If you are going to spend time making music, just spend a little bit of time learning music theory. I think of it like knowing a map. You can go for a ride, not knowing where you are going, and that can be fun. But if you what to know where all places you are realy intrested in are, and what is the best way to get there, get a map. If you know just a bit of theory, you music will be so much more effective. People spend a lot of time learning production, and mixing/mastring. I have spent a lot of time learning about production, mixing, and mastring, but the time learning music theory is just as, if not more effective. It's like having a cheat code, knowing what notes/chords to use, and just as important what order to put them, to get exactly what result you want.
I mean I agree, music theory is extremely valuable and I'm a big fan of continually learning it myself. I don't mean to suggest that anyone shouldn't learn it. I also love generative tools like this that utilize theory on their own, because the immediacy of having seeds for ideas spit out like this can be very helpful for inspiration, whether you're well versed in theory or not.
I haven't seen many beginner Ableton guides, so I can't speak for their quality. But I usually like the content from this guy, so his is worth a shot: ruclips.net/video/okhZ65RbTe8/видео.html

@@PeterRobotMusicthanks so much! Love your channel!
@@angelgcastro1 Appreciate it!
The chord generator on the PML website is different to the one on the video.
How so? I made some modifications to it that you can follow @1:25, or are you seeing something else?
@PeterRobotMusic The video shows a rack with 16 macros. The one I have just downloaded has 8.
