I was stuck, staring at ableton for the last hour. Watched this and got inspired. Your process is very practical and freeing. Thank you for this. I'm now about 10 tracks into my scene and just sketching.

Maybe they down vote cause 1 they don't like the sound or possibly they do not like her process her choice of sounds. I didn't down vote it but could say can't say I like her process. It's fine for her. I don't use samples and throw stuff around I always use a rythmn or solo melody myself. Again different people do different things but this seems more like it's all about the computer at the centre and expensive equipment. I know a ton of musicians who use next to nothing to write their songs . Again im only showing why some people might down vote it .

Yet again, wonderfully selflessly insightful. RCK, it’s not just your beautiful songwriting and your enthusiasm for process, it’s also about how much you give back. Song writing and production is so personal, private, sacred even; yet you have allowed people to experience that place and that journey with you - not many people are gracious to the extent that they are prepared to share that level of themselves. Truly inspiring.

Aww thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

I love this girl!! Keep the vibes alive!!!

This is one of the best song writing videos I have seen yet! Thank you for this! Be blessed!

Rachel, you are a gem and deserve every bit of success you strive for and have coming!

Dear Rachel thanks for these amazing insights, it's a treasure, helping a lot! Not many artists would be so brave to show the creative process like you!

You are incredible! I LOVE how "flowey" your creative process is.. It's super inspiring. (All your music is amazing too! Keep doing what you do!)

Thanks for the resources rachel you really inspire us everyday. Congrats on your latest release ❤

Applause. I find this very inspiring and the flow of it feels very natural and genuine. Thanks for sharing.

You are fantastic! Always inspiring, and an absolute wizard at music production.

Awesome video Rachel!!

I wish there were more videos like this on KZread. There are so many tutorials on specific production techniques, but it's so rare to see a video on the actual creative process of how to start writing a song/track with a unique perspective. Thanks Rachel. You are awesome.

Incredible process! You’re amazing, and super creative! ❤

As always fantastic!

This was the most refreshing and useful video I’ve seen in a while 👏👏👏

As a record producer I have to say your videos are super inspiring! This video makes me jump into my push and create ! Thanks Rachel!

I've been using Ableton for a few years now, but it's always great to see how light-hearted Rachel describes the process of making music. Sometimes you just have to think less and just do it. I usually start in session view too but I'm often quite tense and Rachel makes it all look so easy and relaxed. Great video!!!

Thanks for sharing this insight into your songwriting workflow, Rachel! 🙏🎶

Absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing your process.

Your explanations and demonstrations are always top notch. I appreciate that you often go right for the important bits of info relevant to what you’re doing. And love the breakdowns of setup after many of your performances. Somehow you know what a lot of us like to learn. Thank you so much for being so open and clear, plus inspiring! Also, I love the boards on the keyboard stand 😅. I feel that. Always trying to find ways to flexibly arrange gear haha

Awesome love this kind of workflow🎶

Amazingly inspiring video! Thank you!

Inspirational as always Rachel

Really enjoyed this video. Just getting started in production and you had so many helpful tips. Always love when you sing random thoughts to demonstrate the technique. Helps me understand not to be focused on perfection, but rather, the creative process.

Really nice video! Good inspo . Great guiding. Keep it up and thanx for sharing

I love your music. Thanks for sharing.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!! 😍

Gosh I'm so glad I stumbled on to your vids. Really cool tunes and thanks for sharing what you know!

Great video! Thanks for sharing your process.

By far one of the most helpful and insightful videos on songwriting in Ableton live. The fact you took us along with you on the journey is so helpful. Thanks, got loads from this 👍 Welsh aswell! I'm from Llanelli (Carmarthenshire) 👍

Very nice to see the actual workflow. Thank you!

Discovered this video today and this is how I write music too! I cant work with chords I need rhythm or some sort of sample to write something! RKC you rock! Even the gibberish sounds good!!!

Great tips! Thanks for sharing your creative process! 🙌

I am glad I found your channel, this was extremely helpful!

Thanks Rachel, this is brilliant and so inspirational. You're a great teacher.

Really well presented and a lot of good advice. Thank you Rachel.

Love the Video! Really helpful stuff!!

This is great, thank you! It's so smart freeing yourself up in that way, so you can use a different part of your brain to create and write. It's like you are knocking down walls instead of starting from within a confined cell. You can go anywhere. FAB!!!

This is tremendously insightful into your process. Very inspiring. Carry on being awesome.

Nice song! I saved it as my favorites in Spotify today. Love that driving beat. Makes you want to move. Glad I found you!

Hella cool of you to upload this! Really enjoyed it.

absolutely amazing how you went along producing this from scratch. Your comment of " I don´t wanna get stuck to a keyboard when starting" reminds me of myself when feeling you are stuck to black and white keys over and over again. Thank you!

First time commenting on any of your videos. I felt compelled to do so because so much of what you have put out has inspired me. Truth be told I’m probably going to sign up for Splice right now, and your recommendation. Thank you for all that your content!

Rad! I think this was the song you showed in the SKT songwriting masterclass - love that this is a condensed version of the lesson you taught. Love that Bm 😍 this song is such a vibe.

Wow, this opens my eyes. What a very nice way to produce nice vibes... COOL !

Awesome tips on the b section, and had just started to get into the changing vocal speeds/highs lows,...but love seeing this and getting the confirmation :) Thanks again!!

Thank you for this rachel got some new musical ideas from this.

Great job! AI have been wanting to watch a video about this subject for so long! Thanks for sharing your creative proces, I will borrow a few ideas for sure!!!

Rachel you are always so inspiring.. I’m only at the 7:45 mark and you got me really back into XO just when I was thinking .. I always try everything and go back to old ways… first it was Efektor DL.. now things!!!…. You’re A Star!!!!…

It's been difficult for me to break out of arrangement view when writing music...but this helps a lot. Seeing how much you use session view just for capturing ideas, no matter how many you create, is inspiring.

Wow... what an amazing, fun and interesting session.. Thank you for making this video, it is truly inspirational

Very cool. Shows how you can just vibe and then curate. 😃

This was great. I get so caught in my ridged way of thinking sometimes. This really inspired me to just wing it sometimes and not be so hard on myself.

Proper masterclass, very useful thx

Always crystal clear, and super professional. Thank you so much.

Very inspiring, thank you 🙏

I remember when the first plugins came out. My god there are so many to chose from now it can be overwhelming. I write on guitar and so understanding how chords can interconnect is my way of finding melodies. I am now learning piano and so it is mainly just learning shapes as I know enough theory. Having said that there is a mountain of inspiration with DAWS and plugins to compliment or even write in a very different way. It's a never ending journey and so much fun.

I love your creative process. Very similar to mine in many ways. Brilliant!

Excellent love this 😀

we need a studio tour!!

OMG this was a complete epiphany moment. I never approached composition this way, but i started jamming to your clips, and it was a breath of fresh air.

Nice video! Ah.. the reface CS.. What an amazing sounding synth I use it all the time. And nice track btw.

Thank you so much for this breakdown. It helps a lot especially for new Ableton users since everything is a bit overwhelming in the beginning. I already learned a lot through KZread videos and even made my own beat just by trying stuff out, experimenting with chords and notes. It's good to know that you work similarly. I was a bit afraid about making a melody since my music theory knowledge is a bit dusty nowadays. I hope Scaler 2 can help me with that as well, at least with finding new chord progressions. Also, "You can pretend" is one of my favorite songs of yours! Keep it up! ;D

I love that you admitted to picking up a drum loop when feeling lazy. Totally relatable lol.

You're honnestly rocking some of the best contempory pop music out there
