Last month, I bitched on the Ableton forum that, despite an enormous number of Live tutorials, it was hard to find one that was truly for beginners. I spent weeks struggling with one "course" after the other, constantly getting roadblocked when the speaker referred to some function, icon, or operation that he hadn't explained in earlier lessons. Sloppy lecturers always seemed to assume, sooner or later in a series, that a "beginner" would already know how to make some icon appear and then know to click that icon to perform some function or setting that needed to be performed behind-the-scenes in order to continue following the tutorial. For this reason, I found myself needing an entire afternoon to get through 5 minutes of a "beginner" video. And I'm not merely a clueless newbie -- I've been using music software since, jeez, the first version of Cakewalk. Well, Taetro is the exception. Dude, you're the Holy Grail. Through 7 of his beginner lessons, I've had to stop only 2 or 3 times, and those all in the first lesson or two. I'm VERY impressed with the thought and skill that went into organizing and presenting this material. I'm now pretty confident -- FINALLY! -- that I can use the Live Suite to perform the mixing & mastering operations I'm interested in. Congratulations, Taetro! You should be proud of what you've created here. Your series stands head and shoulders above any of the others I've tried to get through -- including those produced by Ableton itself! Nice friggin' job. Thank you!!
In last five years I've watched a ton of videos on learning Ableton, none of them were as helpful and eye opening as much as your videos are! one of the reasons that I was not able to make music because I couldn't use Ableton properly! I am watching the series over and over each time I notice something new in it, meanwhile the way you are teaching it feels like hanging out with you, I don't think anyone else have it explain better than you across the internet! Cheers mate
Taetro, I am a 14 yo musician and I am starting to get into producing. I found out that my audio interface came with ableton live lite and was so excited! When I opened it however, I knew I was in for the long haul. I watched a couple videos about getting started, but having to jump from teacher to teacher, concept to concept, it was so overwhelming. Just yesterday I stumbled on your video series and decided to spend my weekend powering through all of them. I was shocked by how good you are at teaching and how helpful all this is. Thank you for helping to equip a young musician, I look forward to actually being able to make music in ableton now lol. Thanks a lot man, Den
All of your tutorials are so great, but this one really tied it all together for me. I've been struggling to wrap my head around streamlining the workflow and organizing my stuff, and this answered a ton of my lingering questions. Thank you so much for this series (and thanks to DistroKid for supporting it)!
This has been such a great journey for me personally. I am certain for many in the fututre. Thanks again for the effort. Looking forward to whats to come.
Oh man I found ur channel before finding out about live, so now after chosing ableton as my own new daw, I realized out you use ableton aswell and I'm really glad. This is a great channel!
I am a big fan of templates. I did not change the default template, instead I just open Live, and choose a template depending to the kind of music I want to make. I would like to see the possibility to make more collections, and/or have the ability to make nested collection lists.
hello everyone , one quick question , if you download samples from any website for example splice, do we need to add eq and compressor or any other to make the sample look better or mostly they are adjust already with all this things ? thank you
Hey man i need your help because this is driving me crazy. I am trying to find out what the best export settings are on ableton for spotify as well as what the best settings are for running your session up to the point where you would export it for spotify. would you want to run your session in 48khz - 32bit, then once you have mixed & mastered your song, you export it at a downsampled 44.1khz & a dithered 16bit or 24bit file? (which bit?) & also which dither option would you want to use? triangular? I cant believe there's not one good video on youtube about proper export settings on ableton for streaming, you can be the first!
hey man how are guitars in Ableton, Im mostly doing electronic music with it but Im also a guitarist and hoping its got good sounds and not awful latency, Ill use my interface.....I was going to get Amplitube 5 but some ppl say its too heavy on cpu with Ableton, so how is Ableton Suite with guitar
Is there a way to save my config for external VSTs permanently if I bind my knobs to specific parameters so that I don't have to configure it everytime I load up the Instrument?
ok so I'm a total beginner and just like to mess around for fun, loving the guide helping me get started but can anyone pls tell me the difference between live 11 intro and live 11 standard?
I didn't actually see a link in the description for the video that details the creation of the "Basic Audio Processing" rack, but if anyone else is looking for it, I found it here: ruclips.net/video/8UdUGn_bLAA/видео.html
Hey Taetro is there a way of personalising the UI of Ableton? like having the Midi and Audio Track Viewer or " inspector " on the left and the browser on the right or undocking the mixer havin that on another screen? i just got the trial but i am allready happy so i probably will at some point guy it but havin the " inspector " on the right is unusual and it sort of disturbs me is there a way ? i did not find any or maybe i looked at the wrong place thank you if you do reply
Glad you’re getting into Ableton Live! There’s not really a way to customize the UI - you can toggle things on and off, but you can’t rearrange the windows unfortunately. There is second screen support which could help separate things tho!
@@Taetro Thnx alot well actualy i was thinking how will i see the trakcs while the inspector is in my way but saw not only the whole arrangement can be made msmaller but actualy the whole thing moves so the inspector does not realy stay in may way. However i just installed the trial yesterday and looove it ...cant understand why so many say the workflow is to complicated i did not feel one bit unconfortable using it quite the opposite. but please do me a favor and keep on making videos in explaining things because there are a whole lot of things to learn ...allthough i allready made a short track today

this comment is very meaningful to me. Thanks Zameer. I hope I can keep making videos that are just as helpful

Great series! Got an MPK Mini for Christmas and Ableton free trial.. this series is by FAR the best I could find on RUclips 👏
All of your tutorials are so great, but this one really tied it all together for me. I've been struggling to wrap my head around streamlining the workflow and organizing my stuff, and this answered a ton of my lingering questions. Thank you so much for this series (and thanks to DistroKid for supporting it)!
You are an absolute gem Taetro! Thanks for the amazing tutorials, you're the best !
You are an extremely good teacher and explain things brilliantly.

I am a big fan of templates. I did not change the default template, instead I just open Live, and choose a template depending to the kind of music I want to make. I would like to see the possibility to make more collections, and/or have the ability to make nested collection lists.
Taetro is my savior!
Very nice clear tutorial. Thank you!!

thank you so much Taeto, I've didnt learn anything till I've found you❤🔥
Very helpful for sure. I love this series besides music theory
@5:55 "The TRUTH is my friend, I've been LYING to you" - Taetro 🤣 But brilliant video ! Life saver !
Great video! I didn’t know about those track default options.
Taetro thank you very much for the insights and inspiration. Much love and respect 👍👍👍
Always excellent advice
hello everyone , one quick question , if you download samples from any website for example splice, do we need to add eq and compressor or any other to make the sample look better or mostly they are adjust already with all this things ? thank you
Thank you so much, your videos very helpful and informative!!!
Thanks TAETRO!!
is there a way, on session view, to scroll through tracks individually and launch different clips in different positions?
Thank you for this information, u know some people buy courses and pay for very same things that u show here
💎 track defaults… thank you!
In 07:50 After lowering the volume for some headroom, how do you make the sound nice and loud in the end?
@@douglasfugaziI'm still confused
big Thumbs Up! thx dude

Thanks for all the great advice! Wondering...which edition of Ableton Live 11 are you using in your recent tutorials? Lite? Standard? Suite? Thanks!
Always the latest version of suite. Thanks for watching Brett!
Thanks again!
amazing!
hey man how are guitars in Ableton, Im mostly doing electronic music with it but Im also a guitarist and hoping its got good sounds and not awful latency, Ill use my interface.....I was going to get Amplitube 5 but some ppl say its too heavy on cpu with Ableton, so how is Ableton Suite with guitar
Education is the key for betterment ✍🏾
Is there a way to save my config for external VSTs permanently if I bind my knobs to specific parameters so that I don't have to configure it everytime I load up the Instrument?
Yesterday i didn't know how to connect my launchpad today i feel like david guetto thank you 🤪😁
ok so I'm a total beginner and just like to mess around for fun, loving the guide helping me get started but can anyone pls tell me the difference between live 11 intro and live 11 standard?
ableton's website has a full comparison chart!
Mentor 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Thanks a lot!
where did you get your shirt?
I didn't actually see a link in the description for the video that details the creation of the "Basic Audio Processing" rack, but if anyone else is looking for it, I found it here: ruclips.net/video/8UdUGn_bLAA/видео.html
thank you - i messed up the description for this one and just added it!

what theme/skin are you using?
I have got Ableton live LITE - is it absolutely necessary to get a full version?
Use LITE until there’s something you need in the full version. Eventually it will be necessary
Woah I set my default gain to -12 too. great minds think alike
I just do a -6 on the master instead of all of the tracks . Same effect
it's actually not the same effect - your tracks can be clipping and just turning down the master won't change that.
I just switched to ableton and 💀, nah brah, I need help. So here I am.
NEWS!!! I’m back to FL Studio xD 💀
😀
Too much crashing for me.....still looking for something robust and simple.
16th comment! 🙃
👏👏👏👏
Ah. I thought I was first. You're first, and I'm second. 😬🤓😅✊🔥🔥
Time stamps are for 34 minutes but the video has 26 ?
Ahh sorry! Those the previous videos time stamps. I’ll have new ones up soon!
First. :3
Second. :3* lol
