illFactor, you could have easily made a Udemy course out of this and priced it at $200 but you made it a RU-vid video. I respect you. Very good tutorial. I wish you success. 😘

This is a really clear video and not once did you do or say something that you didn't explain. Usually, I stay away from long tutorials because the result is commonly needless talking. I'm happy to say your tutorial was in depth and well worth watching. 10/10.

I think I said "oooooohhhhhh" in realization about ten times in the first 20 minutes alone. Great video

For the people who CAN´T HEAR a SOUND when pressing a key... 1. KEY BOARD symbol in upper right corner needs to be ON 2. red record circle on the right side of the track needs to be ON 3. use 'x' and 'z'/'y' to change between octaves (some midis need a specific range for example C1 - D2) TRY SWITCHING UNTIL YOU HEAR SOMETHING because you might be in a wrong octave hope that helps:)

the amount of times i went 'ooohhhhhh' made me realize how much i needed this. thank you

Hands down the best tutorial I've ever seen on RU-vid. Everything here is great. No long weird intro, no BS comments between explanations nor trying to be funny when the viewer just wants to learn. Also, high quality recording (sound & video) plus you did an excellent job in touching all the important stuff when it is right to reveal them, meaning - no running around between different subjects\features with no actual connection. everything is aligned. GREAT JOB!

I took you almost 38 minutes to misspeak and repeat yourself. I can't believe you did this in one take. Great work!

MAN YOU WERE BORN TO DO THIS.....YOUR LIKE REALLY GOOD AT MAKING AN HOUR SEEM LIKE A MINUTE... THANKS FOR THIS....IF YOU EVER NEED A FAVOR LMK I OWE YOU ONE

On 10 years of having my youtube account, I have never ever commented on a video, but maaaan I really want to thank you for this incredibly clear tutorial. You made me and a couple of my friends very happy. Thank you again and keep it up!!

I learned more within the first 35 minutes than I did with hours of FL Studio tutorials, and this is the first I've watched for Ableton. Thank you and well done.

Man I have to consider that this video was the best remedy for the quarantine. Very clear and effective. Made things simple and easy in a way I couldn't imagine!!! Thank you

I've just bitten the bullet with Live Suite after years of using Reason. I didn't have a clue about how to use Ableton. I've watched shitloads of educational vids for beginners over the last week and I can assure you that this is the one that I've learned the most from. I appreciate your work.

I honestly thought I already knew a lot about Ableton, but this video just proves that I still need to learn a whole bunch more about this DAW

Thank you for putting time and effort into making something that teaches people for free!

Yo, I've been using Ableton for a couple of years, but I feel like I blindly learned most of it alone. So I went back and watched this to rediscover the nuances I may have missed initially. This is the absolute perfect video for Ableton integration. Freakin fantastic. Thank you a lot

Coming back to Ableton after a 9 year hiatus from making music (Back in the ableton 7 days) and desperately needed a video like this to help get me started back up. Very comprehensive and will definitely reference your videos from here on out! Thank you!

One of the best intros to Ableton Live I've seen - thanks

i dont understand how anyone can leave a thumbs down for this video i have just learnt how to use ableton when at the beggining i had 0 knowledge imgoing to use it as my go to guide as its so easy to understand thankyou

I know this is an older video. I still want to say that it was absolutely excellent. I gained more from watching this than any other starter video I have seen. There is so much information in here I took notes and will still go back and watch it again once I get into some of the more advanced possibilities of Ableton. Gratitude!

Hey, This is simply put, an amazing video. I cannot express how grateful I am with your effort on making this 80min video, which is NOT short at all. Helped me a lot. Thank you very much.

I've been trying to sit through basic tutorials for a while and this is the first one that I've been able to actually pay attention to. Thanks for the dope tutorial!

This guy explains things in a clear and concise manner. He delivers the information.

Man Ive watched alot of tutorials trying to grasp ableton. Being a complete newbie to recording and this is the only one ive veen able to learn from and be able to do anything with...... Many thanks!!!

I've spent the past 4 year using Logic Pro X and enjoyed it but always was inspired by Majid Jordan's producer, Jordan Ullman. He uses Ableton so I made the transition to Ableton and this hands down is the most comprehensive tutorial i've ever watched involving a DAW. I've watched hundreds on Logic ones and none of them compare to this. Thank you so much .

BRAVO! This is the best overview for Ableton I've found. I'll be watching it again and I just subscribed. I learned more in this hour and 20 minutes than I ever thought possible. THANK YOU for producing a quality, value packed tutorial.

This is literally the best long duration tutorial ive ever watched. Thank you for taking the time to put this together, everything makes complete sense. Subscribed!

I wish I could know about this few years ago. You don't know how much you HAVE HELPED me and people like me. All the love in the world. May you always always be blessed and stay happiest in the world. ❤

I am learning Ableton with my newly acquired midi keyboard, and I feel like you saved me loads of reading and cross-referencing and "huh?"s. THANK YOU!

This has got to be one of the greatest ableton live tutorials of all times! Thanks alot for sharing this vídeo!!!

I have learned so much in the last 20 minutes. Thank you for making my lockdown a little brighter! Wish all youtube tutorials were as clear, calm, and free from nonsense as this is. Thank you!

Switching from another DAW to Ableton and this is the first video I am watching. One of the best videos on ANY topic out there. The narrator has such an eloquent voice. Thank you!

Sir, you deserve all the Grammys for this video.

Awesome beginner tutorial. Has tons of value on it. RECOMMEND IT 100%

Awesome tutorial! Thank you Beat Academy :)

Thank you Beat Academy for taking the time to show us the valuable cornerstones of Ableton Live 10. I like how you explain this in a Rick Rhythm, minus the burps and the away we go/Wubba lubba dub dub quotes.

One of the best Ableton live tutorial videos, HANDS DOWN!!

FINALLY FINISHED IT! (almost like 7 hours in total, making notes, replicating and experimenting every topic in the video... Plus, going deeper and investigating non-seen stuff) THANKS!, it's a very complete video to cover the basics... BUT ALL OF THEM!. Coming as a regular ProTools user, feel glad to followed this tutorial, now I can express in both DAWs more evenly. Please, keep this good work. I just noticed, you uploaded this on my birthday haha

This is the clearest, and most comprehensive, Ableton tutorial that I have ever seen. Thank you for taking the time to produce it.

Coming from an FL background and this is the first tutorial I've watched that made everything clear and to the point. I should have switched much sooner! Great job!

Really great tutorial, especially for total beginners. Thanks very much! 非常感谢！

I just wanna say you're doing gods work by simplifying stuff like this just enough to keep it interesting and also accessible. The knowledge able to be soaked in these 80 sum minutes is absolutely incredible. Thank you!!

Absolutely the BEST tutorial on Ableton I've ever come across. Straight to the point with no silly jokes. Well planned and well explained. Thank you so much!

I'm here on my RU-vid account to show my friend what Ableton and Cubase are capable of and I notice that lots of people in the comments saying FL Studio is crap. Let me just iron something out as an owner of multiple DAWs (FL Studio Pro, Cubase Pro, Ableton 10 Suite, Pro Tools) and a person that only uses two of them (Ableton and Cubase). FL Studio 20 is great for beat making! I have a lot of RnB and Hip Hop artists in Australia that has been using it since it was called Fruity Loops. In fact back in 2001 when I was first introduced to PC music generation the first DAW my father got for me was Fruity Loops! It was a whole new world outside playing music with the school band and recording samples with a microphone and my mother's pots and pans with Microsoft record on Windows XP. I would say its a GREAT first buy for kids learning music creation as it has all the bits and bobs + some sick plugins to start without having to spend shit tonnes extra to break the bank as it has free updates for life.

Kinda dope to know that a Grammy-nominated producer did this video for us

Thank you so much! I had a ton of trouble when beginning with Ableton Live, but your tutorial really helped me a lot!

Thank you for that, I really appreciate it, from deep down in my heart, I can't imagine how much time I would've spent if I had to learn all by myself or other creators. This is the absolute best guide I've seen about a DAW. never stop making videos man, just got yourself a new fan.

I've watched a ton of tutorials concerning Ableton. This one, hands down, was the best of the lot. Thank you!!!!!

watched the whole video. Really appreciate your works!

Daaaamn this is some no-nonsense tutorial! Top notch!

Just watched every minute of this video WITHOUT alt-tabbing to Ableton! Awesome tutorial! Some things I knew already but some I didn't and that helped me both refresh my knowledge of Ableton Live (9) plus it helped me get a better idea how to use both session and arrangement view!

This is exactly what I was needing. Straight to the point to dive in. Thank you!

Extremely helpful valuable content. Thanks for the Kit and endless tips for utilization of this great program. You da man🤙🏻🙏🏼💪🏻

This is the best video tutorial on Live 10 I've found. Clear, complete, answered all my questions litterally ! Thanks !

This tutorial is absolutely amazing, no other words for this. The way you explain things is incredible; you make this tool become very clear.

I took a college course on Garage Band (which is a bit easier of a system to learn), but I am understanding and learning so much more about Ableton from this video than in that class. This is incredibly helpful, thank you

so many confusing videos out there - this is the best DAW video I have seen really opened up the software for me, thank you.

This is the best Ableton tutorial on RU-vid. I really appreciate the time you took out to explain everything you touched.🙏🏾🙏🏾

You don't imagine how you have helped bro. I was sick of using the FL Studios so I decided to change for Ableton, and you have saved me a big time, thanks!

This is great, Thank you! I got Live 10 Intro, for the Session view creating ideas in addition to my other daws for other aspects of production. I would LOVE to see a whole course on it alone covering all kinds of inside tips, skills, features, and creation ideas, etc. Ill Factor is such a great teacher for Live, hoping he does this himself. Hey Ill, maybe a Session view focused masterclass here on YT or on Udemy for us more tight budgeted $$$ folks. Jason Allen has lots on there and is great, but I'd really like to see Ill Factor content on there myself! :)

I'm 17 mins in and my mouth has been open just staring in disbelief that I found a tutorial that's this well-made and with such an intuitive progression... first tutorial I've ever watched on youtube that I'm able to follow despite knowing almost nothing on the topic beforehand. Can't thank you/praise you enough. (who on earth would hit dislike on this video..... bitter/resentful competing tutori-trolls? *shakes head*)

Best 'getting started with Ableton' guide I've found so far. Nice work, many thanks.

I'll have to rewatch this many times...so much information. I just purchased a Push 2. Great vid!

Thank you so much for your time, and for allowing me to jump straight unto music creation instead of hours of lonely and hardworking exploring!! Congrats, great tutorial ;)

Fire tut. facts only for 1 hour. Highly recommend for you to watch this if you're an Abelton beginner.

This is so far the best explanation of Ableton i have watched. I was hesistant at first due to the length, but every single minute of this video was informative. Really great job.

Fantastic video. Not too deep, but covers enough info to enable you to dive in without being overwhelmed. Thanks for pulling it together!

Wow. Great vid. I'll be watching this about a dozen times!

This is phenomenal. Good work!

This was extremely helpful; everything I needed to know to start sampling and creating in Ableton. This solidified my switch from Logic Pro to Ableton Live. Thank you!!!!

This is the best Ableton tutorial I've found. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

dude you need to be nominated for another grammy for this video. Great work

coming from reaper....this is SO COOL. There's so much more you can do, and so many more cool things that i just didn't have access to. I LOVE IT

FINALLY! A tutorial that is begginner friendly and on point. Thank you!

this is the best beginners tutorial i ever saw on youtube!thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I agree this is an amazing effort - i feel guilty watching it for free... the work/time put into it is amazing! I was just about to get rid of Ableton through a serious lack of info online but not now THANK YOU!!! I can now go back to my MasterClass with Deadmau5 and understand what is going on!

Amazing !!!

I really dig the long form tutorial, without any distracting music either! I'm just getting into ableton and this explained things pretty clearly for me. This is gonna be a lot of fun! 💎

This was abundantly helpful. Thank you for your clarity, good diction, and knowledge!

This must be that best tutorial I've ever seen on any subject

Holy shit it's so extremely hard to grasp this in one go, will definitely need a rewatch. Good content bro

Hands down the best Ableton Tutorial I've came across. Precise, on point and very well explained.

I can’t thank you enough for this video. I’m normally a ProTools user but I picked up Ableton so I can get more into sequencing. The interface was completely foreign to me and I tried so many videos but nothing helped. Then I stumbled upon this magical video and it was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much

100% useful and explained patiently!! easy to digest info. thanks!!

Many thanks, great tutorial

Great walkthrough. I've been struggling to get my head round Ableton, but this has helped a lot. Thank you!

Man, this is great! No BS, all give-- really appreciate both the outstanding content and your generosity!

Not gonna lie at 3:33 after clicking the metronome I realized this video would be golden

What a ridiculously useful tutorial, thank you so, so much! I recently jumped from Reason to Ableton and tried to just figure it out as I go. But there was a lot of stuff I was wondering about, as Ableton is very different from Reason. And what I quickly realize is how much thought has been put into workflow in Ableton, it's really impressive with all the double click here, click and drag there, set parameters here etc. I also went "ahhhh", "Waaow!", "For real??!", "OMG!" at all the useful features you carefully explain in a very effective way. I can often get impatient watching tutorials like this. Especially newbie tutorials. But you explain WHY you do certain things, show us HOW you do it, and sprinkle with examples, providing more context to help retention. Perfect audio and clear voice as well. Thanks again, you've saved me a lot of time and frustration, and I will share this tutorial with anyone wanting to learn Ableton in the future.

Downloaded A10 today, 13 minutes in and my world has changed. Much appreciated.

Man! I can't click more than once the LIKE button! I've watched this completely in 2 days (quarantine times), and you did a fantastic job! I'm dying for more tutorials. For instance, on all those parameters in the ableton instruments, or effects. 1,000,000 likes!

I just got a push 2 with the ableton 10 suite. I was kinda lost with the software. Then I watched your video. It helped TREMENDOUSLY. Thank you for real brotha!

really well done, fella, and massively helpful in getting my head around AL's capabilities... thanks for posting...
