I learned Ableton in one week. 

This is the longest ad I've watched in a long time

10 minute ad, just what i needed

I am 30% into the course and loving it so far! i've tried to learn Ableton through youtube over the past year and it is just so hard since there wasn't clear direction. This is amazing! Lessons are easy to follow, well produced and the curriculum just flows so well. Would recommend to anyone thinking about it! For those thinking it is too expensive, you get so much in this course that i'd honestly be happy to pay more haha. Super well done to you and RKC! Best to thing happen in 2020 haha :D

Is this a 10-minute long advertisement for Rachel's lessons?

I rarely comment on RU-vid! - Completed RKC's Ableton course w Mary Spender here in UK during pseudo “lockdown 2.0”. I’ve used Ableton for about 10 yrs in a home hobby context, but there were frustrating gaps in my knowledge and clunky elements to my workflow. 80% of the course I kinda knew/understood/do already etc but it was the 20% I didn't the know that was (pure gold) totally worth the time and effort. Unlike a lot of RU-vid music tech content that tends to be wrapped up in product pushing or self promotion, the course was pure quality education, humbly, but passionately presented by both Rachel and Mary. Big thanks for a great genuine learning experience during difficult times.

This has come at a perfect time for me! Just about to setup a home studio and was planning to use Ableton, looking forward to learning! :)

I’ve taken Andrew Huang’s class on production, probably one of the best purchases of my life. I’m sure this one is just as good.

Would you say you became ENabletonED after learning it? I'll see myself out...

This course is outstanding. 100% worth it Any comments saying it is too expensive are ridiculous when you examine the amount of quality and content. Clear, concise and not overwhelming. Amazing teaching. As suggested, start with , if you are just starting out.

I'm a huge fan of Mary and Rachel! I'm really excited to do this course!

When I started writing/recording I started on tape. Casettes, then 1/4 inch then 2-inch, mini disc, CD, then digital. From Protools and cakewalk to Logic and now Ableton. If you are truly wanting to a pro musician, you need to be a lifelong student. There will always be more to learn. ALWAYS. I will absolutely check out the courses!

I've been learning ableton for just a couple months now and it's been so rad

the first time i used session view it felt like magic. So much easier to plan out the pacing and peaks of a song.

That preview of "Ride With You" sounds like it could be on the radio!

I am ready. I sold my Tascam cassette 4-track recorder that I got in the 1990s. I just got the Focusrite 2i2 and Ableton Live Lite, and here I go.

Absolutely fantastic! You two are working together on some great content, I'm hoping it extends further than Ableton, You both are very talented!

I've been using ableton for a while, I love it because as I'm a singer songwriter I don't want to sound like everyone else. It helps me be fluid in my creativity and make sounds that I normally wouldn't on another daw. Its also easy to use for me in its design

I'm mainly an FL Studio user, but I've been messing around with Ableton Live Suite 10, and even though I don't really see myself producing full songs on it (just yet), it's nice to change it up since I've been using FL Studio since 2008. I love the warping capabilities and how easy it is to hook up external instruments. I also love the session view, it reminds me of how I use the step sequencer in FL.

Oh my goodness, we are the same! I've had the same revelation and have played for 15 years singing with an acoustic guitar. I spent 15 years writing out music and hiring other musicians to play with me, and I just downloaded cover songs royalty free midi files and dragged them into my DAW (logic pro ....gotta figure out how to get it to ableton) but 15 years worht of work, in one move! you can change the sounds and write other parts if you want to and then perform it with a push controller or in your case your novation! what! RKC is amaing and I am definitely going to take her course...just saving up money. I just spent so much building my home studio....but its worth it! Thank you for sharing all these lessons and tools for musicians!

I thought I would be taken through your journey of learning ableton and I might catch some tricks. But this was just one big ad for a course with lots of blabla and nothing....

Tfw noob gatekeeper guitarists say “YOu MaKE muSic oN A LaPtOp”. If only they knew.

You're inspiring and lovely..peace be with you love 💘

Got the course and twice now got stuck. I’m not tech savvy and have mightily struggled. I’m the guy who actually needs Rachel on the line, not just on the recording. But here it is 1/1/24 and I am gonna try again. I have other YT support on deck and will also try to find real people in my town because I have not yet broken through. I make things with my hands, I actually make and restore instruments when not playing guitar or piano and writing… I’m also a skilled artist and painter,.. I’m not a total knucklehead ..but so far, my tech skills are too basic to learn Abelton via this course. But here we go, new year… maybe I’ll make some real progress this time🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

I definitely intrigued by this course I have always wanted to learn how to produce music.

Love your videos Mary

DO NOT WATCH ITS AN AD

I am a beginner and I am recently producing on Ableton Live 10. I started producing on fl studio. Ableton is so rich DAW and the work flow is smooth. #love_ableton.

Your brave! Props to you girl!

This is perfect for me, I just got Ableton a couple weeks ago.

It‘s a really great course with high quality content! And best of all, it‘s really fun! This course is not just a presentation of features. You also learn how to use these features effectively in your music production. Congrats to both of you!

Two cassette decks allowing for overdubbing is fine for me, thanks.

I also use ableton for music production .. I am not that pro but .. now it’s been around 2 years I am in it and I really enjoy it 😃😇🥰

Wow came across you looking for ableton advice, and im so glad i did! fantastic voice, great writing!

That snippet of your song at around 6:30 sounds awesome!

So excited for the new music!!! You've been an inspiration to me lately, Mary! I am also looking forward to learning more about ableton. It feels more user friendly than other daws I've seen.

just found this and am starting to learn Ableton however I make more hip hop, rap and latin music. Would this course still be ag good fit for me?

I'm an fl studio user but I like ableton for the live set up so I'm trying to get my head around the differences.

Getting closer and closer 2 Pushing that Ableton training link. Thanks

Ya'll might also wanna look into FL Studio, it's way more user friendly than Ableton Live, and has an infinite trial period if you dont think you will be able to pay for Ableton after a month of using its trial for free.

You are amazing! Yay!

If I primarily want a DAW to record audio (acoustic guitar, piano, sax, etc) is Ableton useful? I would also use virtual instruments on occasion, but no beats, no samples, no looping, etc. Old school, play instruments with my hands, record audio. Is Ableton best for this, vs some other DAW?

Ableton is like having magic audio powers.

I'm currently learning Bandlab. Beat maker, recording, and social media.

You are inspiring! Thank you!

It has been on my pc for months untouched, I think it is time!!

I absolutely love Ableton. The more I learn how to use it, the more I love it.

This is like Kate Middleton and Sporty Spice teaming up for a tutorial.

im also an acoustic instrumentalist who works in Ableton!!!! its awesome

Nice idea you two - I too have been teaching myself Ableton for the past 6 months - still learning

Problem is that most of us can’t fork out £500 for ableton. The lite version won’t let you export any music so we wasn’t gunna download that.

I got hooked to ableton live recently. I used Pro Tools, mainly for mixing, but Live is a lot of fun.

I just finished a Berklee Online class for Logic Pro. It took a heck of a lot longer than a week.

Love ableton but mixing and mastering I use Pro tools with waves plugs and hardware ! Nice to see ur upgrading ur self! 👌🏾🎉

i used to use Cakewalk Sonar, had ableton on a computer for a year before i actually used it, and after mastering it, can't really use any other daw, it has the most streamlined workflow . i do lots of MIDI. however my windows computer died and i have a linux computer now, using LMMS, which is painful, but i arrange the songs in Reaper, which is great, but very different from ableton... ableton may seem daunting at first, but after you learn it , it's super easy and you can throw a song together really fast. i tried sonar again after years of ableton use, and it took me about ten times as long to do things...and, if you really wanna do what Rachel does, ableton is a must -have, especially for it's 'session mode' which correlates to the Push or launchpad style controllers you see in her setup...

Yes, Mary! This is exactly where I am. I bought a Focusrite and it had Ableton light. Perfect timing for my situation. I'll be checking out the videos. Thank you!

I have the 90 day free trial of Ableton. After many hours of watching videos and reading and struggling, I've managed to create an extremely simple beat... I am a graphic designer and I lost my job during the pandemic. I decided to take some time for myself and learn some new things instead of looking for a job right away. I've played instruments on and off throughout my life but I would say my music knowledge is limited. I'm not too sure what my goals are with all this but I'm enjoying learning guitar and bass again for now!

Thanks Mary, now I'm inspired. I have tried to learn it on youtube and other resources but havent been dedicated enough. Time to try again. Ableton is kind of daunting as a DAW noob lol!

New fan from the course :D ! Love it!

WOOOOOOOOOO xxxx

Well, this should be fun, I signed up!

Thanks very much for sharing from Africa

Ahaaa! I just watched an ad. Got it.

I use Ableton since 2010 and i would never change to any other DAW. But i didn't understand why people using it mostly for electronic music, and why they stuck with this in mind. I use Ableton mostly to do Orchestral Soundtracks or Metal. Btw: I do not use the Clip Session. For me its like a track is made of Lego Blocks and you puzzle to make it fit and sound good. In arrangement view, i can make the track have a flow and being more dynamic.

It'll be difficult to put trusty old Cubase (22 years of use and counting) to one side. I'll give Ableton and this course a go, this is going to be fun!!

So how does Ableton Live stack up against Studio One? Pro version of Studio One, not the Artist version.

This is so great!

I am interested and I cannot find the course link. Please provide, Thanks.

Getting into guitar again after a few years, should I invest in some music production software so i can use whatever I write?

Next week, she'll have a gold pineapple too...

1:42 Okay, what's it with musicians and golden pineapples?

Just bought my first focusrite scarlett solo and it comes with an abelton lite version. It'd be the first daw I ever use so I think I'll give that one a try first :)

Good timing, I've been using lite for a few months and am thinking about upgrading to suite, I'll look into this. Thanks!

It would be useful to know why you switched to Ableton (if you completely switched).What can it do that Logic can't (if anything). Are you using it for live performance or studio work as well?

Yes Ableton is great for noobs but also quite advanced once you dig deeper. Pro tools is just too difficult unless your a pro producer. Not sure what you were using before ableton? The blending fades tool is unbelievable not just for fades but for editing you can really make sudden key changes etc sound quite natural, You would't know it had been edited at all.

Good timing, was thinking about getting a midi keyboard to spice up my home mood noodlings. Will check this course out. From analogue guitarist.

Hi Mary, this is what i‘m looking for😃👍! I have a question, is it also impossible to make this course with Ableton Live Lite 10?

I'm curious, so after you learned Ableton in one week, will you keep using it? Some DAWs stick and others don't. I think Ableton is effing confusing.

love that blue guitar

...and Rachael is Welsh (Swansea)! Huzzah! Full disclosure: Although I am based in the Seattle region, my mum is from Cardiff and my aunt Sue has lived in Swansea for decades. Ewch Cymru!

You are good peuple! I like your vidéo you and Rachel!

I love Ableton Live too. I started off with Logic Pro, but a friend of mine convinced me to try Ableton for easier collaboration with him. I dont have a Mac anymore so using Logic isnt an option anymore, which im perfectly ok with. I now use a mix of Ableton Live 10 and Studio One 5 Professional. I like using Ableton for the creative/writing process, especially when it comes to midi and automation, and then Studio One 5 for mixing. I really dont like ableton's mixer view and metering. I still have a lot to learn on both applications

Hi Mary you are really irresistible ! 🐅❤️ I tried to sign up but the form wouldn't take my email address and I don't no why but I'll try to figure it out! LOL.... I just have so many problems with this iPad stuff....LOL 🙂❤️✌🏻Bw.🦋

well it came with my focusrite, together with pro tools ..and since pro tools always crashed, I guess I shall learn ableton (as a guitar player) ...is it allright? Or should I learn something different (I'm on windows)...cool video btw!

Liking the sound of the new track

Awesome Sister Awesome

Wow so good at what you do!! Did you teach yourself or did you get classes to learn??

I’m soooo glad i read the comments yall saved me some time lol

At around 6:00 I realised that this is yet another advert from a RU-vidr.

I have the necessary hardware, since I've been trying out Ableton 10 Live Lite (now renamed Intro?), for some months. But the upgrade to Ableton 10 Live Suite is 423 EUR (20% offer right now), and then $149 for the course. OK, I can do the Ableton 90 days for free, but after 90 days, I need to pay anyway, and 20% more! Suddenly a lot of money at one time! I'm confused! But I have a feeling that this Ableton course is very good! 🙌😁

Sounds great! Can I do the course with Ableton Lite or do I need to buy the big version?

I come to youtube as you get instructional vids for free.

the course is focused on session ? or you can learn how to work in arrengment from finish to end?

Although Ableton is excellent there is Bitwig. Bitwig is very, very similar to Ableton and runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.

I just wanted to sign on but theres only credit card as a payment option. Do you guys think that there might me an option for paypal as well, some time?

Why not playing in Band together?

I want to be able to have my electric guitar processed through Ableton 11 during love performances (timing modulation FX with the clock track and maybe even volume boosts for solos, etc.). Which of your courses would work best?

I also come from Pro Tools and made the switch to Ableton. I find it a lot more versatile for writing and midi (love their presets and native plugins.) I still like Pro Tools better for recording and manipulating audio and mixing. I think that there is a good balance between the two. If rewire would let us use Ableton's VST capabilities we'd have DAW bliss.

What's the difference between fl producer and ableton producers? Seriously

I have Abelton on my desk I’m still intimidated to use it

Wow that sounds alright and kinda ways different
