This actually made sense. You're far more organic than all the others who sound like zombies just repeating the manual as if they're in love with the program itself more than actually making any music.
Getting my hands dirty in Ableton again and I cannot tell you how many tutorials are just "yeah session view is rough, but you will get used to it once you learn" but you came right out of the gate with "fuck that shit turn it off and never look back" 😂
@@jerrymuia5430 I use both different vibes in each program and sometimes beat block and be cured by simply switching to another daw just like finding a new sound definitely worth learning
been on ableton for 6 years and just got my wrist tat. laughed so hard when you said that. then laughed even harder when you called people who use sequence view psychopaths. couldn't agree more😂 instantly liked and subbed
Hi, I'm an older composer and I had to dump my museum quality equipment because my brother got me a new recording/composing gig. I have been literally crying over the new stuff - the old equipment was more user friendly. But your video got me back on track! Buddha bless you my friend! Keep making videos and I will keep watching, I have so much to learn - but at least can get a beat with a melody out now! Namaste!
i bought ableton a couple years ago but i've been avoiding using it bc it seemed too complicated but you explained all the shortcuts really nicely. i'm gonna try it out
@@cesruhf2605 depends on what version you buy... i got whatever the cheapest one was at the time lol i still don't ever use it tho. i'm too used to reason to change
@@mixremusic yeah i feel like if i wasn't so used to Reason it would be easier for me but the hotkeys and shortcuts are so different from what i'm used to that it feels like trying to learn another language lol but tbh i need to just sit down and force myself to learn it
I work in Studio One and am trying out Ableton and this is by far one of the most concise and informative general Ableton tutorial on TH-cam. Huge help man, thanks!
My brother. I started my music career in production and then moved to recording and mixing. I’m jumping back into ableton and I’ve forgotten everything that I used to know. And you’ve just given me more inspiration to get back into the ableton game. ! Thank you bro
hey mai, new ableton user here. I just switched and everything has been fine so far, but ive had this sudden interest in men nowadays... like i really like boys now, is this common in ableton users?
nah must just be a personal problem. but no worries bro, its 2021, we dont care what your preference is buddy, in fact im proud of you for finally being honest with yourself and sharing a secret that all of us were already aware of anyways. that takes courage so good job!.....gayboy :) #youaintgottalietokickit #itsOkayThatYouLikeFL #FruityLovers #F**Lyfe #YouWereBornThatWay #GayIsOkay #AbletonStraightAllDay #CowboyButtsDrivesFLusersNuts!! #FLGBT lmao!

ABLETON JUST SAVES STUFF WITHOUT RECORDING IF YOU LET IT?????? That's awesome! This is going to be the third time I try Ableton, and this video has simplified what I was trying to find every previous time I've done the trial run. Thanks for the help
Dude , after banging around in Ableton for 3 days I found this video. I was able to make my 1st decent Track today. I love your approach to the whole process and will be watching all your video's
This video was exactly what I needed! I've been using FL for around 6 years and just started getting into DnB and wanted to learn Ableton. I felt like I was at square one again when I opened it up, just totally lost on how to do everything. But so many of these beginner videos aren't for people new to Ableton, they're for people new to music. Soooo dumbed down and explaining stupid things like what bpm is or what a measure is. I just needed to know some useful shortcuts and generally how things work in Ableton and this video got me setup to finish a beat in like an hour after never using Ableton before. Cheers man, this shit rocked
I have been going back and forth on what daw I want to learn either logic or Abelton and I think this video sold it for me thanks for being thorough learned some crazy tips appreciate it.
the session view is very useful for quickly jotting down beats and ideas, but especially for live performance if youre into that kinda thing. after you get the basics down definitely look for another tutorial that discusses the session view. session view is the reason the program is called ableton "live" lmao.
How do I thumbs up this more. Session view is my go-to for constructing something that can be played live. Being called a psychopath for using it was not appreciated.
currently in the process too. i love FL to DEATH i've been using it since 2016 making great stuff on it, but i wanna try the Ableton way just to test out the workflow and the features it has vs FL
thinking to switch in Ableton from FL cause I wanna learn making Mid Tempo and Dubstep but the tutorials are not available on FL mostly so that's why xD but still will use FL cause it is the first love lol
Bro I just want to say thank you so much for this I’ve had ableton for at least two months and watched so many videos but you just explained it so easily for me to where I can actually make a song now so for that thank you so much.🙌🏽
Bro , I'm a rookie with ableton an they way you explained it ,is probably the best video Iv watched , if not years of knowledge in a 13min video , thank you very much sir
This Video makes me mad, it wasn't there earlier for me. Most of the stuff, took me ages to find out and back when I learned ableton, there where only weird tutorials on yt. So nice vid🤙🏾
bro you seriously ace this stuff, i really get anoyyed of the people that say " the second view is tough you'll learn it some day " yeah you better get that outa here right now cuz this dude is BOMB! 💣💣
CONTROL+LSHIFT+M .. This is what I needed! And I know that I'm not the biggest idiot in the world because you said that you wish somebody told you ... THANK YOU
you are so amazing. this tutorial has helped me progress in 2 days. I am brand new to any type of daw / keyboard mini and this video alone has helped to level me up at least 1 or 2% each day. you're the best💐
this is an older video but i bought my novation mini yesterday to kinda commit to getting into music. ableton was so discouraging opening it up the first time and i couldnt find any good videos on using it till this one. such a good full walkthrough!!! thank you!!!!!
Thanks for actually making this entertaining. It was actually fun listening to you talk about this which is hard to find in ableton tutorials. Great job.
This has been the best tutorial on ableton ive seen for getting started. You dont know how many tutorials ive tried to find just for yours in like the first 2 mins say its fucking TAB on what I was trying to find
I've been using FL for a minute and I picked up Ableton a few weeks ago and the way it's looking, once I get the hang of it i might low key be using Ableton more often
Dude, this was so good lol. That's a great way to do a tutorial thanks so much. I just wasn't expecting it to teach me that much just be making a loop. But it did lmao.
@@prodbymai it’s my first day playing with samples, this video really gave me the inspiration. Thanks Mai. I’m not skilled enough to make my own yet but I’m on my way
This. RIGHT. HERE! I have been getting used to Ableton for about a week and absolutely HATING it.... this is the first time seeing the "arrangement" vs "sequence" mode and now that you showed me that I already like it at least 10 times better. The rest of the video is great too! Thank you so much for this. It has helped a lot. New lifetime subscriber, my dude.
Yes, if your used to other more conventional DAWs..then yes Ableton seems a little odd, but actually its pretty good once you get used to it..try to avoid videos like this tho, where the host is a tryhard attempting to act all "Dope" ..TBH its embarrassing..look for more Adult lead videos .
@@RobBob555 Yea I am diggin Ableton now. As for the video - I appreciate the knowledge he laid down regardless of how it was laid down but I totally understand if its not your style of video.
Trying to make the cut off of FL Studio to Ableton after finding out my new keyboard would take ages to remap. Thanks for having the best video Ive seen so far on how to use stuff in there.
Thank you! Been trying to switch to Ableton. I've been using FLstudio and Maschine. This is basically both of those DAWs together in one. Great tutorial.
literally just found out about ableton and going down a rabbit hole on it, this video actually left me with a better understanding of the software, keep it up 👍
Ever since I left FL Studio during my Omais Era (around the beginning of 2022), I started looking into other DAWs like Logic, Ableton Live, and even Studio One. As of right now I currently use Logic Pro, but I am currently thinking about switching to Ableton Live in the future. If I like it, chances are I may end up switching to it by Spring 2023.
Best tutorial I’ve come across and I can actually see the writing thank you. I have Casio piano I didn’t register. I can’t get it to sync with live 11.
could you make a video on volume leveling? the first difference I found going from FL to Ableton. for example the kick hits hard but does not fit into the master, and if I turn it down, it loses a bit of its nastiness and plays less hard

This actually made sense. You're far more organic than all the others who sound like zombies just repeating the manual as if they're in love with the program itself more than actually making any music.
fr they follow all the "rules" of making music except the biggest one which is that there is no rules.
Ableton is the bumblebee of DAW's while he isn't the main character, he is often the favorite character.
I'm talking bout transformers for anyone that's confused lol
whos the main character??

I’m with this analogy. I’ve been with Optimus for a minute, but I’m starting to train with Bee rn. 😂
not gonna lie bumblebee is better imo anyway movie wise and daw wise
