@pbasswil 3 жыл бұрын

I think the first thing that should be explained is the vertical and horizontal nature of Session and Arrangement view. Most people - even newbies - have seen a physical mixing board, and grasp that its input channels are organized in vertical strips. Likewise, most people have seen _some_ kind of sequencer program before, maybe Garageband or their friends' DAW(s) - and in them, the signals (and music) flow horizontally. So those two experiences need to be compared to Session & Arrangement, from the get-go. Like: Each Session view column is a vertical strip that funnels one sound source (like a mixer), and the same goes for one corresponding Arrangement horizontal row. And then an explanation of what these two contrasting views are good for. Once the newbie grasps this, only _then_ all the peripheral interface stuff can be added on - Browser, Control Bar, Device View, loading files etc. In this vid, adding samples to clip slots is demoed, before the viewer even knows what the Session View slots are for, or how they relate to anything else. Sorry, I don't mean to sound negative; but very few experienced users remember how boggling it was, before they had a clue what Live was even about. The newbie desperately needs the most basic concepts, before they can benefit from lists of other interface elements. In each View, where does the sound _come_ from? Where does it _go?_ And why is that View's signal flow useful?

As a dude who has only been learning ableton for a couple of months I gotta say you’re 100% correct on this, it took so long to understand how the different views had different benefits and that was a big building block for me.

@pbasswil 2 жыл бұрын

@@ec2978 Thanks for your confirmation, it jibes with how I felt a few years ago. There should be college courses in how to write instructions, manuals, & tutorials, in which the first month focuses on 'Establish the tree trunk before you add branches.' :^> Isn't it easy for _any of us_ to feel like a complete moron, boggled by endless factoids coming at us - when we have no fundamental concepts to hang them from?! Cheers.

@@pbasswil As a potential user having a first look at the Ableton Live 11 Lite, I think this tutorial was very confusing. As confusing as running the program the first time on my computer tonight. So nice to see that my first impression was correct and now I just need to give this time an start with something in order to get to know the interface better. And maybe watch another 3 or 4 tutorials 🙂

@pbasswil 2 жыл бұрын

@@patsonmusic Live is an enigma: On one hand, it's very streamlined - in some aspects it's even a bit feature-poor, in an effort to keep things clean and simple. For instance, there aren't endless, nested menus to get lost in - amen. Yet it is _not_ simple; nor is it particularly intuitive. The only advice I can give is: a) Play with it, without immediate expectations of producing finished music. Explore it without a set agenda or a timetable. That way learning it is fun and low key. b) While the PDF manual isn't task-oriented - like, it doesn't step-by-step you through the various recording/editing processes - it's nonetheless an _extremely_ thorough reference to all the features. You can't read it linearly; but you can use it to figure out how each feature works. c) Keep a notebook, and jot down stuff you learn, like keyboard shortcuts, etc. d) Expect to be stuck, many times, as you go searching online for answers to your current impasse! Best of luck! :^)

Thanks for this clear and detailed video on the basics, I'm coming from a fair amount of experience with mpc beats, unfortunately my midi stopped working inside beats but works fine on ableton live 11. I'm free trialling at the moment for ninety days and today is day one! Hard learning curve as the difference to beats is quite distinct. Your voice is clear and easily understood, you give great detail but not so much that it's confusing with too much information. Many thanks.
