Your format and teaching style is fantastic mate. Perfect amount of detail and conveyed really well. That's a skill on its own. Having a single series to work through for beginner stuff without jumping from random video to video is a godsend. Good stuff. I'm up to #6 so far, keep 'em rolling!
Finally someone who explains calmly, efficiently, clearly... And you don't show off. Really good, thank you! ------ Terminology wasn't always explained, but MIDI stands for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface", and, CC stands for "Continuous Controller" ;)
Hello there, just wanted to say thank you for putting these out. I am just getting started with Ableton Live. Watching your beginner series really helped make the whole process less intimidating to get going with music. Please continue to make more of these. I really like your explanation approach!
Literally these videos have been a life saver!! I haven't been able to map my MIDI and have been just doing it manually and now it makes so much more sense. Thank you!
Ive been messing around with ableton for a couple years but these tutorials you made are refreshing and useful. I really wish I had these when I started out !
Best beginners video by far. Most I've come across start with crazy presets which I don't know how to mimic. This was great for opening Ableton in default. I learned a ton. Thank you so much!
You are one of my most important Ableton "teachers", meaning I prob. learnt more about Ableton from you, than from any other single person. Thank You Thaetro!
I’ve been following along these videos for a few weeks and was able to jump into Ableton so easily right off the bat. You’ve made something so daunting seem so simple I really appreciate that!
You cannot imagine how useful this video (and the whole series) was!!! Before it, it was impossible for people (like me) analogic to a 100%. You made it possible what I’d been considered out of my understanding. Thanks a lot!!!
I hope ypu talk about fixing the latency by turning down your bit sample size! In the past midi controller vids I don't think I've heard you mention it. Love you taetro. You've brought me so far within the last year man.
I don't even have one of these and still watch your videos I even watch your music theory videos and apply it to my guitar instead because I've found no one that explains these things as well as you. You're doing a great job for the community so thank you
This series is helping me loads! You are basically my online teacher helping me with Ableton Live, the Akai MPK Mini MK3, and music production in general. It's all very complicated if you don't know where to start, but your videos are the best start I can imagine! Thank you so much!
I've been learning how to compose and produce my own songs within Ableton and your videos have been very helpful. It's made music making less stressful and more fun. As it should be.
Starting out with this gear is a bit like falling into the middle of the ocean. Thanks Taetro for providing hope, and direction. I can't see the shore yet but I'm not drowning anymore.
Thanks Taetro! I feel really fortunate after struggling with Live for a few months that I found your channel. Your Ableton series is clear, thorough, and well-paced. With each topic so far I've found myself going on long tagents, often to the point of completing projects which were in limbo until I understood the tools to realize that particular vision. I've also enjoyed a few of your product reviews. Right now I'm mapping my Arturia Minilab MKII, and thinking about a UHOST to go BLE. You do great work, so thanks again!
Your videos are helping me to finally start producing and record the music I have always liked! Your teaching format has kept me in this series, hope you keep making similar videos!
Thanks for producing very useful and beginner-friendly videos.. ~ as an 'old-school' SY85 / CoolEdit type chap I've found Ableton / Launchkey 49 a maze of confusion when all I want to do is switch on and make music.. !
Man I just got the Mk3 white with black keys. I'm absolutely loving it! I just learned about the midi mapping before this video got uploaded. I use ableton as well and your videos have been really helpful for me recently. Thank you so much for the amazing content!
Dude!!!!! Thank you so much for this! I have an M Audio Oxygen Pro midi, and I've been struggling to figure out all these controls. So thank you so much for explaining all of this! It's making a huge difference
TAETRO you are a excellent teacher man I appeciate how you take time to make sure that the things you are teaching are commpletly understood thanks great work.
this was genuinely the most helpful video i could find thank you so much! i could not for the life of me figure out why the knobs weren't knobing Thanks!!!
Just so happened to be looking for one thing and this man saved my life in multiple ways😭✨kinda gave me recording inspiration with the lil examples you used as well💚🔥
Dude this is so helpful. Your videos have made me improve in ableton so quickly vs trying to figure it out on my own. Thank you for making this playlist of vids to figure this complex program out
Do you have a video for Arturia MiniLab 3? Have no problem with ML3 but first time experience with Ableton Live and it seems totally confusing to me as a DAW. Thank u for your wonderful channel.
Hope you make videos about Push 2.. you are the best teacher I have ever listened about Ableton live...Thanks a lot for sharing all these knowledge that you gathered by your experience... means a lot...
Have been watching your videos and they’ve been helping out a ton so thank you. I just got my Novation Launchkey mk3 yesterday so I’m literally binging your videos on it to get it up and running lol thanks bruh
A bit late aboput the mpk set up for ableton, but the comunity helped me. All your videos had helped me otherwise i wouldnt had jump on music. Even if im not present like before cause life stuff but thanks for your series. Some of this makes me think I should had got a novation or something similar instead of my mpk XD
great video, super helpful, I have a different midi controller than the ones mentioned but it was still exactly what I wanted to learn and havent been able to find until now, enjoying and learning a lot from the whole series, please keep going
ปีที่แล้ว
Great video, finally figured out how to control effect with my launchkey. Thanks man
love the way you play the keys and the effects you have on them. how did you learn how to play? where can i find the tutorials please? i want to play like you
This was needed for 2022!!! I just started back learning AL your videos definitely help!!! I did my first remake last week and original yesterday!!! Today I’m going to work on setting up for live up performances!!! Thanks 🙏🏾
19:00 If you selected remote and your midi mappings still weren't working, see if your device has a 'DAW' input/output and add that in addition to the regular midi input/output.
So good. I’m so new and your videos are the best. When I follow this, the sound only comes out the pads and not keys, anyone know why this is, probably need to back track tutorials. 😅
Thank you so much for this series, you have a natural talent for teaching/explaining. Keep up the awesome work. I saw in another comment that you're working on the next video in the series. Do you have a rough estimate on how many vids are there gonna be in total for the series? Thanks!
I have an Arturia Keylab Essential 88. I can get the keys to work just fine in Ableton. The knobs sort of work but they are extremely wonky. I have to turn the knobs counter-clockwise to increase values, and when I turn the knobs clockwise, the value jumps straight to zero (even with the slightest turn of the knob). Also, the DAW command center doesn't work for navigating Ableton at all, and some of the buttons just give me more key tones. I'm pretty sure I've tried every combination of Ableton's preferences, but the above description seems to be the best I can get. Just played with it some more and now I can get the command center to work fine (can navigate the tracks and clips), and the knobs are working smoothly but are only linked to the panning of each track. And now my keys aren't working and I'm not getting the orange light for MIDI input anymore. No matter what I can't seem to get everything to work at the same time. Please send help lol. BTW I'm new to both MIDI controllers and Ableton.
In the time I have invested in studying AL11, I could have written, recorded and mastered a dozen songs in GB. First and second impressions are that AL is needlessly convoluted. I am invested though, and am really hopeful the investment pays off.
Very good video, thanks for that. However I miss how to change instrument from the keyboard. In your video you had an piano on track 2, what if i load a base on track 1. How can i from the keyboard change instrument?
Lovely video as always.. I got the launchkey, but i think you or Sanjay or someone had said it in some video, that we won't be using the knobs as much as we think we will.. and now i realise its true.. I don't particularly enjoy controlling volume with it.. The devices sometimes.. but certainly not as much as i thought i would.. gotta change it to pickup mode though, maybe then I'd enjoy it more.. one small nitpicky gripe i have which might get solved with the pickup mode is that when I am hitting the 1st row 1st pad, my finger accidentally touches the 1st knob and messes the volume of the track.. Also i wish there was a way to change defaults on it.. like i would rather have it defaulted to devices or even custom rather than on volume.. and the pads on drum mode rather than session mode.. hopefully with an update..
Great series buddy! Digging it till now. Had a question - I did the midi mapping of reverb auto filter and delay like in the video, and works well with the selected track, but when i change the selected track to track 2 , the nobs were changing the device with the hand sign on, so i re mapped the nobs to other options for the new selected track, but now the same nob is changing the praramenter assigned to it for track 1 and as well as track 2.
Hi TAETRO, first, thank you so much for the video. Second, I am seriously want to learn how to use Ableton Live with the MPK mini. So, would you consider offering a one-on-one tutoring (not free tutoring)? I am about to purchase Ableton Live Standard but still still hesitate because I am an absolute dummy when come to digital music. I live in California, I play guitar (kinda intermediate), I have little experience with Audacity (very little), and I have some knowledge about music theory. What I want (for now) is to record my guitar and vocal then add a few instruments to it. I also want to add some effect to the vocal so it can sound half decent. Please let me know if you consider it. Thank you in advance.
I love this series and I really want to buy the Launchkey too. But the 37 keys version. :) You said in your video that you have a separate tutorial, where you show all the Launchkey features in Ableton. Could you please give us the link? There are so many Launchkey videos on your channel that I'm absolutly unsure which one's the right one. Thank you very much!
Hi , as always this is a real pleasure to learn throught your complet and clear explained video ty so much about that :) I ll continue to follow , learn and re watch your explain on your channel i wish you all the best and a great week (beg my pardon for my english am frog guy sooo 🤷🤦 hihihi) Enjoy art and creation , take care 🙏

Ableton Live is not my DAW of choice but I always find value in your tutorials. Thanks for all that you do. Much appreciated! 🙏🏾

Your series has literally saved my dying dream to learn music production. I'm so thankful. I immediately subscribed ❤

That’s true! I should have mentioned it here :)

I spent years not knowing what the CC button on the MPK Mini MK2 can do. Thanks for another amazing lesson!
No cap im 5 mins in and ive caught on so fast thanks for the exact wording on what needs to be done saving me an Advil
Your videos are helping me to finally start producing and record the music I have always liked! Your teaching format has kept me in this series, hope you keep making similar videos!
As a creative person you have officially blown my mind!

Thanks for the great video TAETRO!
FANTASTIC EXPLANATION! THANK U
9:28 “We’ll call it jazz” 😂 … this is super helpful tho! Thx!! 🙏
this has helped for sure thank you so much!
In the time I have invested in studying AL11, I could have written, recorded and mastered a dozen songs in GB. First and second impressions are that AL is needlessly convoluted. I am invested though, and am really hopeful the investment pays off.
Depends on which software you are used to, for me, it was the exact opposite
@HRTDEMON666 lol almost like ableton is needlessly complicated. Thanks for condescending though.
@@marcbehm4747Almost like everybody has their own experiences and there's no need to be an ass about it 😱
Thank you so much I love your teaching technique
great video (= you are amazing talking about the ablenton and the midi controllers.
Very good video, thanks for that. However I miss how to change instrument from the keyboard. In your video you had an piano on track 2, what if i load a base on track 1. How can i from the keyboard change instrument?
