Ableton for Singer Songwriter - How to Make a Song 

Thanks man. I definitely think you can get some great sound with simple equipment.

There's all kinds of ways you can approach it. Just sharing what has worked for me so far.

No worries.

Hey Lorin, thanks for the suggestion, I will look at doing a video like that sometime in the near future.

Thanks!

Hey Wayne. I think everyone has to figure out what program's workflow works the best for them. I personally love working in FL Studio. I'm learning Ableton because I want to use it for a more live performance context. If you'd be up for it, I'd love to jump on a zoom session with you to talk through what you have been working on and where you're running into problems. If you are up for it, send me a DM on twitter @_thejeremyj Thanks!

As I'm recording and getting everything worked out I keep the click it. It's not usually until the end when I'm ready to mix down and master that I take the click out.

I appreciate the feedback.

Hey thanks so much for makng the effort to reply, Its no big deal, the video is great and I really appreciatte you giving your time like this, thank you ! It was just a bit distracting for me making It a harder to hear clearly what you were actually creating So many DAW introductions focus on Electronic musc production and bedroom programmers rather than actual physical musicians and singer songwriters who just want to get a basic song demo down with maybe a couple of live guitar and vocal tracks then some percussion , bass, piano, a string sound etc Just a simple stripped back sound maybe a dozen tracks max and don't need 30 tracks of samples and ambient sounds 😜 So I am definitely going to be subscribing Thanks!

I think you just start where you are at and you have decide what you want to do. I personally think learning how to produce music is a great skill for singer songwriters. If you don’t learn then you just have to be willing and able to pay others for their skill in putting together music for you.

@@ProductionDen Thanks！

Definitely not! I still use FL Studio on a regular basis. Just learning and using Ableton more.

@@ProductionDen Which one is convenient for you?

I assume everyone has the gear, and walked through the basic process I use to make a song. Let me know specifically what you would like to see, and I can do a more in depth video on that.
