Thank you Johnny Sins, this was a great tutorial

This is the greatest beginner level teaching video for creating music on ableton I've seen. You're great at explaining and the course is very well structured, would definitely buy it if I had money.

I remember doing these kinds of steps in good old SoundTracker on Amiga without knowing any of the terms and never bothered adjusting the volumes, I thought I was bad ass still ;D

Thank you, the impact you have made on the music community will be heard for years to come! (literally)

Oscar, I consider myself fairly proficient and experienced with music production. In reality, I don't NEED to watch this video, as I am not in the target audience. However, your videos are a great watch, without fail. There is always more to learn, if you are hungry for knowledge and driven to develop your skills/art, and this channel provides a comfortable and enjoyable learning environment for all skill levels. I have even learned some really basic keyboard functions from your videos, which I kick myself for not knowing years ago! Keep it up-

You’re incredibly good at explaining all of this, thank you so much for taking the time to teach and most importantly inspire!

I watched many vids over last year and just found your channel. It's great and user focused. Also your focus on structure in learning is really helpful.

May the gods of techno bless you my friend!

this video and your explanation are just WOW for me. Watched couple videos about ableton and you rocks!

The things you are doing and explaining in your channel are just incredible, top-notch stuff! You are not only talented in music, but explaining the concepts. I hope this channel hits half a mil subs, and many, many views within the next year! Thank you so much for taking the time, and shearing your skill with us!

Thanks for this, first time I opened Ableton I was just like ‘WHATTTT??’ This has really helped me

This is a masterpiece, thank you so much for the amazing class

Thank you for this! Considering getting the course in the near future 👌

I was fell sleep while watching RU-vid by the time woke up your tutorial video starting from the beginning, I have learnt today about the basic of stereo editing lesson and thank you very much. I've got all the basic main points that I kept in my head and that will never be disappeared. Subscribed for more learning 💫💫💫👍

I bought Live 10 Suite and have not fully committed since way back then... I've watched quite a few of your vids Oscar and your way of explaining things with visual references (drums and mixer) while obvious for most, have totally changed these simple concepts in Ableton for me... hugely appreciated!! You are Awesome 🙌. The information always remains the same, it's the teacher who makes the difference... Thank you so much.

this was the kind of teaching i was looking for thank you so much for putting the time into this it really helped me

Thanks so much! This was a great way to practice for beginners like me. I love your content. So helpful for me adventuring into the techno production realm.

You are such a great teacher.... I will finally start your course after seeing so many free content from you. Even if I am not a native english speaker, it is a please to listen to you!

In your last video i posted that i work in fl studio and now u have made this video! I love you man! Thank you so much!

What an awesome Video for someone who is transitioning from FL Studio to Ableton! You helped me immensely! Thank you so much.

As someone who is barely entering the realm of music production, my road starts here. I've been blindly watching your videos for a couple months now. Not quite understanding the terms and phrases but still interested nevertheless. I seriously can't thank you enough, Oscar. Your channel is a blessing and I'm infinitely thankful for all that you do. 🙏

My favorite youtube channel , so insight ful , been watching you for a while and youve truly helped and educated me over the years, legend

Absolutly fantastic, very well explained.

Great idea this, this is how you get new students.

Well explained and a pleasure to watch. Well done!

This is absolutely amazing, thank you so much. It's really hard to get into music production at the start. The only thing that threw me off a bit is the fact that it feels like I'm looking into a mirror who just knows much more than me. But same "hair cut", same beard (length, color, gray spots), eye color, even the shirt and black nails. 😅

Great quality and very interesting! Thanks!

This is the best explanation I have ever followed. Everything ready and clearly explained down to the last detail, and even from a fellow countryman! Super!!!

This was so useful ! After watching this you definitely want to see the next video ! THANK YOU !

This is simply great! Thanks!!

Just found you channel a short while ago your ability to explain concepts is amazing. I recently switched to Ableton and i always found it kind of mystifying but since watching your viedos its really useful and different.

wow a LOT of useful info condensed into a short time...super helpful

I have been soaking every video dry out there just hoping to get to that first milestone, dude thank you soooo much for this video. ❤❤❤

Thank you! This video finally made me feel like "I get it"! The Underdog School of Beats!

You are a fantastic teacher my friend! Thank you so so much!!

Wow!! Been goofing around with making music in software since cakewalk in the 90s. Just trial and error and I have always felt like there's tons that I'm missing and wish I knew. I just felt like a hack.Thanks so much for making this class and giving us a way to actually learn how to use these tools, develop some confidence, assuredness and start having a lot more fun. You're doing God's work Oscar!!

Cool. Learning :) Need to spend more time on your series. Excellent explainations :) Never got such theory before at all. Did it all on my own by experimenting and just trusting my inner voice :)

absolute bangeeeer ! ty so much

amazing, so clear and useful, ableton seemed magic for me but now its understandable, thanks mate!

Thanks for uploading this gold nugget Oscar, gonna buy the course👌

Excellent Video Tutorial !!

4:20 in the video .. and I can already feel that I will learn a lot in these five 5 weeks..

Hi, you are an amazing person, is unbelievable they way you teaching techno, I'm grateful that I've find you!!! Have a good one😊😊😊 💖💖💖

This is all I ever wanted 🤩

Just joined, this is the best thing out there

I believe history will remember your accomplishments as an artist and teacher at the same time!

Thanks Oscar for all your videos and all you've been doing for the electronic producers outthere that can't access to an official education.

Congratulations!

Awesome ! Thank you Oscar !

Fantastic teacher!!!

where is the sample pack that you said comes with the video? if I have to buy the full corse to access that pack I will let me know do you do live calls like zoom or live streams ??? thank you

thank you Johnny , clearly explained

This is just great, it would also be great if you can do a video on the last hour of producing a track. What are the key elements to look into before we can call a track finished ?

Excellent content

extremely well explained

thank you thank you thank you... i know electronic music software, i know ableton I love this course!!!

Super helpful. I've just today literally opened Ableton Live 11 Suite and I couldn't do anything coming from FL Studio.. Thanks 👍

thank you for everything! :)

I wish I found your videos earlier!!! You're an amazing teacher.

Great video!

YOU ARE A TRUE GREAT TEACHER

Hello man, tanks a lot for this tutorial !!! You're very good at teaching, thank you. Just one thing, I can't find the audio samples pack you mention in the video which should in the description. Can you help me with that ? Have a really good day.

thanks this is awesome •ᴗ•

You're good you're. Thankyou.

Very good teacher🙌🙌

Thank you so much.

Thank you very informative

You are ana mazing teacher mate. Not all experts can explain something well.

Great, plain English, clear & zoomed in explanations. Thank you

Tnx V much Very informative

THANK YOU MAAAAN

you are the best

damn man youre good👊🏽

great course and loving it. Please do let me know where can I find the samples that you are talking about. Many thanks

Im so fcking grateful for your videos 🔥

am I the only one who see this man a legend !?

1:38 most true statement :)

I love this and will be looking at the course. I assume the sample pack you allude to at 19:54 is only on the full course as no link here on YT?

Hi i think i am gonna buy your course as your YT free sample was very engaging and clearly explained. I am a bit confused about physical drum machines vs VST/instruments within DAW like Ableton. Is it better to stick to one source of creating drum beats (e.g. only within DAW?). Is there any advantage (apart from creativity and user experience) of having a physical drum machine? If i program a sentence on my drumbox e.g. Drumbrute ..will I be able to record /send it directly to Ableton as an audio clip or will i be able to send only midi tracks to Ableton and then I would need to "fill them up" with proper instruments taken from my DAW's library? (that would mean I would lose the original sound created by my drum machine right?)

Love your videos. Would love to buy the complete course but it's too expensive for me. Do you have any sales once in a while? Thanks

Hi oscar, very nice job. Learned a lot. One question: what is the next video following this one?

I felt like I could use it in the first 10-15 minutes of the video - it's the fl studio habit, I wanted to install the free version and try it, I couldn't get it to work, I got a bit of impatience, I gave up, i will try again, i hope :) thnx for nice tutorial

Hey, I can't find sample packs here, could you help me?

Hi Oscar, Thank you so much for bringing such a clear and constructive course! I had been building up my producing skills smoothly and stably. Looking forward to explore further. Just I have one problem and need more helps from you: I try to preview Underdog MIDI pack in Ableton, but the software reminds me that these samples are broken or not available due to being made by higher version of Ableton. (Mine is Live 10 Suite). Among 5 folders of the sample pack, the MIDI pack (number4) is the only one doesn't work in my Ableton. Is there any solution to fix this expect upgrading my Ableton? Thank you so much.

Amazing video! I'd like to ask if you could analyize Brutalismus 3000 songs? They are very fun and danceable.

thank you so much by any chance there's a course for down tempo and organic house ?

Loving this thank you. You skipped quickly over how to set midi clip to 1/16 I'm on a Mac and no right click on mouse option...I can't work it out or find it on google!

I downloaded Ableton live. Following your course, but I have no sounds coming from the Arrangement view. Also my favorites category has no scrolling option and I have no sample pack. Any ideas?

Hey Oscar! Perhaps you or some of your other viewers can help me! What order do you recommend a beginner watches your videos in? I'm brand new to production and I've just watched the 'First Hour of Making Electronic Music' video which was incredibly helpful. I'd love to subscribe to your course but it's a bit pricey for the time being so I'm relying on your RU-vid videos. I'm just trying to understand simple structures and song progressions, so videos Like Hi Hat strategies (gears) and Syncopation are super helpful because they tell me where to place those notes. However, I've been jumping around - for example, I started with Dotted Bassline then half way through switched to the Moroder's Bassline video, then to Learn Any Synth, to Subtractive Synth, to finally this video. I feel like I should have done that in completely opposite order. Please help a newbie out :) P.S I've commented this on your other posts, I don't mean to spam you, I'm just hoping some views would chime in.

Cant find a load drum pack like mentioned? Is this because i am not a paid member yet?

Quick question. Around 30:48 you crop the snare sample to one hit and then further "compress" it making the actual beat shorter. If you compress a waveform into a shorter time, wouldn't it also increase the frequency/pitch of the sound? I was a bit surprised that it didn't go up in pitch. Does Ableton do something to automatically adjust pitch when you compress a sample like this?

Hello my dear friend. When the master volume is red, do you use limiter at the master or not ? difficult question ? i would like to hear your opinion. thanks

How do I get the drum loops in the video ?

At 19:51 a samples pack is mentioned and I thought this was going to be in the links here. I do not find the samples anywhere and was wondering if anyone can tell me where they can be downloaded. Thx.

This is an amazing video, thanks a million

yes...using a mc707....im in the blind wow thank you so much ...bit hard but yes thank you for this.

Which course should i purchase after this video ? @OscarUnderdog ?
