Part two in this complete series on how to make a song inside Ableton! Here is the full playlist to all the videos - ru-vid.com/group/PLA8RA6L1Cg85NRUHg_dL5TcbgG3Cz4eCD

Your videos are incredibly helpful and are way better than all of the other tutorials for Ableton Live 10

I have been for two entire weeks following other first-song tutorials and let me tell you honestly that I have learned more with you in ten minutes than with the others in two weeks, literally. Not only that but you revived my motivation to learn ableton, because I was about to give up right before finding you. Thanks man.

you are a great teacher.

Dude, soo helpful, now I actually know what different functions can open up

Dude, I can't thank you enough. I don't use Ableton but I still learned a lot about music making process with this. The end about compressors helped me out big time! I've been struggling for a long time trying to understand compressors. I've read about them and watched videos and everyone would explain WHAT they are and HOW they work but you showed me WHY to use one. You gave a good practical example. Again, thanks!

for some reason learning from others has always hurt my pride, i have no idea why , but watching and learning from you helps immensely . great videos !

That short little lesson about using the Compressor was so eye opening! Thank you!

Amazing response to this video already, thanks so much everyone! If you want to get more in-depth with your drums here is a complimentary video I made - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4YFx7kNSpzU.html Hope this empowers you to take Ableton by the horns and dive deep into song writing! No limits.

I already know how to use Ableton, it’s just satisfying to come back and watch these things.

Had tried Cubasis on iPad. That was a mess. So now I just bought Ableton. Had no freakin' idea where to start. So many subtle little buttons and indicators. This is a savior. It's organized. You don't waste time. And it's starting to make sense relatively quickly. Dude - Thank you!!

Boomer here :) but young at heart :) You are truly great at explaining. I did watch a lot of other videos but yours is a truly perfect blend of explaining and doing while most others either do, leaving a noob like me confuzzled, or blah blah explain without ever doing stuff. Cheers from Rome.

Jesus, Im so happy to find this channel, a bit late but learning a lot, thanks from spain!

Bought Ableton, pulled up youtube and this was the first production video I've watch and lemme tell you i can see the light haha thank you for this I'll be watching the next ones as well

Well finally someone who explains this stuff so clearly that even i understand. I have wanted to make my own music for such a long time and now that i have all the gear and instruments im able to do this with the help of your videos. Thank you so much!

This tutorial just made me fall in love with Ableton again. Thank you for such comprehensive and clear explanations. God bless you for sharing your gold with us! Cheers from Angola!

I thought I was just dumb for not grasping the lessons of other instructors, but you made it so understandable. You even explained some basic music theory which helped a lot. Definitely will still need to practice to get better and better, however, I am so happy to have come across this video after so many months of struggling. Thank you!!

You sir are the most in depth, easily understood, and concise instructor I've found for ableton sound design. Have been evolving my journey and really dedicated some time lately to learning the inner workings of the program and I'm certainly grateful to have found your stuff! So much info in descriptive easy to understand chunks, I'll be watching more of these!!!! Rock on

Yo, I just want to thank you for putting these videos together. I've utilized other sites for instructions and was really getting frustrated. You are going into further detail which has really helped me out. Greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work!

I cannot believe I hadn’t come across this RU-vid channel before! So articulate and detailed! You’re doing such a good job man! I already produce on Logic Pro X, but have been trying to get a grip on Ableton, and you’re the only guy whose videos have made he DAW accessible for me! Thank You! 😇🙏🏾

You're a legend man this channel is so good

after a 20 ish year hiatus from Cubase/samplers this is much needed no nonsense tutorial..cheers!

Awesome man, cheers! I've started as a complete beginner with Live in April and I've watched a bunch of your videos and tons of other ones too. I have to say though that you are the best teacher on RU-vid that I've found and your videos are _truly_ for a beginner. The way you go through everything step-by-step, and explain concepts from the ground up, is just fantastic. I've learned so much from this one and I can't wait to continue the series! Thankssss!! (Side note: my wife & I spent 4 months house-sitting in New Zealand last year and we plan to immigrate there. Such a lovely country!)

I’m so stoked you’re making this class again. Thanks!

I hope Ableton is paying you for these great tutorials. Your channel is the reason why I paid for full Ableton Live ! Please keep updating your channel.

Huge thanks for making this series! I'm quite new to Abelton and during this crazy time of physical distancing decided to work my way through your videos. Just a fantastic way to learn the DAW. Cheers!

Hey man, this is the best tutorial I 've ever seen.. It's the first time that someone makes a tutorial that you can follow perfectly with clear explanations and everything works as you explain with no gaps.. Really nice for people like me that never used tech to make music, old school guy that used to just play the songs...now I wanted to start doing the whole song by myself and it's great your tutorial. THANKS!!!

This is the most useful and informative tutorial that I've come across, thank you! I'm a long time musician, but new to DAW's and Abelton Live and this was so helpful. I got a bit stuck early on in the lesson after the drum kit was selected and inserted as a new MIDI channel. I couldn't get the kick to map over and realized it takes a double click. Thanks so much for this great tutorial!

I love love love your vibe for teaching!! I love how you show *both* how to click and tweak things in Ableton *and* show why you use things to achieve an effect. So glad I'm on this journey with you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. Learning Ableton was so incredibly daunting before I stumbled across your channel. You've helped turn what I love and am passionate about into something that I can continue being passionate about. I appreciate this and you!! :)

i really really appreciate you going through even the smallest of issues. so many tutorials proudly skip over those problems and I get so frustrated when that happens, thank you :)

Perfect balance of teaching and explaining while staying to the point and progressing. Thank you. When I was doing FL Studio, I trouble finishing videos longer than 10 minutes. They were either too boring or too difficult. Yours are great

Awesome video man! You explain everything so clearly, it's truly incredible how helpful you are. Looking forward to the next video!

Your videos are the best. I am a complete beginner and for the first time, I feel like I actually know where to start from, so thank you for that!

Amazing stuff. I just picked up Ableton and am new to music production. I went through 10 tutorials for beginners and yours are by far the bomb!. Thank you.

Video series like this will help people spread art in the form of music for years to come. This is my first introduction to any kind of production, and I was very scared to dive into the material because I know how DEEEEP it is (the EQ itself will take awhile to learn), but you have eased some of my anxiety with your easy to follow instructions. I’m going to buy the software and a midi and get to work! Thank you!!

This is the most helpful tutorial. And I started looking for some on this topic BEFORE you dropped this one.

Excellent tutorial, you're a good teacher. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

You're a very effective teacher. Always taking care to mention little reminders later in the video, like CTRL-R to rename. I got a lot out of this! Thanks.

Thank you, finally something I can actually learn from! Really appreciate the in-depth explanations and walk through. Can't wait to write some new music.

I subscribed to you because you went straight to the point and are actually teaching what i was looking for, it's so rewarding to find what you're looking for on RU-vid man. This also free, wow.

Thanks a lot for these kind of videos man, Im just starting out in ableton literally from scratch and I feel like Im learning a TON. Thanks again.

Fantastically in-depth well done thank you!

Of all the videos I've watched yours are definitely the clearest & most helpful. You have a way to put yourself in the beginner's shoe. Which makes the difference. Thank you so much 👑

Thank you very much for your work, you explain the functions in a simple way, finally, I get it right with sidechain compression and a lot of other good stuff.

Hey man i know this video is somewhat old now, but as someone who just started learning ableton this has been the best tutorial for me as I had such a hard time starting / putting stuff together. Thank you!

This is the best way to organize this type of video which I have not yet found other than this one! Thank you!

Can't thank you enough for this. Onto part 2 baby! So helpful.

This is really great and straightforward. Second video I’m watching on your channel and I’m sure as hell hooked!

This is simply Perfect for me as a beginner and new to this program. Thanks for sharing this information ℹ️ to help all of us beginners. Your a F***KN LEGEND mate 🎹👍🏻

You're such a great teacher. I'm interested in producing my own music, probably not in the style this song is going but either way it's super helpful to at least get the basics down with an interactive lesson. Thank you so much!

Awesome tutorial series dude, seriously. Big thanks for helping me get to grips with Ableton and enabling me to produce my own track. You definitely helped improve my workflow

Your tutorials are top notched and extremely helpful and easy to understand. Thank you, your work is much appreciated!

Dude this is amazing. I find the best way to learn is to work along side someone with more experience. I've been only a guitar player my whole life. I honestly don't know why I waited this long to jump into to the production side of the industry. Thanks so much for this. 👊

I learned SO MUCH from this! I was going crazy before finding your videos, thank you 🖤

I really appreciate your tutorials, they are clear and concise, easy to follow. Thanks a lot, man.

Amazing channel brother. Thank you for your explanation. Finally someone good enough to explain it the way I like it! Cheers

Great tutorial so far! I have just restarted my song using your instruction and its already better than before! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

This series is awesome. I just bought a keyboard midi controller (still figuring that out) and it came with Ableton Live Lite. I'm on your 7th episode of making a song and although some features, like the main one you use for creating sounds - operator - isn't available in the lite version, you've helped me tremendously in learning a STRONG foundation. Thank you so much!

thanks for the tutorials man, just started using ableton and lucky for me theres people like you making great tuts!

I want to be a music composer and I'm just 17. this helps me alott! when i try it by myself i don't understand at all. thankyou, great channel

This is the BEST explanatory videos about ableton I came across Ty so much truly its so hard to find something as good detailed and explained. Also the compresor at the end lit 🎉

Thanks dude! Great teacher, I've followed this stage now on to the second. Much love

Brilliant! Thank you so much! Point by point. Perfect.

These beginner videos are great. Thank you.

Clear... precise... polite and to the point. Subscribed and can't wait to learn with you.. many thx!

You make a great instructor.. I've learned more from you in 20 minutes than 6 months of just hacking at it. Thank You.. I love that sub bass group. My roommates might not, but I do.

man, thank you for your simple break downs, you're a star

This is what i'm looking for, tutorials, downtempo psy, ableton and a good teacher, thank you so much, my natal lenguage it's the spanish but i'm learning a little of english and Ableton with you! I learn more with you than my production classes on Spanish, lol, i want to be a supporter! :D

Superb!! Should be the first stop for anyone wanting to get to grips with ableton itself but also sound design, arranging. So easy to follow and top tips all the way thru each vid. Looks like a long trek with all the episodes but it is well well worth it. You dont see the time passing..... Ta very much!!!!!

Great video - I’m only now starting to appreciate how incredible Ableton is !

RLLY HELPFUL! Cant wait for the next

YOU ARE AMAZING FOR THIS THANK YOU BROTHER LOVE AND LIGHT!!!

Man, I know this is an old video, but I'm just getting started and this was a huge help! Coming to Ableton from Waveform. Thanks!!

Thoroughly enjoying this. Very instructive! Thank you!

Thank you, this was an inspiring tutorial to get started!

I was looking for ableton tutorial for so long. I watched ton of shit. And now I foud it - something actually helpful. Thank you so so much!

Thanks for creating this tutorials for begginers, I would love to see a song tutorial for each style of music, I know Im asking too much! Thanks a lot for your videos!

Just got Ableton 10. This was a VERY helpful video. Thanks for the good work

THANKYOU SO MUCH. been looking for a place to start with music production for so long and you provided the perfect intro for me. thankyou

so glad i found your channel i appreciate all the knowledge you share

awesome!!!! you are so good in explanation!!! the video was gr8 and helpful.... keep it up man!!

Dude thank you so much! Just getting into Ableton and this is super helpful!

This is so helpful. I got Ableton for Christmas and had no clue how to use it. Thanks man

ATTENTION PEOPLE STARTING THIS: Firstly, this is a great tutorial and it will give you a lot of tools that will help you when making your own music in the future. However, you will ABSOLUTELY need to have the standard (or education version) of Ableton. If you're contemplating buying it, I would. Just bite the bullet and go for it. Having only 8 channels to work on stuff just isn't going to get you the places you need to be with any sort of music production, especially electronic. He also uses a lot of Operator, a 100 dollar plugin. You can get by fine with using the built in synths with a bandpass spinner filter, but I finally decided to buy it after around the 9th video. So yes, this video series is awesome and I really like the vibe of this guy, but you will end up spending ~$350 if you only have ableton Lite edition

you're a good teacher. thanks for these VERY useful videos!

Thanks for this video! Side chain explained so early is a blessing:)

Thanks man. Made me confident to pick up and start playing around with this DAW.

that is super helpful and your accent is surprisingly pleasing to my ears! thanks, for all of it))
