Very very informative as a newbie to this Daw. Well done and one of the better if not the best so far for me to get the basic feel of this from the start . Right on
Transitioning from Logic to Ableton now for psytrance production. Such a good tutorial - very helpful to get all the basics down in order to work around the DAW with ease. Thank you!
Hey, I have spent some millions of hours watching "explanatory" videos about Ableton but at the end of it, I got more and more confused than mastering the process. Your video is a real gold because it is precise, thorough and detailed. Great job, lad. You are the only one that gives full explanations of everything a beginner should know.
Hands down the best beginner tutorial for Ableton on TH-cam. Much respect to the creator of this video. It just got you a new Subscriber ✌️❤️🎵 DJ Simply Nice
You’re the only person that’s explained it well enough to follow! So.. I’ve mastered this video.. what’s the best video of yours to watch after this one mate? Thanks so much 🙏🏽 😁
This is a great question @EdmProd, you might want to give a more thorough answer here This video was the first one that popped up when I searched for Ableton, and I have the exact same question
29:29 "and with house we have our open HAT, I'm going to insert a new audio TRACK and DRAG an open HAT, open HAT let's just search for THAT" wow holy shit these rhymes
Lost me at 1:30 since my install doesn't have that little search box under the "help" menu! In fact, I know I have "Ableton Live 11 Suite" installed but it doesn't even look like what this guy is using! :(
An excellent tutorial very clear, step by step and really accessible, huge compliments! It was the first time I learn how to use a DAW and your tutorial was perfect.
I have just changed from fl studio to ableton live 11 and I have watched a bunch of videos about the programe but that video vas the only one wich helped me. Thank you very much and congrats for the 40k.👍👍
Lets see, a 40:00 minute video to explain Ableton, and yet a user friendly, easy to understand, and use DAW with little to know on how to start recording. I'm going with :Mixcraft 10" better loops, less learning curve and far easier to use right out of the gate.
For someone new to working in a DAW, should I go for Bitwig Studio 4.3 or Ableton Live 11 Standard. Will mainly focus on the following genres: (Afro House, Tech House, Latin/Brazilian) As far as the learning curve is concerned, I'm on the fence and would appreciate feedback from the community .
You have a gift for teaching! I find it very discouraging wading through the muck of online tutorials to find information I can use. Your entire video, from start to finish is filled with useful information taught in a way that a 12 year old could understand and a 50 year old would appreciate. Thanks!!
So far this is a good ass tutorial... but I had to stop and just say my guy, you have a folder you added in places that is called "JIZZ SAMPLE PACK" and I just need that to be known
Just shifted from fl studio to ableton I was finding it hard to get use to ableton and found you video. Now every thing is crystal clear ❣️ thankyou so much love from india 🇮🇳 ❤️
thank you so much for the intro into ableton I have only very used GarageBand but getting new aurturia keyboard l thought l would vive this a ago all the best Allan stoke on Trent UK
I noticed that Ableton live 11 lite is not nearly as powerful. For example I had trouble dragging in something simple like drums. So essentially they made sure that this software that was provided with my hardware is essentially useless. The sad part is I actually spend a lot of money on FL studio only to learn that they disable functions on it as well.
You are speaking to beginners. Why would you show us how to fade an audio track before we even know how to make a second track? I was right with you until about the 10 minutes mark.
I'm kinda lost but i'm getting there. I'll try to motivate myself to learn all the complex tNice tutorialngs on tNice tutorials program and make so soft i'd like.
the video is great! i have just one more question. My drums or my melody also gets warped, but i cant chance it. can u pleaaaase help me i'm kinda stuck
I hate Ableton it’s the worst Daw out there it’s made for sample heads and is of no use for real musicians. Totally pointless and a waste of time and money.
Fantastic video that covers some of the important basics many others fly through or skip entirely. I've always found it funny you can have multiple "solo" tracks.
How come you have some samples that I don't see in when I search for it? Does the sample section in the browser search your entire collection? Is there a folder to add to?
Awesome video thank you for this, very helpful in starting out in the world of DAW’S, particularly Ableton…going from a DJ to trying to understand the DAW capabilities to further my skill and dip into the music creating/production technical side of music has been a goal of mine for some time now, but learning the DAW’S has been quite confusing and overwhelming, and I always just find myself staying with my mixdeck to create my own samples, loops, mixes, mashups and overall music manipulation without even attempting to do it in a DAW…this video has really helped me understand the basics and general capabilities that a DAW can offer to up my game and take my creativity to the next level..looking forward to watching more of your videos, much respect and appreciation!!
Excellent video. Thank you. I have one problem with my Ableton Live 11. using Windows 10. Hello, thank you for making many tutorial videos. I am learning the Ableton 11 Intro using your video. I have one problem using Ableton Live 11 Intro. I do not see top two lines in arrangement view: 1) Ableton Folder -xxxx 2) FILE EDIT CREATE VIEW OPTIONS HELP. I do not how it happened. Pls. advise how to reset the screen to view the above settings. Thank you. If you wish, I can call you. I am in the USA.
Loved this tutorial. Simple, detailed enough and got me started on making my loops and feeling comfortable now to take it up a notch. Going to binge all your videos. Keep up the good work!! Currently a DJ who is getting into Producing and these tutorials are making things way easier to understand.
I lost something. If i remember well, i had a piano-keyboard in the box beside the info box. After removing and re-installing ableton live 11, i don’t have the piano-keyboard anymore. I would love to get it back, but, how? I don’t know what i did to get it there, so i don’t know how to get it back. I don’t mean the vertical keyboard, but a horizontal keyboard beside the info-box. Any advice would be appreciated
To much information at once but good to reference for later. We just need the basics to record our midi keyboard. Lay down some tracks and add some vocals before we loop anything. We are song writers so will probably only need drum loops and will write the rest. Thanks young man.
This was really helpful. I used to make music in the 90's with DOS based trackers. I never counted those eJay type softwares as real music tools (where you just pile already-made melodies etc in a pile&row). Way too automated. Anyway, this summer got this inspiration to start again and boy, was i in for a shock when i realized how the softwares had moved on. Got myself a push2 and live suite 11, but i've struggled to get started. Also it seems live11 is "manual enough" for me to count this as a proper tool, if you know what i mean. This video helped a lot. Thank you.
Thanks, really good and helpful tutorial! I'm learning some Ableton Live after having used Logic for many years. I looked through quite a few tutorials here on TH-cam and your's seems to be the best.
umaigad! so many things to learn, i didn't even know where to start. your video helped me come to grips with the basics. still got a looong way to go is an understatement but...learning's life. thanks a bunch. haven't even finished this video yet so... be checking on your other videos after this one.
Wow man. Your pronunciation of the words is so nice. Im not from the english speaking country and I understood each word and all material. Thank u so much for this video
I would just like to say i had a free 3 month of Alberton and your lesson has taught me more in 40 mins than 3 months of trying to work it out with the manual :)
Your technique to communicate and articulate and demonstrate is the most effective Ive seen. Thank you. My ableton 11.2 and push 2 arrive tomorrow. Ive done the 90 day trial and commissioned someone to teach me for a few days and I was left feeling overwhelmed. I wish I had found your video sooner. However, Im on round 2 of learning and creating with ableton. Thank you for your method of teaching and communicating.
None of these Ableton courses are telling me about bars length and how to lock in without one stopping and the other one keeps playing SMH - I'll stick with my mpc I love the sequence there

Outstanding! One of the best tutorials yet for Ableton Live 11! Really appreciate how you de-mystified this cryptic DAW for us.

I can’t tell you how many videos I’ve watched on the function of ableton. This is by far the best beginner one. Thank you!
29:29 "and with house we have our open HAT, I'm going to insert a new audio TRACK and DRAG an open HAT, open HAT let's just search for THAT" wow holy shit these rhymes

Thanks so much! Long time Cubase user but it doesn't like to play nice with OBS, so far I love this and can see why most EDM artists use Ableton.
where has first page gone[it had how to record guitar]!!
You're a wonderful instructor. I learned so much, thank you!
Good video commenting for algorithm
Thank you. I have been a musician all my life (piano). Now trying to learn this to enhance my music videos.
There is one sample pack round the 11:16 mark that totally made my day!
An excellent tutorial very clear, step by step and really accessible, huge compliments! It was the first time I learn how to use a DAW and your tutorial was perfect.
Thank you so much for starting with arrangement view.
Very educative. I'm really helped by this lecture video. More Grace Bro

THANK YOU!!!! you actually guide your viewers through soft, unlike so videos that rush the whole tNice tutorialng or talk too fast.
Absolutely brilliant. Clear very useful. You're ma man dude (session speak) :) 💕
Super well done! My second tutorial video and just what I needed to show me how and peak my curiosity! Thank you!

Such a comprehensive video, so easy to follow. Thanks so much!
Not enough people in these comments are talking about his "JIZZ SAMPLE PACK," located at 11:19.. other than that, fantastic video.
You have a gift for teaching! I find it very discouraging wading through the muck of online tutorials to find information I can use. Your entire video, from start to finish is filled with useful information taught in a way that a 12 year old could understand and a 50 year old would appreciate. Thanks!!

Moving to Ableton (at least to try) and i find this tutorial very very 👍 thanks to the author of the channel 🎉
I noticed that Ableton live 11 lite is not nearly as powerful. For example I had trouble dragging in something simple like drums. So essentially they made sure that this software that was provided with my hardware is essentially useless.

i'm an acid head. magix, former sony acid head. also vegas. i'm trying hard to transition over to ableton
I'm kinda lost but i'm getting there. I'll try to motivate myself to learn all the complex tNice tutorialngs on tNice tutorials program and make so soft i'd like.
the video is great! i have just one more question. My drums or my melody also gets warped, but i cant chance it. can u pleaaaase help me i'm kinda stuck
I appreciate what you're doing. Keep up the great content homie
THIS was SOOOO helpful !! increddddd thank you so much
Thanks for the video, you’ve made me feel even better about choosing FL Studio 😂
Do you have a TH-cam video on how to start a podcast with music on Ableton 11 for beginners step by step
every time I try to drag a sound it doesn't sound the same like it'll just sound so bad and it wont dragging it into the session. Help
Tysm! I just don't get to see any sound (13.33 in red) if I drag a sample? I tried an .adg file
I hate Ableton it’s the worst Daw out there it’s made for sample heads and is of no use for real musicians. Totally pointless and a waste of time and money.
no hate this is so helpful, but everyone at 16:21 he is saying "click R" not "click Aah"
This took me a few listens to figure it out
Exactly what I needed. Thanks.
I loved it until you used your own sample! I wish you showed us how to use something from ableton itself. Sigh!
Fantastic video that covers some of the important basics many others fly through or skip entirely. I've always found it funny you can have multiple "solo" tracks.
Glad it was helpful!
First one to show us this bar ! How it actually works. So many selfie like who cant teach,So thanks a lot 👍👍
How come you have some samples that I don't see in when I search for it? Does the sample section in the browser search your entire collection? Is there a folder to add to?

I understand everything except one thing. Why they call this music?
Thank you for this video, i felt kinda lost in Ableton as a new user, you made everything easy to understand!
Love this video! how did you get the EQ to load up on your drum loop? Mine disappeared :/ See 24:00
Fantastic!
OMG, it really worked. Thank you so much!!
Hahaha. There was a "JIZZ sample pack"
Haha yes, this is the actual artist name of a Mexican based music producer
He made it look so easy, and I know it’s not 😭😭 Superb video
Great stuff thanks
11:45 When i do this no audio file appears on the empty space. only that the audio track changed name to the audio i dragged and dropped
5+ years FL user here trying to make the switch to Ableton :D
Do you think it’s okay to record hardware drums as a single stem into abelton ?
Fantastic tutorial mate. No one explains shit better than Aussies. Well done. I'm already searching for your next one. Thumbs up + SUB!!
Glad you enjoyed my friend! :)
Excellent video for a beginner like me. I will watch again!

This really helped me , Thankyou🤝🏽🔥
So far the best explanation. Zooming and talking to the subject. Well done 👍

This is a tutorial that is meant to cover all of the basics of the DAW. What it sounds like you’re looking for is a tutorial on recording MIDI.

Yep! Well nowadays there is a lot of automation, but only as much as you want to use... Glad you're finding these useful :)
After weeks of watching how to Ableton, you have clicked it into place on your first vid. Thanks man, wishing you continued success.
Thanks, really good and helpful tutorial! I'm learning some Ableton Live after having used Logic for many years. I looked through quite a few tutorials here on TH-cam and your's seems to be the best.
I got 83 days left on my trial, my eyes started bleeding as I tried learning from Ableton "Help" tutorial. Thank you for this!

When dragging a drum loop into te arrangement view , I can't see it the same way you have it in the video. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong
