Cool episode. I had always written off Live, but clip launching and Acid type looping have made it into lots of DAWs and apps. This is the grandfather.
I was one of those users who couldn't wrap my head around the Ableton Live. I had bought 4 and just didn't;t understand what I was looking at. It took me until version 8 to really "get it", but once you get it, it's actually far more simple to use than pretty much any other DAW out there.
@DyReck Productions. Thank you for making a video about my DAW of choice. Going from Pro Tools 8.0.3 to GarageBand and finally Ableton Live was quite a journey for me.
I've been on Ableton Live for over 15 years. Prior to Live, I used various DAWs such as Cool Edit and Pro Tools. I can honestly say Ableton is one of the best if not, the best in the game.
I'm always curious about people's Ableton workflow. Some people do everything in ''arrangement view'' right away. I'm part of the other team, team ''Session view''... eh eh.. lately, I sequence in Renoise. Best of both worlds.
I didn’t use it until I saw Lord Finesse make a beat with it a few years back. The best audio warping on the planet & it’s not even close. Still waiting on the SP-303 episode to happen🙏🏽
I finally upgraded to Ableton standard recently I have used Ableton lite in the pass i finally dive into the Ableton pool ecosystem lol works grate with mpc live 2 👍🏾🔥👍🏾
@@DyReckProductions using mpc live 2 and the Ableton link together helps me with arrangements using those 2 together I used Lan cable option also just in case you decide to link Ableton to any mpc 👍🏾
I used a cracked version years ago, I think 4, but bought the studio version, biggest software purchase I had ever made at $800. Have not regretted it. However, if Bitwig had step editing I would probably move from Live. Live needs to modernize. The crash-free aspect of BW and speed of starting projects is really a leap forward.
Going from Logic to Ableton was a bit of a head melt at first, but now it’s so easy to lay down sketches and get in a creative flow to later bring it into the arranger to finish it. It’s a great workflow.
Finally some-one says how it is...When Cakewalk introduced the "Matrix View" all the ableton nerds where shouting "They stole it from Ableton". So what...they stole it from the mpc ;-)
I still think Ableton Live is still a confusing DAW after using it for 2-3 months. The learning curve for Ableton Live is huge compared to FL Studio. FL Studio only took a few weeks to feel comfortable using it. No doubt tho Ableton Live is an amazing DAW especially for live use.
If you're coming from FL Studio to Ableton, the moment you understand that a "clip" is the Ableton version of FL's "patterns," the whole thing clicks into place and makes sense. That's literally all it took for me to be able to grasp how session view works and be able to get at it without a tutorial. But before I understood that, it was totally confusing.
LOL this video script is funny. It wasn't cracked because it was too complicated. I went from Reason and Protools to Ableton. It was by far the best thing I have ever done. Once you understand the workflow it makes perfect sense and you are making beats in less than 2 minutes. They still need to work on the piano roll a bit more, but all the recent updates have addressed some of the short comings that people have complained about over the years. It is a solid DAW and the time-stretch is on par with Akai's time stretch if not better, both are showing signs of aging and need to be updated with more modern features.
I Currently Use Ableton Live 10 Standard, Because I Mainly Produce Various Tyes Of Electronic Music Such As Synth-Pop, House And Trance Music, Breakbeat, Dubstep, Tropical House, Minimal Techno, Progressive House And Progressive Trance, PSY Trance, Acid House, And Trip Hop, And I'm Currently Working on A New Trance Song.
I think Gerald listen on this time David Hasselhoff with: "I be lookin' for freedom". Ok...the swedish Popband ABBA was big in whole Europe at this time....
You totally missed the biggest advertising for Ableton, that made it over night famous with ALL the DJs and Club Producer in Germany: The Movie ""Berlin Calling" with the Artist "Paul Kalkbrenner2 who plays a Techno DJ, totally on Drugs that has to check in to a rehab and, in Rehab" he produces his "best Album ever" with Ableton live. This movie was nothing else than a 90 minutes Advertising for Ableton, tarned as a Flik, so that they can finance this with german culture Funds...but "shhh" its just a rumor... ;-)
By the way you mentioned how affordable Ableton Live was at first... yeah, not anymore ... $599 for Ableton Live and another $$ for Push bringing the cost of entry up to $1000 for both or even $1200 for the full software and hardware. I stopped using Ableton because when going to a difficult time I couldn't afford to get the paid upgrade.
Yes, but it's worth the money. You don't need to use it with a Push controller. It's compatible with practically every third party midi controller. Standard is a bit cheaper than Suite and there's not a huge difference in features. I just updated from 10 to 11 and it only cost me $125. Not too expensive. Lastly, the software is extremely intutive for any type of producer, remixer, engineers, performers, and even DJs. At the end of the day, use whatever DAW works for you, but I will always be team Ableton.
ableton is for the people who are elite in music production on a computer , and if you don’t understand or think it’s confusing , you are not an elite musician , programmer/sequencer in a computer … simple as that …
lol when I tried FL studio my experience in Abelton made it hard to understand, but since my knowledge of abelton has increased I believe I can make music on any Daw or Hardware for that matter with enough time. Its all basically the same thing once you get the hang of it.
Ableton is a sample mangling beast. Just upgraded to suite. Great series bro, highly entertaining.
Thanks fam!

Yes sir!..Thanks bro!

Oh ok cool...Im still wrapping my head around all the features and where everything is located Lol.

No doubt bro!..Ableton does take some getting use to..But when you get to know it its all good!
The one I was waiting for.... respect
Yes sir thanks fam!.

Great video, always waiting for these!
Another perfect video, man. Always on point!
Thanks bro..Really appreciate it!
Love this man! Very inspiring and hilarious! Keep your head up and keep doing what you do!
Thanks bro!
yeah me too, i've been a fan since day one... "this is direk aka native shades remindin' you to like.... and subcriiiiibe..." haha!
@@baddriddimworkshop Lol!! Thanks bro!

Going from Ableton to Logic to Traction to Machine to SeratoStudio was a bit of a journey but yeah, I've finally found flow state while making music.
Nice..Alot of folks love SeratoStudio.
I didn’t use it until I saw Lord Finesse make a beat with it a few years back. The best audio warping on the planet & it’s not even close. Still waiting on the SP-303 episode to happen🙏🏽
No doubt That SP 303 is in the works Lol!..Acid pro has a pretty cool warping algorithm too..But Magix still had some ways to go with that daw.
I've used Live since vs 6. It is incredibly easy and fast to get your ideas down. The clip launch feature is so powerful.
Yup..Its a very powerful DAW.
Oh wow I thought I was a rather early user of live … version 7 … back when the “Berlin Calling” movie was promoted by Ableton
I finally upgraded to Ableton standard recently I have used Ableton lite in the pass i finally dive into the Ableton pool ecosystem lol works grate with mpc live 2 👍🏾🔥👍🏾
I feel you..Im about to download standard.

Yup same here.
Comparing FL Studio to anything?.........no comment
I’m the opposite… I just can’t get with FL Studio but Ableton live was easy
nothing confusing about ableton, perhaps you had a poor foundation
It’s a fun learn man it’s always evolving
Ableton walked so that Bitwig could run 🏃🏽♂️
Lol Pretty much!

LimeWire.. Lol.. I haven’t heard that one in awhile!

Yeah your right that movie set it off for Ableton as the DJ's Daw...I remember watching a special on it years ago.
By the way you mentioned how affordable Ableton Live was at first... yeah, not anymore ... $599 for Ableton Live and another $$ for Push bringing the cost of entry up to $1000 for both or even $1200 for the full software and hardware.

Dang!..Im not gonna lie Ableton is expensive Lol!

That just goes to show you how much people are sheep out here.
Lol!
Funny BUT good
Thanks bro!
The best production Daw.
It definitely up there..And it has a great community.
My fav DAW, it’s just ugly asf, If it weren’t for push I would’ve stopped using a while ago.
Yeah alot of folks complain about the design..But the Ableton guys like it cause its different and stands out.
Fl studio doesn't make since nomo ableton was easier to learn
Ableton took a min for me to get Lol..But I feel you.
