    This is it! I watched a bunch of "Learn Ableton in 15 Minutes" videos that just left me confused or frustrated. I am so glad I set aside the time to watch this tutorial. Awesome!
  • @villavasto
    For all the folks looking to "dominate" Ableton Live 11, this is a must-look at learning it. I cannot believe the time, clarity, and attention to detail that this video has created. It is simply the best, in my view, and it is so easy to follow. Just commit the time to it and keep revisiting it, and you will master Ableton Live! Excellent job, folks, and thanks for doing this!!!

    Hey Tomas, I have to compliment you: I have been working in music production for 30 years now, and while I am right now in the phase of restructuring my studio (and I still got no intern that crawls for me under the Desks), this course came randomly up in the mighty YT Algorithm. I usually find these tutorials so annoying, boring, fake, or just screaming between the lines of what some try to sell me, that I can't stand it if I am doing work with a little focus needed.
    But this was not that. Even doing Audio Network and Server Stuff your voice somehow found a way thru, and I ESPECIALLY AM IMPRESSED, how you still manage to explain every little step, that must be bread and butter for years. I also had to laugh out loud, when you, totally serious, explained that a microphone only will be sent on one channel, even if it's in some stereo track...but.OF COURSE. Someone who is starting totally fresh...how should he know.

    So, my friend, and now that I did this, and finished my beer..... let's crawl back into the server room.

  • The best ableton tutorial : structured, logical, with a clear language, with step by step objectives, simple demonstrations, not as all these rough small amateur tutorials which contaminate youtube. Good job !
  • @Stevercakes
    Thank you for sharing this with everyone. 20 minutes in and I'm feeling like i'm making progress on actually learning how to use the software. It's very daunting as a beginner but you're breaking everything to the bare bones. Much appreciated. Glad I stumbled upon this video.
  • @fiore1394
    This is the best Ableton tutorial on Youtube, hands down. I can't thank you enough.
  • @gravityisahat
    I have completed lots of YouTube software tutorials - something of a mixed bag - I genuinely believe this to be the best produced structured paced and delivered tutorial I have encountered. Thank you
  • I'm honestly amazed at how much information I just picked up without experiencing a single moment of confusion. You guys are awesome. Thank you so much 🙏
  • @jasondavis3075
    7 minutes in, and this is by far the most beginner friendly guide that i've been looking for! Thank you :]
  • @chelseaz.3584
    Thank you so much for this tutorial, having the opportunity to follow along and make tracks as you talk through makes all the difference.
  • My first reaction was "Are you crazy? a 2 hour video on YouTube? F' that". But I still watched it and oh boy was it worth it!
  • @TheRedAnvil40
    This made me buy the course. I'm 30 lessons in and literally by lesson 5 I was like "why didn't I do this before" he really makes it so easy to understand and you can follow along. I'd suggest getting a second screen so you can mess with ableton and watch the lessons though. It'd be hard if I didn't have two.
  • @spi666
    Thank you so much for this very thorough walkthrough of this software. I watched the entire video and can now say I feel MUCH more confident in using Ableton Live 11. A huge thank you for putting this together. It was a lot of work for you guys and you did a fantastic job!
  • @biddy105
    Excellent Refresher tutorial after taking a break from Ableton. Back on track in no time! Thank you 👍🏻
  • @Zachliddick
    This video has been so helpful. Thank you so much. You obviously spent a lot of time with it. And I appreciate it so much!
  • This is a perfect video to start your Ableton journey. 100% beginner's friendly. Thanks to the creator for this awesome lesson ❤️
  • @user-pk1gc3ji9b
    I am a beginner, Hebrew speaking user, and yet this guide was so friendly and easy to understand. Very generous amount of information. I bought the full course.
  • Thanks a lot for the perfect "Beginner tutorial" ! Step by step and with a lot of detail, now finally got the confidence to go further with Ableton. Thanks guys ;)
  • @HarryOsirian
    You guys are legends!. Been looking for a comprehensive tutorial and I believe yours is the easiest to follow for absolute beginners. Thank you 🙂
  • As many on here will confirm, coming to Ableton from other DAW's is no easy thing ! I rarely leave comments on videos but am compelled to record out here that I tried out many of the " quick start" videos as well as other longer Ableton training videos - even tried to read the manual - but gave up cause there is at times too much detail to get past to get to the "meat" ( at least for how my mind works!). This video is just the right mix of Ableton concept explanation and " need to know at this stage" feature explanation to get me to a point where I can honestly start out on my own without getting frustrated every few minutes, cause something didn't work out as per the video I'd just seen ( probably needed some prior extra setting done, or the explanation didn't cover some of the common use cases) . Just things like playing midi or audio samples between arrangement and session views used to be hard to grasp cause the concepts between the two views was not well explained like on here. I got a lot of misunderstandings cleared up. Thanks so much ! I bought the course - tbh- just as a thank you for now!! ( and as a safe guard in case I still have some questions ....later!!) 🙏
