jusrt so you know the link is broken, found my way to it though
Oh goodness, it's so refreshing to find someone who talks in a language that total beginners understand!!
Took me from learning curve option paralysis to calmly "getting it." What a breath of fresh air... a guy who doesn't assume we can fill in the blanks while trying to impress us. I'm impressed with simplicity. Thanks John...bless you.
MADE MY FIRST BEAT IN ABLETON AFTER THIS. I've been recording audio and my guitar through my mic lol. Fantastic bit of knowledge I highly recommend
Wow! After watching loads of videos on KZread on learning Ableton Live, I’ve actually found one that explains everything perfectly! And I’ve made my first drum beat! Thank you so much! Subscribed!

The best lesson ever , I am doing music production with ableton and this solved everything
I feel like I was just in my favorite class, with that one teacher everyone likes and today's lesson was one of those memorable days. Lol. Thank You!
Such a great intro to Ableton! You do a really good job of making this simple and approachable, and I'm really all for the "Learn by doing" approach. Really appreciate this!
I literally made a new playlist just for this video! Super helpful, and got me off on the right foot. Thank you so much for creating it! Keep up the incredible content!
I know a lot of people warn and complain about how COMPLICATED Ableton is, but to me it's the most INTUITIVE DAW that I've ever worked with
your are legend. I went through so many youtube videos but there was nothing except all confusing stuff for beginners. thank you so much, you made my life easy.
Perfect tutorial for me as an absolute beginner. Thanks so much!!! Even as a German I understood all your words! :)
Helped me loads i hope you do a whole series! When i first loaded up abelton i couldn't do anything but listen to previews lol, awesome video man keep em coming!
This might be the most I've ever learned about anything in 15 minutes. It has certainly been the most instructive video I've seen on Ableton. So clear and straight to the point with exactly what I needed to know. What an amazing teacher and what a fab resource you've made with this video. I can't think why anyone has given this a thumbs down. Maybe some folk are phobic about pot plants in the background. :) Thank you so much.
You sir, have a talent for producing good online tutorials. I've worked in the online learning industry for 20 years, and I couldn't have done better. Also, just thanks! I'm new to Ableton, this was a big help, after floundering with other videos.
Thank you once again! Being trying making music with Ableton (struggling heavily I must say) for years and I have learned a lot of new things with your tutorial! Great tips! Kind regards.
Just subbed to the channel! This was an extremely easy to understand video as a beginner who's just been messing around in Ableton for the last 7 months. Thank you so much for this video
thank you for this step-by-step walkthrough!! it really breaks it down, feel like I understand the basics of beat-making a bit thank youuuuuuuu (have been so frustrated/intimidated up till now!)
Easily the best Ableton beginner explanation video i've found on KZread. Thanks so much for the breakdown!
You are absolutely amazing! Your instructions are so clear and concise. Thank you so much
Thanks, I learn new ideas every time I rewatch.
Brilliant!
Thanks mate, you got me to do more in this video than I could manage alone a couple months ago which made me completely give up on t :)
John. I have had this launchpad since Xmas 2019. Thanks for this video and your channel. Managed to follow this with no problems. That’s me hooked. Now for the next tutorial.
Made me smile how good this sounded after only 3 or 4 simple steps
This was such a good and easy to understand tutorial! Definitely subbed!!!
I don't remember subscribing to this channel, but I'm glad I did.

So glad to hear it! Let me know if you need any more help.
This teaching style is awesome for beginners. Thanks a lot!
That was the best demo I've found yet!!
That was bloody amazing nice job, thank U!
I had some great fun creating my first beat thank you!
Thank you for this. So good to find a beginner video that actually explains to beginners. I have watched several in the past few days and everyone of them seems to assume you have prior knowledge. Several videos show the features of Ableton - supposedly for beginners - but doesn’t explain the How! I shall now go look for more of your excellent instruction.
Awesome and helpful video. Thanks so much. Ive been procrastinating even turning Ableton on for a fear of not being able to wrap my head around it but this tutorial simplified everything for me.
You're a lifesaver. thank you.
Amazing tutorial! Thanks!
I just subscribed because of how this guy explains everything for actual beginners. Thank you!
I just bought some kit to start playing around making some electronic music and this vid really helped with getting my head around it. Thanks!
love the video. One of the most helpful vids I've seen on learning how to use Ableton. You've earned my subscription lol, keep posting plz :)
Incredible stuff mate, this was so helpful!!!
That was so helpful. Thanks brother.
Thank you so much, this video was the jumpstart I needed 👏
thank you sooo much !!!!!! learning alot .
Great job!!
Thank you sooooo much for your way of explaining, much appreciated!
Soo cool! simple and easy to understand.
I've watched MANY tutorials and 99% talk and move too fast through the menus. His is the first I actually understood and made my first accompaniment tune.. Thanks
Glad that you just got right into the point and didn't move as slowly as other tutorials!!!
Knowing the basic basics and hopping into Ableton is fun, but you exposing some things I didn't know about or was doing in a more complex way has helped me a lot. Can't wait to scower your channel for other useful info.
