Hey, I have spent some millions of hours watching "explanatory" videos about Ableton but at the end of it, I got more and more confused than mastering the process. Your video is a real gold because it is precise, thorough and detailed. Great job, lad. You are the only one that gives full explanations of everything a beginner should know.

Awesome video thank you for this, very helpful in starting out in the world of DAW’S, particularly Ableton…going from a DJ to trying to understand the DAW capabilities to further my skill and dip into the music creating/production technical side of music has been a goal of mine for some time now, but learning the DAW’S has been quite confusing and overwhelming, and I always just find myself staying with my mixdeck to create my own samples, loops, mixes, mashups and overall music manipulation without even attempting to do it in a DAW…this video has really helped me understand the basics and general capabilities that a DAW can offer to up my game and take my creativity to the next level..looking forward to watching more of your videos, much respect and appreciation!!

Ive done the 90 day trial and commissioned someone to teach me for a few days and I was left feeling overwhelmed. I wish I had found your video sooner. However, Im on round 2 of learning and creating with ableton. Thank you for your method of teaching and communicating.

You have a gift for teaching! I find it very discouraging wading through the muck of online tutorials to find information I can use. Your entire video, from start to finish is filled with useful information taught in a way that a 12 year old could understand and a 50 year old would appreciate. Thanks!!

This was really helpful. I used to make music in the 90's with DOS based trackers. I never counted those eJay type softwares as real music tools (where you just pile already-made melodies etc in a pile&row). Way too automated. Anyway, this summer got this inspiration to start again and boy, was i in for a shock when i realized how the softwares had moved on. Got myself a push2 and live suite 11, but i've struggled to get started. Also it seems live11 is "manual enough" for me to count this as a proper tool, if you know what i mean. This video helped a lot. Thank you.

@EDMProd 2 жыл бұрын

Yep! Well nowadays there is a lot of automation, but only as much as you want to use... Glad you're finding these useful :)
