So refreshing to watch a tutorial catered to beginners who are also new to learning music entirely, not just new to Ableton. Most tutorials are for beginners but use so many terms that brand new beginners do not understand in the slightest. THANK YOU!

I really appreciate this video, it can be so overwhelming to open a new program and see so many buttons and drop down menus. Way to cherry pick the need-to-knows here, after 15 minutes, it's not so scary of an interface

By far the best opening tutorial video for Ableton on youtube!!!!

DJ here for 25 years. Im just now starting to write music. Finding your tutorials very informative and easy to watch. Thank you for taking the time to instruct us during this opportunistic and dark time! Please keep it up!

bro.......im not sure why.....but FINALLY things clicked. ive been staring at random DAWS wondering how to even begin to get SOMETHING started. Without the completely overwhelmed and helpless feeling i had when twisting random knobs and putting things in random places hoping something will start making sense. and in just 15 minutes listening to you i finally got the sense i was looking for I APPRECIATE YOU

The way you go into the smallest details in this video and every other beginners one you made keeps motivating me to go to your next videos non stop. You're doing an amazing work buddy

Hey everyone! I hope you learn heaps in this video, let me know the questions and challenges you have here in the comments and hopefully I can help you out! :) EDIT - UPDATED 2021 VERSION OF THIS VIDEO CAN BE FOUND HERE - kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6OLsdWRf6bbhqQ.html

Thanks for explaining everything so clearly! I'm starting froms scratch, so this is really helpful.

Awesome! Been trying to watch a tutorial for ages that actually explains this program in a simple manner and you have done just that. Bravo good sir

Thanks for a truly short intro to Ableton Live. When I see long videos my eyes start to gloss over just thinking about how complicated it might be. Well done.

Great tutorial. A well spent 15 minutes of my time! Helped me get my head around this DAW quickly.

i have watched alot of guides over the past years for different subjects and stuff, but you are just perfect man, not to slow , not too fast just right.

By far the best ableton instructional I’ve seen. Practical and to the point. Thanks!

This is absolutely wonderful, perfect introduction. Quick note: Around 12:45 you say click and drag. It took me some Googling to realize you meant to drag up and down! It was counterintuitive because the movement you see on the screen is horizontal, not vertical.

@HyzraulHaq

4 жыл бұрын

If you refer to 07:40 you can see he says to click and drag up and down. Most programs will have the same "clicking and dragging" behavior throughout the entire app. In any case if horizontal wasn't working, you could've tried vertical instead. All part and parcel of exploring the interface.

This is exactly what I needed. I was looking for a good beginner video and you aced it. Thanks so much!
