Did I just got emotional watching an Ableton tutorial? I'm speechless. You guys are really something else.

"honestly you don't need to be the next anything, instead, strive to be the first you" so true omg

As someone who only started exploring Ableton and sound design, this is incredibly informative. No fluff, no unnecessary information, no story time, just straight to the information. This was actually so well-presented that almost the entire piano sound design workflow clicked in my head right away, regardless of which artist it's trying to imitate. This is probably the best demonstration of the "put down an instrument + apply various effects + assign macros to taste" workflow that I've ever seen.

holy crap this is honestly so beautiful. it’s really cool to see someone breakdown arca’s sound design workflow + the piano playing was phenomenal!! also that baudrillard name drop was awesome

i am not who i was when i started watching this

Hands down one of the best ableton channels. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with us, really!

This is the best Ableton video I’ve ever seen by far. The visual, the knowledge, soundscape, the everything…I’m so in love with it.

the ending shook me, thank you for your work

This is quite possibly the best tutorial I've ever watched, extremely entertaining, masterfully recorded and yet straight to the point, easy to follow and understand. Just brilliant

This channel is perfect. All from the signal processing, to the piano playing, to the sound design + edition for the video, and THAT ending omg. Like, it's the most beautifully crafted tutorial i've ever seen. Also i needed those last words ;')

Your channel is truly astounding! Your ability to blend information, and demonstration with top notch editing and pacing is incredible. The topics you cover are always helpful, and lead to so much discovery and understanding. Thank you for all the hard work you do, and your unmatched presentation and style. ❤️❤️

The biggest of ups for this video, the fact that you reference Alix Perez shows you have a great understanding of sound design and application. Thank you g

quality over quantity is the way to make content. thank you kindly for this knowledge and artfully considered presentation.

*"Become the **_first_** you"* is an interesting idea because more so than commoditizing your unique self or gaining recognition for it, I interpret it to mean that most of us have never _truly_ become _ourselves_ , as most of the things that we identify with are the creations of others. So when the time comes for us to truly become _ourselves_ , it will be for the first time.

이 채널... 미쳤다. 여기에 댓글을 남기는게 역사의 한 장면에 내 흔적을 남기는 것 같다.

The first sound design tutorial I cried after.

i put on youtube videos to wake up in the morning and this video popped into my feed. I don’t even know who ARCA is. I’ve never heard of this channel. Now in the haze of the reality of a monday morning-i’m crying and have goosebumps. this is one of the most encouraging videos i’ve ever watched. love u ASD 🤍

After about 15 years of producing in Ableton Live i thought there was nothing left to learn from tutorial channels on KZfaq. You and Fastlane (for impro livesets)have been my best discover: fresh, advanced, ethical and modern videos. Thanks for existing, I love you❤ Can't wait for next videos.

this kind of content. It feels so surreal. I really, really, really, really love your videos style. I'll binge your channel for sure. Really got me hooked

i'm always coming to this channel for outside the box sound design and leaving with a dropped jaw from that deep commentary that just hits so right. i don't even know what to say besides thank you so much for what you're putting out there. your videos on art are pure art in and of themselves

Amazing, beautiful and enlighting as always. It also reminds me to some of OPN's piano moments. Once again another piece of art in tutorial format. Lov u ASD ❤

Was definitely in a rut creativity ever since Covid, but your videos are exactly what I needed to get out of it and for that I can’t thank you enough. ✨

This is a nice piano patch. You do great work! Never been big on Arca's songwriting overall, but always respected Arca's sound design, so this was cool to see and learn about.

Absolutely amazing message and very cohesive package from visuals, to video structure, the pacing at which information is delivered, and the final message was very much needed. Thank you so much !

Wow, this is simply amazing. My whole existence flew away to another universe while listening to this. And you are absolutely spot on with your points on artistic integrity and philosophy. Thank you for the inspiration!

the ending was just what i needed in this moment. i really feel like this video found me at the perfect timing. thank you. ❤️

probably best of tutorial videos i've seen, i'd say thats not just 'how to make something' type stuff but something inspiring. you guys are artists btw the piano melody at the begining is lowkey fire

Inspirational, well-thought, well-paced, I love everything about this channel. Absorbed all the videos in just 2 day, if only there were more vids. Love your channel, I guess I've found a hidden KZfaq gem. Keep going and teaching us stuff

Can't get over how good this channel is... Simply the best and my most favourite channel in all of KZfaq. I can't think of how this channel could be any more perfect.

Tremendously informative videos as always. Such a good series

WOW, just simple amazing content, and the final reflection, so much to think. Thank you asd!

this was absolutely stunning, and that section at the end was amazing, great work!

dude i just like cried a bit. yall are just something special

love this long sound demonstrations with different beautiful molodies

Wow, this video is gorgeous. I've never seen anything like this on Ableton tutorials. Furthermore, the end of this video changed my life as a producer, because before I thought that having expensive plugins was enough to be a good musician, trying to imitate my favorite artists, but then I realized that trying to experiment on my own (even just with free plugins like vital or the fruity granulizer) you can achieve incredibile results.

Absolutely inspiring, thank you so much for sharing your message.

This channel might be one of the most valuable things in all of yt, thanks

inspirational

This is one of the best production videos I’ve ever seen.

Thanks a lot for your work youve done. This helped me a lot with simple things in ableton i didnt know about glad you are here on yt

Loving this, so cool the way it edited! Good work 👏

amazing technique advices and a beautiful message, I've never watched a tutorial like yours

I really came here to replicate Arca's piano sound design and you stopped me in my tracks when I watched the outro of your video. I have grown comfortable using pieces of other artist' work and realized now that I really should focus on paving my own way while respecting/admiring the work our creative leaders have led for us. Your first video I've watched and will be tuned in for eternity. Forever ASD

That speech at the end was so inspirational, thank you

I'm fascinated by the simplicity and effectiveness of this tutorial, well done and thank you!

the end...goosebumps ♡ thanks

I love the fluidity of Arcas music especially her work with slower pieces like the feeling of floating, and I have been kinda hiding behind a shadow I think I have made of her- finding the issue of not wanting to copy her but to gain something from the way she plays, to be able to erect the same feeling that her music gives to me. I really appreciate that statement piece you put at the end, as I have just recently been exploring the world of audio production and learning so so much on making not just music but being able to form ideas, aesthetics, and thoughts within a sonic piece. Something interesting is that I don't really like overly simple electronic music like dubstep and just "throw together a few chords, baselines, and drums and there you go" but I love to expierment. Thank you so much asd you have literally helped me so much with your expiermental design approaches.

All that you've done with these tutorials has been top quality

It is so beautiful and magic how you share your knowledge, and how you gives nice and trully words about the creativity and how to push it to improve our souls and emotions, thank you so much

Bruh the design and edition of sound is spectacular. Marvelous

I've watched this like 3 times already but these videos are just too amazing

thank you so much for your last sentences. its so rare in this space to find this amount of honesty and heart warming perspective on music and creativity. i've subscribed to your channel because of your closing thoughts. 🙏

I've been learning a lot from these videos. Thanks for making these.

Incredible video. Insane important message at the end of the video. a great reminder

This video is a masterpiece!! Really. Love this channel. Thanks for sharing

Amazing breakdown. The ending demo gives me that same "I ate some really bad cheese an hour ago" feeling in my gut that Mutant gave to me when I first listened to it.

I didn't expect to see what I've just seen. It's more than just a YT video. Thank you for such content. Subscribed.

thank you for making these videos

i genuinely love you

The message at the end was as beautiful as it was unexpected

best tutorials ever of anything

Neon Genesis EvangAbleton, honestly sweated through all your vids last night and today and christ the all encompassing feelings i'm getting from this art, because let's face it, it's not a tutorial anymore. This is a new genre of art. TutorialCore? I don't know, but what I'm trying to say is, to combine learning with such genuinely rich philosophy and beauty is something I've never seen done anywhere near close to this and hope no one does try to be the next ASD but by god we need more of you. You're making me comment, I NEVER comment!

thank you for making this!

Omg it’s so beautiful 😢

Best channel love this

I came here to learn some ableton and now I'm crying and really feeling connected to asd somehow, thank you.

That was the most satisfying video ever

Love this
