Ableton users b like - bruh scrolling is so easy, just plug the alternator into the diaphragm and put it on 'boot looper ver. 2' with numerical coefficients that use the "a", "b", and "c" from "ax2 + bx + c", where "a", "b", and "c" are just apart of the hippocampus.
I felt like him about 6 years ago when I just started with Ableton. But now it is really entertaining to see how FL logic doesn't allow him to percept different mechanisms of dealing with a DAW.
ableton was a confusing complicated mess for me until one day it just randomly 'clicked' and I was like "..... why did I ever use FL, this works so much better for me"@@BlackinVegas
This is true, but a lot of programs still insist on doing something different, like Blender for instance uses CTRL + Shift + Z to undo. That's a very common combo for redoing an action. MacOS uses Command Shift Z for redo for instance which is basically the same thing.
@@thunderbolt10031 kinda funny in FL ctrl Z is both undo and redo, so fun! Oh, what's that, you want to press ctrl Z again to go further back, why that's redo of course, to undo multiple things is ctrl alt z, so fun.
As an Abelton user, The scroll bar is absolutely Horrible, you describing it as feeling like it's on an ice rink is way to accurate, I never use it because everytime I do I get flung into another dimension.
2:34 what you showed is totally possible in the cheap version of ableton. Audio slicing is an automatic transient detection system that will separate your sample in segments. I've never used this feature tbh
I might add that buying this version if you don't have the money for the standard edition is totally worth it. The only notable downsides are : -16 tracks only, but with the infinite grouping system in each track you can have all your fx and drums in 1 track, and all your synth in 1 track too. And if you still need more, you can always create another project file! - you will have a small portion of ableton's stock plugins, which is a bit disapointing because you won't have access to a lot of godlike plugins that come with the other versions of Ableton. But honestly you can find free 3rd party plugins that will do the job
@@Fascry_personally i think ableton is only worht it for the plugins, there are other, cheaper daws that are fully featured like reaper and the rest of the plugins u need u can get online for free
Hi! Ableton user for 13 years here. Sorry you don't like the program! But, if there is anyone else confused by the same things, this feels like a good opportunity to have the explanations all in one place. Here is a list of the questions and my answers: 7:00 - You have to click off of the sample to stop it from replaying constantly. You can click off in arrangement view or select a new file or folder in the browser on the left. 7:34 - "Why does it sound worse when I drag it in?" Typically the first thing I do when I load a sample, especially a drum sample, I have to adjust the Fades. You have to disable automation view (Press "A"; if this doesn't do it, press "M" first to turn off your Keyboard Midi input). Then, hover over the sample. You should see some points and a tiny slope. If you can't see them, zoom in to the sample. Drag the top left point next to the waveform all the way to the left to preserve the transients. You see him dragging the sliders at 14:15 if you need to see what I'm talking about. 9:30 - "Don't I only get a certain amount of audio tracks?" In the demo version I'm not sure, but as far as I'm aware you have infinite audio tracks. 10:40 - "How do I add an EQ to this?" If you have the sample open, you will need to switch to the effects view. In the bottom right of the screen with the sample or track selected, you'll see a long window. You have to click on this to open the effects chain. In the browser on the left, you'll see "Audio Effects" and "Plug-ins". For EQ 8, seeing as it's an Ableton stock plugin, it will be in Audio Effects. If you want to use imported VSTs, you'll select "Plugins". Ableton is kind of dumb with this compared to, like, Reaper for example, because you can only have one plugins folder. Instead of clicking and dragging, you can select your audio track and then double click the effect you want in the browser 12:30 - "How do I open the piano roll?" In a Midi track (create one using CTRL+SHIFT+T, "T" for "track"), highlight the section you want to add a midi clip to. Then, press CTRL+SHIFT+M for "Midi". Double click on the bar in the section you've inserted a midi clip into. 12:53 - This one wasn't a question, but for ease of navigability (these apply to piano roll and arrangement view): SHIFT+Scroll - Move from side to side CTRL + Scroll - Horizontal zoom ALT + Scroll - Vertical zoom, makes notes or tracks longer 13:00 - "Why did this D key stop working?" You may have moved the midi note or play tracker slightly before the beginning of the midi clip. He figures this out at 15:45ish 15:00 - The question wasn't asked, but it is important to note: If you press C or V, you will lower or aise your velocity respectively. Not super important for the serum patch you had because you had nothing set to velocity, but if you were wondering about the discrepency between the color of this note and the color of the note in a previous midi track, that would be the issue. 15:22 - "Why is there not a scroll bar?" For the same functionality, you'll scroll using the section at the top of the piano roll right underneath where you drag to make resize the window. You'll see the beat markers (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.1, and so on); you will need to click and drag these to scroll with your mouse and no keyboard. It's in the same location as the one shown in FL after this, but it is just the beat markers instead of an actual functional GUI of a scroll bar itself. Alternatively, you can drag with a window in the bottom right underneath the piano roll. 17:43 - "What the f- is loop mode?" You'll find the "Loop" setting in your piano roll to the left in the "clip" settings. If I recall correctly, having this on will loop the clip when you extend it in arrangement view; but if you turn it off, it will simply make the midi clip longer. 18:45 - Some notes on automation in Ableton Press A to toggle Automation mode. When it is on, you will see parameters on the right underneath the title of your audio track. You can select the effect or instrument you are wanting to automate on the top bar and the parameters within those plugins on the bottom. At the bottom right of the selected track, you will see a "+" sign. If you click this, it will create a new lane showing the parameters you are automating. You can press B to enter Pencil Mode to draw automation. If you do not want it to snap to the grid, you can hold down ALT while you click and drag to design your automation fluently. If there is a shape you want, you can highlight the section in the arrangement view that you would like to automate, right click and select one of the shapes at the bottom of the popup menu. If you want to raise or lower a section, you can highlight that section and drag the line up or down. This will create four new points making a "square" shape.
I produce on a laptop that I usually keep on the left side and use the touchpad for these gestures. Incredible and can be transferred to other software than daws
I was showing my FL-user friend a Live project file one day, double clicked to throw in an EQ and he went "holy shit that was so easy ableton is amazing", and all I could be like was like "Yes, but no"@@twgt666
@@ДжонСнежныйhow is the worst idea ever? My finger doesn’t have to reach for the delete key and I can just right click instead. Also if you accidentally delete you can just undo
@@dolakanz680 what about an accidental deletion that you might not notice? fl is poorly optimized for large projects. you can also accidentally duplicate a pattern on a pattern and not notice that, as a result you destroy you sound
dude this is so refreshing, i was using FL for like 10 years then had to switch over to ableton cuz the producer i was working with forced me to and nothing made me angrier than the midi difference, FL midi game is too good
Ctrl Z/Y is the standard undo/redo across windows though. For scrolling you gotta learn shift scroll for horizontal and ctrl scroll for in out, I struggled with dragging the little window for ages before I figured that out. Navigating becomes a breeze instead of a chore.
I first bought Ableton years ago when I was a student, and I don't remember needing anything more than my edu email. But I could be wrong. However that is super shitty of them to make you verify after they took your money, instead of before. That right there makes me want to switch to a different DAW.
bruh tried like5 times to learn that program after years and years of FL studio. its impossible i'll have a better chance solving a rubix cube than learn ableton
As someone who thought the same, reading the manual actually really helped me figure it out. But at the same time; if FL works for your workflow, why force it? Any DAW at this point will do the exact same shizz as any other DAW
Very true. I learned how to solve a Rubik's cube by spending a little time each day for 3 days. It's taking me a LOT longer to learn Ableton, especially when scrolling is so difficult. 😣
As an FL user who wishes some features of Ableton were in FL and have considered switching to use them, thanks for reminding me why I'm not going to do such a silly thing! So effing funny Nate tyvm!
After 4 years of being an FL user surrounded by ableton supremacists in music production school this video was exactly the breath of fresh air i needed
I use the Fruity Edition of FL and in order to get audio samples into the DAW you have to create a sampler, add a blip in the sequencer, and then do "render and replace." It's a long work around but, it works
If you ever do this again, hold shift and scroll, that'll let you move horizontally within arrangement view. Hold ctrl and scroll and that zooms. Also, for sidechaining, grab a compressor, drop it on the track you wanna sidechain, then click the arrow next to the orange button (that's basically an on/off button), click sidechain, then select the track you wanna sidechain using, like drums. I also recommend looking around the demo track (In The Rain by ninajirachi, you're welcome)
I'm also very sick right (might be covid idk) and I almost lost my lungs listening to the chicken chirping drop, literally wheezing from laughing holy shit
CTRL-Y is the universal Windows shortcut for Redo. Mac-oriented apps use CTRL-Shift-Z. FL uses CTRL-Alt-Z for some reason. Remember that FL had a weird undoing system in the past too. They improved it a lot a couple of years ago.
I used just FL for years and I’ve been full Ableton since 2020, they definitely have their differences but it helps to be fluid with both. I guess it’s second nature now because when watching the video I was like “wait is Ableton the one with ctrl+y??” But now I remember getting used to ctrl+alt+z initially when I started with fl
Hey Nate, as a Reason user im still waiting for ytbers to try it out and find out just how unruly the learning curve is with the rack. Btw if you do wanna try it out, the intro versions are like $70 or $80 so theyre not that expensive and you get most of the devices with a limit of 16 tracks. Still a lot you can do tho if you use combinators to use several devices with one track. Pretty much everything can be automated by alt clicking it. Oh yeah and you can use your ableton trial with reason because reason can directly link with ableton if you let it. Love your content as always tho, I'm not the hugest fan of your style of music but your reaction to ableton features were hilarious and your humour is golden.
ctrl y is the normal undo function for pretty much every program on windows lmoa, as an ableton user ctrl z ctrl y being undo and redo was just muscloe memory, like ctrl c ctrl v being copy paste
So stoked about your flatline remix! I discovered Frost Children this last summer and I love their music! They're super creative, so I was really excited when I woke up today and spotify notified me that there was a new Frost Children remix by Eliminate and I was like WHAAAAT?? Goes hard bro, goes hard
You should give bitwig a shot. I was an FL user and now use it as my main DAW. Similar workflow to Ableton but a lot less of a pain in the ass and clunky. Makes a lot more sense to someone coming from fl
i refuse to use the scroll bar at the top in ableton tracks i just use ctrl and scroll to zoom and then if you hold control alt you can drag around the track, way easier
Making drum patterns advice . Make a empty clip in the drum rack [ after loading your sounds ] then draw your pattern then all you gotta do is drag and drop your clip to the channel your drum rack is on in the arrangement view
Nates lost looking at Ableton, but im lost in 90% of the technical music lingo 100% of the time. Wish i knew how to make music, but really just come for the bangers and comedy. Was hoping to maybe learn something, and learned that its even harder than i would ever imagine, when an actual producer is lost this badly, just from changing platforms. Thank you Nate for showing me how nearly $400 can sound like when you actually already know how to make music.
Dude. This video is exaggerated to hell and back. Don't get me wrong, Nate hates ableton. But he's putting on an act here. He's not really that lost. He's made his choice long ago not to use ableton. This video is just for views lol he's not really TRYING to switch to Ableton. If he was, he wouldn't have a funny comedy video to make
I have been using both fl studio and Ableton for years now. I prefer Ableton over Fl, it's simple and efficient. Work flow in Ableton is much smoother than fl.
it is very subjective, it seems like a lot of people just want to have the "mine is betteR" mentality. i have ableton lite, but i havent been able to figure it out yet. hopefully ill be able to get as fluid and dynamic with it as i am with fl studio. i know pretty much everything in fl studio and can do anything in that daw, if i can manage to get that way with other daws, that would be the dream.
Despite Ableton Lite having only 8 tracks, I feel like I’ve made some really great music. It’s rare that a project of mine ever needs 8 tracks. Hell I make so many different types of music and despite that it’s been fine. Literally the only issue are drums and adding vocals. For vocals I usually start a new project with them, and for drums - I just use a drum rack. Despite what everyone else does.

I used just FL for years and I’ve been full Ableton since 2020, they definitely have their differences but it helps to be fluid with both. I guess it’s second nature now because when watching the video I was like “wait is Ableton the one with ctrl+y??” But now I remember getting used to ctrl+alt+z initially when I started with fl
wait that ID at the end is nuts PLEASE RELEASE
Hey Nate, as a Reason user im still waiting for ytbers to try it out and find out just how unruly the learning curve is with the rack. Btw if you do wanna try it out, the intro versions are like $70 or $80 so theyre not that expensive and you get most of the devices with a limit of 16 tracks. Still a lot you can do tho if you use combinators to use several devices with one track. Pretty much everything can be automated by alt clicking it. Oh yeah and you can use your ableton trial with reason because reason can directly link with ableton if you let it.
Love your content as always tho, I'm not the hugest fan of your style of music but your reaction to ableton features were hilarious and your humour is golden.
Bishu makes it look so easy, and eliminate makes fl look so easy.
They should just swap and see who can make the best beat in 2 hours. :D
That drake line absolutely killed me
Thanks to this video I finally found an ad that cannot be skipped for the entire music video (2:48)
ctrl y is the normal undo function for pretty much every program on windows lmoa, as an ableton user ctrl z ctrl y being undo and redo was just muscloe memory, like ctrl c ctrl v being copy paste
Carl x is cut not copy
@@jasonemmanuel1031 oh shit didnt notice that, meant to type c not x lmoa
19:42 it's like... welcome home
"Ctrl+D is kinda pog" Ctrl+B in FL studio:
WHY IS IT B, as someone who did find the sanity to change daws WHY IS IT B
Buplicate
6:27 how many producers here play this same exact drum pattern when testing out samples
So stoked about your flatline remix! I discovered Frost Children this last summer and I love their music! They're super creative, so I was really excited when I woke up today and spotify notified me that there was a new Frost Children remix by Eliminate and I was like WHAAAAT?? Goes hard bro, goes hard
2:01 "It's a video" -Nathan "Eliminate" Whatevehislastnameis
Nate seems like a Soundtrap guy for sure
You should give bitwig a shot. I was an FL user and now use it as my main DAW. Similar workflow to Ableton but a lot less of a pain in the ass and clunky. Makes a lot more sense to someone coming from fl
bro is on image line's payroll
The 20 empty tracks with nothing on em are sending me
"i'm gonna be playing these beats 'till the next millenium.."
__pauses__
"which, is gonna be in probably, like 1000 years. so get cozy"
Pissing myself laughing when the complaint list pops up...
Everybody talks about how ableton is so complicated but all my friends try to teach me FL and its so complicated T_T
flatline is such a good song crazy to see you remixing it
Now we wait for trying reaper
WOAH I JUST FIGURED OUT YOU CAN SCROLL DOWN IN FULL SCREEN ON THIS VIDEO! THANKS NATE!!!
20 minutes of Nate complaining about another DAW. I love it.
i want that id at the end that sounded sick
Where do I make suggestions for the audio combat stuff?
i refuse to use the scroll bar at the top in ableton tracks i just use ctrl and scroll to zoom and then if you hold control alt you can drag around the track, way easier
-Buy MX Master
-Have 2nd scrollwheel at the thumb for horizontal scrolling
-instant win in any application where you work in a 2D plane
Every Eliminate video makes me happy :3
Making drum patterns advice . Make a empty clip in the drum rack [ after loading your sounds ] then draw your pattern then all you gotta do is drag and drop your clip to the channel your drum rack is on in the arrangement view
Top 10 ableton live trial beats of 2023
That unreleased ID sounds fire
i have live intro and you're able to place audio into the playlist tbh not sure what they mean by audio slicing
Intro edition does allow you to splice audio clips, i do it all the time.
Nates lost looking at Ableton, but im lost in 90% of the technical music lingo 100% of the time. Wish i knew how to make music, but really just come for the bangers and comedy. Was hoping to maybe learn something, and learned that its even harder than i would ever imagine, when an actual producer is lost this badly, just from changing platforms. Thank you Nate for showing me how nearly $400 can sound like when you actually already know how to make music.
Dude. This video is exaggerated to hell and back. Don't get me wrong, Nate hates ableton. But he's putting on an act here. He's not really that lost. He's made his choice long ago not to use ableton. This video is just for views lol he's not really TRYING to switch to Ableton. If he was, he wouldn't have a funny comedy video to make
Nate trying out Ableton is so inspiring.
Love you content dude
"They even got mid in the name" lmao fucking gottem
What do you typically use, if not Ableton?
sending this video to the CEO of Ableton
hell yes, as an Ableton user, this is amazing and I've been waiting for another one since you released the last video
Yoo that ID is so sick
Issues with how nate makes an ableton beat start with the blatant disregard for use of the drum rack.
I have been using both fl studio and Ableton for years now. I prefer Ableton over Fl, it's simple and efficient.
Work flow in Ableton is much smoother than fl.
it is very subjective, it seems like a lot of people just want to have the "mine is betteR" mentality. i have ableton lite, but i havent been able to figure it out yet. hopefully ill be able to get as fluid and dynamic with it as i am with fl studio. i know pretty much everything in fl studio and can do anything in that daw, if i can manage to get that way with other daws, that would be the dream.
*Why was there papel towel at your desk?*
I appreciate you trying Ableton again, thank you sir.
Despite Ableton Lite having only 8 tracks, I feel like I’ve made some really great music. It’s rare that a project of mine ever needs 8 tracks. Hell I make so many different types of music and despite that it’s been fine.
Literally the only issue are drums and adding vocals. For vocals I usually start a new project with them, and for drums - I just use a drum rack. Despite what everyone else does.
I'll never forget FL studio, "ctrl+b for buplicate"
Proud Ableton Live Lite user here (I can only use 8 tracks and I am SOOO happy about that)
you did way better than last time
the new remix of Flatline is super doooope, love ur music Nate!!
flatline remix was amazing
7:31 as an avid ableton user, that is also my reaction to seeing live view XDD
1:30 you're so M O I S T my guy
the scroll function is bad at first yes, but when gotten used to it's actually amazing
ctrl d works in fl too right???
The auto warp immediately caused issues with the kick hahaha
I think what happened was the kick was clipping cause his master was at 0 db
Yeah he changed the BPM and you could visibly see all the waveforms changing as I'm yelling at the screen xD
My master has only ever been at 0 and I don't have clipping@@emdash8944
@@emdash8944 oh yeah. That too.
Can we talk about that ID tho at the end🔥
