ableton live.

I love your lightning learning approach. I admit, you go fast, but because of your indexed timeline on the left, I find myself coming back to your videos like a reference book. These videos are better than most paid online courses. Keep up the good work. You are inspirational and drive creativity of many people. Thank you.

Very useful/helpful. I feel lost everytime I load Ableton. The dual window is a gr8 help. I tried reading the online manual and fell asleep around page 20 so thank you loopop .

Hey just stumbled onto this channel today but I learned more in 37 minutes than I have in the last 4 months trying to figure this stuff out. You have gained a subscriber and I really appreciate you taking the time to put this video together. I will be checking out many more. Thank you.

In my opinion, this is the best tutorial for Ableton Live. Not even their own courses explain things this better. I could never understand the difference between Arrangement and session view prior to this. Thanks a lot.

Dude, if I ever meet you in person I am going to give you a big hug and buy you a beer. Anytime I am learning about new hardware of software and I see that you've made a video about it, my eyes light up and I say "YES!" out loud. You're awesome.

You should have some sculpture risen for you in your town, something like that. Thank you very much, this was outstandingly well explained, useful and funny. A million thanks!

this was a great video! just wanted to refresh my mind and this was a great video to do so! Very quick to the point and covers all of the important stuff. Doesnt carry on on unimportant stuff. Just covers it fast and easily and moves on without wasting your time! Great video and very well explained and done!

Perfect introductory video. Thank you so much. As a beginner, I probably spent around 30 hours trying to figure all this out before I found this video, trying to decipher the manual and other tutorials with some but not much success. You saved me a whole lot of time and frustration with this video. Your channel is so valuable to a lot of people, keep it up!

This is perhaps the single most useful video I've ever seen on any software ever. I cannot believe how much I didn't know about live before this. I mean to be fair I had barely used it other than making little loops but still. This was something wonderful

Excellent - good tips - some of them even new for people having some experience with Live. For me it was very helpful when coming back to Live after a long break - thx a lot!

Awesome. I was drawn like a magnet to this tutorial. I thought I knew everything of Live 10 already. Some very good tips in here. Like how to avoid the annoying simultaneous playing in both session and arrangementview and also mapping of 3rd party plugins.

i can't begin to describe how helpful this tutorial is. going to be revisiting this one a few times for sure. 10/10 loopop

I wish there was a SUPER like button for this video. I’ve been working in ableton for years and I still discovered so many useful things with this video. Your videos are fantastic! Keep it up!

What I don't really understand is why don't you have over 1 million subscribers.

I knew all of this, except that... Shift+Space starts playing from the same place as where I stopped :D not sure how I lived without that for so long!

Such a perfect video for someone coming from another DAW. Every other tutorial I've watched just goes over all the obvious stuff. This video is so well laid out and covers all the details that I wouldn't have picked up on my own. The two window recommendation is something I'm absolutely going to use. Thanks a lot!

This is possibly one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Thank you!

Omg dude. I've used plenty of video editing software but Ableton totally scared the shit out of me! This video is invaluable! So much info, such a helpful video! Thanks mate! Take my sub!

That was the best video i've seen all year. Thanks so much!! Also "Jazz" made me lol

You are a complete GEM for the youtube community and it's people like YOU that keep this platform afloat. You got yet another subscriber man. Please don't stop anytime soon lol.

I've watched quite a few Ableton tutorials but yours is by far the best! I'm only 18min in but I've learned a great deal from you already, you do a great job explaining the material. Thanks man!

The Psyco music at the beginning really made me laugh :) A first for me watching a tutorial lol. Brilliant all the way . An excellent teacher, quite reassuring and managing to nip in the bud those psycho moments !

Really really good tutorial. I’ve learnt stuff today and I’ve used live regularly for a couple of years now. You don’t know, what you don’t know! With a software that has soo much potential, it’s easy just to go through stuff you think you need or find relevant and then miss bits. Kudos for doing this.

I have been digging around for a quick tutorial to just get me transitioned from the linear DAW environment that I am used to and up and running quickly with Ableton so I can get started on a project that is way behind schedule. You answered every question that I have been looking for answers to in one concise video without dwelling too long on any particular point. I also like how you saved the settings for last and just got right into the meat of it. This definitely helped to ease the learning curve. It’s almost as if you have gone through these same pain points yourself and actually took note of it knowing you would be making this video one day. 😉 I have bookmarked this and am looking forward to watching your other videos once I get this project off my plate. Thank you so much!

This tutorial is just cleverly brilliant. The fact that you start on a clean slate several times makes it super easy to follow. I would just pay attention to the speed you sometimes move your mouse, as it could be difficult for us to follow where you are a a very precise moment. Congrats for the exceptional content and the supremely pedagogical way of presenting it.

This video- I'm getting the emotions!

Perfect walkthrough. Made me decide to stick with Logic for now though :)

This is the most comprehensive video that covers everything that a new user may encounter, starting at the splitting of session and arrangement view. I did the exact same thing. Just that first tip is proof that you are teaching others through learned experience. Thank you for your time!

Hands down THEEE best tutorial for Ableton Live..I've been searching low and high for you !!

The perfect Ableton tutorial doesn't exis-

After trying to make something, like literally something on Ableton and failing every time, I was finally able to to do something! And I think now that it will become my favorite DAW (and actually I think I understand now why so many people like it more than FL or Logic). Thank you Ziv 🙏

I've been struggling understanding Live for YEARS. You clearly described some details I knew but forgot, I wasn't 100% clear on, or in some cases had totally wrong assumptions about. THANK YOU.

I am an avid Ableton user / producer and watched many ableton tutial videos. Your Video is by far the best simplest explained one I ever seen and Ive even learned a few new tricks from you that I wasn't aware off. Thank you

You can leave "Arm exclusive" on and just hold CMD to arm more the one clip. Same for solo. Very useful ;)

Experienced exactly the same ... for self-learning purpose I worked a couple of hours, days, weeks on my first project and must say.... with DJ background the learning curve is quite low until you really get the difference between session and arrangement view

Thank you for doing hard work of putting all this togother and sharing with us. One of best Live reviews.

The BEST live class I've seen yet! Spectacular work loopop!

Great! I am an music teacher in the analog realm for MANY years and have not ventured into anything electronic other than a guitar and recently took an interest in working with a DAW and creating music. I've spent hours pouring over videos of Ableton (Live-Lite came with my midi keyboard) and while I picked up the basics on how to record and move around a bit in the program, I didn't connect the two different functions of clips and composition. Your video really is the missing piece. I teach and I think differently than someone working on their own since my function is not only to do it but also how to explain to someone else the process and to dissect it in steps so it makes sense. Most of the videos I've watched lack that - the holistic process. You have not. Thanks for a great introduction to this process for someone who doesn't have friends already doing it!

i use live since 4-5 years almost on a daily basis, and even i learnd some small things from this video, for example the unlinked automations! Great job loopop, you really have a talent to explain things.

give this man a medal. finally the best beginner breakdown of ableton

you"re a great instructor. this video is so valuable. I've been using Ableton for a while but never properly "learned" it. this filled in a lot of things I missed. Thanks!

Although I'm using Live suite for about 5 years, but as a second DAW, I still find such tutorials quite useful as they cover the very basics which aren't being covered by many tutors. Thanks @loopop :)

Its been years since you posted this.. but you are so awesome and compressing bazillions of infos into comprehensible formats.. kudos.. I nearly threw Ableton away and went only VCV Rack before your video.. now I can combine em for more power! Thx and luv..

One of the best tutorials I've been watching on YT. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

This is GOLD! Thank you for that. You're by far the best Ableton's teacher here

Honestly the best tutorial I have ever seen for Free. You rock dude.

Excellent video. It's not the first video to watch if you've just started with DAWs. Watch it after you've watched a few quick start drum pattern videos and tried to write a couple of songs yourself. Then you will see the magic of this. When I started using Ableton I kept getting lost and didn't know how to get back to a previous window, scene or effect. This chap knows that Ableton is powerful but often far from intuitive. It is a reference work which I will keep coming back to. It is full of tips to make life easier and help you work faster. I immediately bookmarked, liked and subscribed after watching it.
