I always enjoyed this tutorial but looking back at it always wanted to improve the quality of the video and add in some new knowledge - so that's what I did. If you're interested you can check out a remastered, updated version of this tutorial 1.5 years later: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lXuJxqage8erl5s.html

@@InspirAspir Me tooooo! Please make another live 10, with all the latest instruments and m4live tutorials....And some kind of vocal...!
Thank you for doing this tutorial right. I've had to "rewind" through way too many "how to" videos that still left out minor important details! You were clear, made sense & to the point.
OMG Finally someone that gets to the point, while being hilarious, and actually teaches me something. Thank you so much for your videos!!!
This helped me so much, i was extremely confused as to how to do this exact thing and now you have solved my problems! Thank, great videos by the way!
I just binge watched your entire "for beginners" playlist. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE! It was exactly what I needed.
It's one thing to START your first song, it's another thing entirely to FINISH it- good thing I made another tutorial video! Click the following link to learn some tips/steps on how to complete your first song, enjoy! kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYGI0pZ_g7ayosY.html

Thank you for making one of the better how to use Ableton videos. It is much appreciated.
Just watched this and the beginners video, love how you break it all down into simple steps so someone with no idea what they're doing (me) can understand it. Thanks, and keep 'em coming!
Thanks for this video InspirAspir....... It helped me alot and I'll be soon Making my own song and will be giving you the credits for teaching me..... Thanks again...... Awesome video!!!!!
I really like how when you are talking about a quick change to make you say it like you're making a song, "I think i like this better, so i think im going to change it" it added a different feel rather than the normal boring "So now you click here then here, and bring this down.. etc" Very nice tutorial!
this is what i was looking for years! the foundation of how to make a song! its the most important thing, everything else its just time consuming and perfecting the idea... but this is what i was looking for because there was always something missing and i didnt know where to start, i always started with the drums and ritme and i got stuck every time, the funny thing is i asked for help with real musicians and nobody had "time" to help me, so i what to thank you very much for making this videos and help people out how to do what they enjoy doing and dont feel bad because there is always something falling behind that we cannot see...
Thanks man! I had watched other videos on how to use Ableton, but they failed to show me how to actually put sounds together to start making a song. You filled that gap and I thank you!
As a total beginner, I found this video very helpful - especially for introducing the arrangement view. Thank you!
Nicely made video man. Informative, interesting, good pacing, and you talked clearly (which i find a lot of tutorials lack). Great job:) keep up the good work
Im an fl user and im learning abelton you did a great job! Now im considering getting it because of the layout thank you!
Love how you explain the tutorial man, please make more videos, I trully want to learn about producing and some videos are way too difficult for my level
Wow I remember watching this 2 years ago clueless on using DAWS, and Its funny to look back and see how far I've come. I rembwr being so happy when I started to learn the most basic things from this Tutorial Lol Thanks man
Thank you for making this! I just successfully made my first (super basic) song using your tutorial and now have the confidence to continue messing around and experimenting :)

This helped me so much, you explained everything I didn't know clear and the other stuff i watched didn't really help me. Now I can try once again. Thanks
The first ableton tutorial that actually teaches not only how to make an ableton song, but how to actually realistically use ableton simply, easily and more efficiently to create beats, rhythms etc and of course "how to actually use ableton". Truly a beginners guide. Well done man. ✌️🙏❤️😁
Thanks for teaching me everything! One of the best tutorials!
Pedagogically...man...AMAZING! This is made for learners. I will repeat Matthew, going from video "x" to video "y"...and then comes the pearl, that's this one. Thanks InspirAspir. I guess CUBASE is trying to buy you out!? Seriously, thanks a lot, I made my first music from scratch in 90 minutes...emotional!
I just got back in to recording and this video helped me out so very much. Thank you!
Thank you for making this video, I have seen so many but this one puts it into terms a true beginner can understand. You have a new sub and I can't wait for Dreamland EP.
you nailed the tutorial bruh thnx man that was super duper dope gonna watch ur videos till i learn everything and recommend everyone else
Omg, thank you so much! I love your tutorials and you thought me how to use the midi extension and how to make lightshows and now how to make a song which I have always wanted to do but all the tutorials I watched used the drum rack and I could never get it so thank you for being the tutorial master!!!!,
you are like the best example for Ableton. Its sad that you only got like 12 views for this video but your helping a lot and I thank you for that so keep on doing these videos
Honestly I wish I found this video over a year ago. I had no idea what I was doing back then and now Im teaching a friend how to use ableton so he can persue music and I think this would be the perfect start for him
your videos are best launchpad and live tutorials i have seen。thank you sir!
Thanks a lot for the incredible tutorial man! Do you have any idea why does the pitch of everything sound lower than yours even though I followed your instruction exactly? What audio preferences do you use?
hey man, all your videos helped me really much and I really appreciate the fact that there's a channel that fully explains how to do certain things, its very helpful!

Thank you so much! I really love your simple and fun tutorial. Good music 😄 thank you so much for inspiring me 😄
thank you so much i watched so many tutorials before this one and it finally made sense
I made step by step this tutorial. Key by key and it was equal! It sounded like yours. But after finish it, I started changing some stuff yo test it out, like the bass instrument and that kind of stuff and yeah it was good. Thanks
Amazing video, this really helped me out alot! Because of your video, it brought me back into spirit as I had a hard time creating a melody and this video inspired me to keep trying. Thank you with all my heart!
thanks bro, hard to find clear and concise instructions like on this video. Keep it up!
Hey IA, I really like your lesson, and the way all related are mentioned in the same moment. Cool brain, I'll fly through this at same rate. Nice one !
Dude. Thanks for this tutorial. I have been using Ableton since Live 7 and love it. I've recorded bands, my own music and all sorts of experimentations. Although I can say I have used some of these methods in the past, this tutorial is still exemplary on giving a start to a piece of music. Using all different techniques for a purpose. Also I had to note how you began with a simple, almost ubiquitous chord flow, but showing still how by the end, with using the arranger's imagination the piece finished can sound entirely original. Cheers suh! Keep on arranging, producing, and rocking in the free world dude.

I have be messing around with ableton abit, most tutorials i've seen, showed the person making more complex pieces, other then the fact that made it harder to follow as a beginner, it made the expectation of what you are gonna make as a beginner get way to high. so i like the fact that you made your production simple in the tutorial and then showed what it could grow to be, made it a bit easier to play around with the program.

Thank you i started on ableton and was lost but then i saw your video an i LOVED it thank you...really :D
Incredibly simple! I know a thing or two about music, but with this software I don't also have to be a computer nerd to implement my beats.
You are so optimistic. Thank you
Wow..!! Thank you so much dude..!! Keep doing the good work..!
Yo, bro you really helped me out. Tnx for this vid and ye pls make it a serie!
If you dislike what this man is doing, you have no soul. Great job I'm using it to power level now, thank you very much man.
I loved your tutorial! Thank you SO much. I struggle a lot with taking a LOOP into a SONG. There's a lot of content on how to go as far as you did but to build an actual track... I'd love to know the process!
You could be an awesome teacher bro!!! I really liked watching this video as you carried on with the basics and did not waver off into the more complicated stuff, which is very demotivating for a beginner like me.

Thanks a LOT! all i need is 2 hours and i made my own song! that means i have another reason to not leave the house
I finally found the tutorial I'm looking for. Thank you.
Finally, a video that makes it so simple
u just gave every one the correct way to start good job man
Thank you for the tutorial I'm a just a beginner but hope into making great songs like you.
Thanks you for making this so easy, i can finally try to make a song
I laughed so hard when you said "NEVER MIND" after adding that second instrument :D this video is super useful. I really needed something to show me how to get into the piano roll after having played with FL for a minute before realizing that ableton is all anyone uses and therefore is easier to get help with. :)
So helpful thankyou did not fall asleep unlike other tutorials
What is going on here? I've had a midi keyboard and ableton for a year and I've watched 20+ hours of vids about how to use it. You're the first one to say press tab and actually show us how to make the music. Thank you!!!
great stuff..! making a demo on basics is what new users look for :)
Worked , thanks a lot!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. So helpful
Its helping me now. Thanks.
Finally, a well explained Aebleton tutorial for Dumkies. Thanks a lot buddy!
This video is a blessing
Amazing. This has helped a lot!
THANKS MAN, YOU THE BEST
Fascinating thanks! Just bought live 10 std. Just gotta buy the interfaces.
Thank you very much. This was very helpful.
Even though I'm a very new sub, I've watched a lot of your tutorials and I love them all. 😁
