For real though, NEW USER FRIENDLY, like, I know next to nothing about musical theory. He uses all stock sounds and truly wants to educate you with his videos. No click bait title, no half-assed explanation where he flies through the lesson leaving you confused, and isn't doing this to advertise a sample pack you have to buy to follow along in the lesson. This man is here because he genuinely wants us to learn.
@@Somuchtosay-l3u There are different ways to record, and Live keeps being confusing for some time on that topic. How many times everyone lost a recording, be it audio or midi, be it a composition or automations? Dozen of times before you get used to it. But what i wanted to tell you is, you're not going to be in ease in any DAW after 2 or 3 videos!
noticed this with way too many other 'tutorial' videos. 'oh yea first you just gotta do this, which is included in my sample pack'. i appreciate the recognition
Haven't touched a DAW in 9 years and today just felt like downloading the Ableton 12 trial. Thank you for this intro, this takes tons of guesswork out of beginning stages!
Absolute legend man, I'm just getting into making the music I've been listening to for decades and your whole channel is an absolute treasure trove of useful information.
Switching over from FLStudio right now after about 4 years of "mastering" that DAW. And I felt severely limited eventually. Got my hands on Ableton today and your Tutorial is a great help. A lot of similarities between the programs, but it's the simple things that Ableton does the most different. In a way I like, to be honest. And I can already tell I will enjoy the workflow with Ableton a lot more than FLStudio. It served me well. I think its THE daw to learn daws. But Ableton is just so... clean, I dont know how else to put it.
Any updates? 👀 also what version of each do you have? I have fl producer but I want to switch to ableton, the price difference between versions is steep though, I want to know which version is best to start with!
I used fl studio since 2011 and i felt super limited and in 2015 i decided to use ableton live and booom , my ideas got more and more better my organization went better and i think that was the best thing i ever do , so congratulation for finally switch to the real music produccion world🎉
FL studio being the best DAW to learn DAWS us actually the opposite of truth. It's one of the easier DAWS to learn, but the format is so uniquely it's own, what you learn is not very transferable to other DAWS, unlike Pro Tools, Reaper or Ableton. The best DAWS that teach you to be the most effective with DAWS universally would actually be something more like Reaper - seeing as how learning it's very un-user friendly UI will make you super prepared to learn new DAWS.
Went through the same process. Used FL to start. But I went to a music production class that only used Ableton. I understood the process better and ideas were easier to develop. FL is muuuuuuch better now than in 2016, and I jump in on occasion to change things up & use its instruments to create ideas, then drag back to Ableton. Every daw is just a tool for you to use however it works best for you.
Same here - I had Live 11 90 day Trial as my very 1st DAW. Then I got an M32 Komplete Kontrol 🎹 with Lite. The 8 Track is too limiting after using licensed FL Studio. But WOW after 2.5yrs mastering FL, with Ableton familiarity, going to the 30 day Live 12 Full Licence is just INSANELY efficient. My orphaned samples from old projects are now becoming the nucleus of new tracks, I can play my instruments straight into the Audio Channels or MIDI. Assuming unlimited Creativity, the difference is probably a 700% increase in efficiency of Production (7x). ✌🏻
Where have you been all my life!? I am a first time DAW user and I have been trying to teach myself how to use Ableton off and on for the past 4 years. Every time I decided to give it another try, and go looking for a decent tutorial video I'd end up feeling stupid and extremely frustrated. I am so grateful to have stumbled across your video! You are amazing and I appreciate you.
Another cool thing you can do is take time to learn each audio effect and instrument. IMO if you learn all the goodies Ableton offers, you’ll be the king of CPU. 😂 especially the 3 band channel EQ they have. Quick on the go eq!
As an Fl Studio user for the past 3 years, I've been wanting to make the switch to Ableton. It was definitely a little overwhelming at first. After watching your video, and seeing you break down the basics in such a simple and educational way has boosted my confidence! Thanks so much for this Ethan! You're amazing!
I'm a choral composer and vocalist in my day job with Cantus. I've wanted for years to dig into Ableton because I'd love to create parodies/comedy songs on my own outside of Cantus' usual Covers concerts. I can't stress enough how amazingly helpful your videos are to someone steeped in "traditional" music. As others have said, no clickbait, truly helping us get through step-by-step. Everything is laid out well but not taught like we're dumb. It's just such a great resource. Thank you Ethan Davis!!!
I have been searching for tutorial videos for weeks and this is the first video that has walked me through the program without overwhelming me. Thank you!
This is exactly the kind of introduction I was looking for! I have been stuck for weeks now trying to figure out how to use some of the new 12 features and you taught me how to be more productive with Ableton in general. Thank you, Ethan!
been using fl studio for about 5 years. just about to go full send on a switch to ableton and this video definitely helped me get a better grasp on the interface than i did when i tried it 3 years ago.
I've been using ableton for a few years, and watching this video taught me at least 10 things I didn't know! Thanks Ethan :) Most helpful: Default template & limiter
Whow, really spot on and just in the perfect speed without any BS and blah blah... I think I took more from this 22 minutes than I would've gotten from virtually 80% of hour long tutz here on YT... thanks a million, man! consider me subscribed and prolly more... 🙏🏽
I just bought Abelton 12 after being on FL Studion since 2018. Your tutorial really surprised me and I love your teaching methods. Thanks for making me laugh and teaching me the basics! Keep up the amazing work!!!!!
8 months later, and I HAD to comment again lol! Your teaching style is amazing, and how you broke things down made it EXTREMELY easy to pick up, and I'm getting more excited as the video goes because it's finally clicking 💡 I have a Push 3 now, and I wanna learn this information like Neo in the Matrix. I appreciate you cousin (my last name is Davis😂), and thank you for sharing!!!🙏🏾✊🏾💚
Dude I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned from you in just a short space of time! Thank you for doing this for all of us. I’ll have to send you my songs to hear them once they’re ready, once they’re done, thanks to your tutorials and all!!
Thank you so much for the new Live 12 walk through. I really appreciate your time and showing us all the new basic features. Thanks again Ethan. Salute.
I've wanted to buy Abelton, but to be honest, I've been intimidated by it, but this video is AMAZING. Thank you for breaking it down to fragments that I can easily understand. Much appreciated!🙏🏾✊🏾💚
Thanks for putting this video together! It's been a year or more since I used Ableton and just upgraded to version 12. This video was a great refresher course on the basics for an old dude. :)
Hi Ethan Thank you for your incredible beginner’s tutorial on Ableton Live. Your clear explanations and practical examples made it easy for me to understand the basics and get started with the software. It has really inspired me to dive deeper into music production. Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge! I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos. Best regards
Just a late starter here, but coming from film editing, your energy - and thus your videos, are not just instructions but nourishment for creativity, thank you!
Just wanted to drop a thank you for this video. I just decided to pickup music production again. I had started on FruityLoops when I was young (FL Studio now) and then had moved on to Reason. After a long hiatus I wanted to get back into it but didn’t wanna use those DAWs because they felt unprofessional. Was trying to decide between Logic and Ableton and figured I’d check out some tutorials and this was perfect! Fantastic work. You’ve gotten yourself a subscribe the moment you asked for it. Cheers!
Many thanks for this. I got a Keylab for Christmas which came with Ableton 12 Lite and I couldn't figure out how to get the program to acknowledge the input/play the output. Even though you didn't go into it, your mention of plugins bit got me thinking and solved my issue where searches have failed. Your other advice is going to come in handy, although I will probably have to rewatch and make notes.
Thank you a bunch I have a friend who is really into this and I wanted to show them im passionate about making music too thanks for making this so simple for me to go through and encouraging me along the way too!
Dude... I havent even start the actual tutorial portion yet but I have to say, you are probably already my favorite person on youtube... for some reason your videos are stress removing lmao
I viewed a lot of videos about Ableton 12, but I chose this to begin learning. It is straightforward, teaches the basics, shows good features and the essentials to kick the ground and move. So thank you for sharing this. I am now jumping to your Music Theory video.
Thanks so much Ethan - I'm starting this endeavor in my 60s 🤣, but I'm determined and your videos really help me a lot! (Even though I have to replay a few times to totally catch what you said). This was great as I am new to all of this. Thanks again!
WOW, this was extremely helpful! I appreciate that you got right to it and provided so many helpful instructions. I'm feeling less intimidated by Ableton and more excited to play around. Thank you!
Thanks to this video, I am now an Ableton Live expert. (I don't even own Ableton yet) lol. All jokes aside, great video man, I have been a Logic Pro user for two years and recently wanted to expand my knowledge in various DAW's. And this video made me feel pretty comfortable with starting up on Ableton.
Ehi thank you very much for this super clear tutorial. Finally someone who says everything basics about Ableton without making it intimidating! I'm a total beginner producer (I was used to sing and songwrite), so... do you suggest me to buy the intro, the standard or the suite version? Just to tell you (in order to give me a better answer), I want to produce electronic/almost techno music, like old school techno, so... yeah... I need an advice 😅 Keep going!
Super helpful video - thank you! Watching this and memorizing the hotkeys made a world of difference in what surely would've been a lost, frustrating journey had I decided to keep messing around.
Great tutorial to get started with the most basic but important info in Ableton Live. I'm a FL user but already bought Live a few years ago but never got into it. Due to some limitations in FL I wanted to try again and this video was the spark to get going again. Thanks a lot!
What a great tutorial for beginners! It's a bit overwhelming to see such a busy screen. Honestly, I felt defeated before even trying. 😢 I'm really glad I found your video! Feeling inspired and hopeful again! Thank you so much!
I am using LMMS for some years now and can't find some tutorials that I want. Although I managed how to work with it but, I think I need a newer DAW to work with. I am seeing lots of beginners using Ableton. Luckily, when I search for tutorial, yours pop-out first. I am satisfied with the tutorial, and looking forward for myself playing around Ableton. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this introduction to Ableton. When I started it for the first time I was overwhelmed but with your video it's much easier to find a start. Thank you!
This is exactly what I've been looking for and it is just so amazing, thank you loads for sharing it with us! You are truly a GODSEND and simply amazing!!!😊♥ More power and God Bless!!!
been using FL Studio for 12+ years but trying to collab with other producers is making me feel like the Samsung guy in the group chat. gonna have to hop on the Ableton train. thanks for this!
I'm using FL Studio for years now, but recently downloaded Ableton Lite which came with a MIDI keyboard a few years back. Mixing was kinda a struggle but this tutorial is really straight forward and helped me to figure some things out. I don't think I'm gonna switch, but learning things is always good!
just switched to ableton because i was using reaper and hated the way it works, i got a free copy of live lite 12 for buying a focusrite scarlett 2i2 and have been struggling with how to get around ableton's interface. this cleared up most of the questions i had so thank you!!
Thankyou for being straightforward and quick, ive been using reason 12/ reason since i was 14, before that a few years of fl studio when it was called fruity loops still! I started producing music in 6th grade and im 34 now, im tired of reason 12 being a monthly payment, ive had an ableton lite license for awhile and im finally trying to learn it , so im not a total rookie, but ableton compared to reason is confusing without any help, so a video like this is great 👌
Thanks for the tutorial Ethan! But what I liked the most about this video is not the guide and the protips, but your genuine personality. I could tell by your facial expressions, body language, and the way you talk, that you're a very kind and friendly soul. RESPECT.
This was actually really comprehensive and informative. I’ve made like 20 songs on garage band, but I’ve kinda been looking for something better, with more options, but they’re typically confusing to understand. Thanks for this bomb video
Have been thinking about getting ableton as i want to start making my own music as ive recently started dj'ing again but was worried it would be too much for me to understand but this video has put me right at ease with making the purchase and getting started. For this i thank you and you definitely deserve my sub. Thanks again.
Hi Ethan. I'm a newbie to Ableton and music production. Hearing your song come together made my day - so cool! I'll be putting your tips into practice. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
You are the man! This is SUCH an amazing free resource. Thank you so much for taking the time and putting in the effort to make this. I've owned my copy of Ableton for the last 7 years and never got around to using it. This vidoe is perfect. I'm about to start dropping some heat out here. Also LMFAO @ 20:45
This is exactly what I need. I do worship at my church and I have to get a clip to the drummer and I’ve been a little bit intimidated by able to because I started off on GarageBand and I’m trying to learn Eli platinum. I know if I’m gonna be working in the church circuitis to go to DAW. Thank you again!
Good stuff. Was producing music about a decade ago using Logic, getting back into it but switching over the Ableton, this was a useful starter for 10 will definitely check out some other vids... and thanks, I'll have your little house beat in my head all day now 😅 "lets go, come on, get down move your body"
thank you for your videos i tried doing this last year but was getting frustrated so thought id try again. your videos are very helpful. I'm hoping this time around i will do much better. thanks again
This was awesome, clean, and very easy to understand. A great walk through and the right amount of thorough. That last statement spoke directly to me. Thank you, big bro! 🫡🫡🫡
Wow for someone who knew nothing about making music this is awesome. I’m always looking for a challenge and this seemed like a fun one. I learned a lot in a little amount of time! Great video!

i still dont know how to download and install the file
I'm a new user and I watched 2 beginner videos of his. I'm just as lost as before I started.
@@seeya101oliASWHDFIL update i know how to record audio. I’m still learning how to record midi I don’t know why i am not getting it

out of all the DAW online teachers, you are by far the best teacher at explaning each and every detail and UI. You just got yourself a subscriber
Wish you had this vid years ago! Took me so long just to figure out and learn the basics that you showed in 20 mins!! Thanks
Another cool thing you can do is take time to learn each audio effect and instrument. IMO if you learn all
the goodies Ableton offers, you’ll be the king of CPU. 😂 especially the 3 band channel EQ they have.

Thank you so much Ethan! I'm getting back to music production after 20 years.
Thank you so much for the new Live 12 walk through. I really appreciate your time and showing us all the new basic features. Thanks again Ethan. Salute.
This was a nice (breezy) walk through. I've used Logic Audio for years, so this quick overview was just what the doctor ordered.
I've wanted to buy Abelton, but to be honest, I've been intimidated by it, but this video is AMAZING. Thank you for breaking it down to fragments that I can easily understand. Much appreciated!🙏🏾✊🏾💚
Happy to help! You got this!
Thank you so much! I'm migrating from other DAW and I needed a quick overview how basic stuff is done in Ableton. Amazing! Thanks!
Thanks for putting this video together! It's been a year or more since I used Ableton and just upgraded to version 12. This video was a great refresher course on the basics for an old dude. :)
Thank you for this video, I haven’t touched a DAW for a decade and this is just what I needed to jump straight back in. Subscribed 😊
My mind was blown by the Ableton possibilities and you did that in first 7 minutes of video. THANKS!!!!!
Love this guy's positive vibes and how quick he goes through the tutorials but in a way that's easy to understand :)
this video is excellent, I spent a whole day watching it on repeat and now I totally get ableton, great amount of detail and kept simple
Because of you I started producing in Ableton instead of FL studio. Your video's are so clear and calm, love following these. Keep up the work :)

This was soooooo helpful! I have to learn Ableton in basically a few days in order to complete a project. Your video has saved me so much time!
THANK YOU!!!!!! Your videos are such a blessing for me as a new bedroom dj/producer.
just switched to ableton because i was using reaper and hated the way it works, i got a free copy of live lite 12 for buying a focusrite scarlett 2i2 and have been struggling with how to get around ableton's interface. this cleared up most of the questions i had so thank you!!
You’ve a great teaching style. So easy to follow. Looking forward to working through this. 🎉
Just downloaded Ableton today. I am very excited starting this music journey. And you help me with the first steps. Thank you!
Thankyou for being straightforward and quick, ive been using reason 12/ reason since i was 14, before that a few years of fl studio when it was called fruity loops still! I started producing music in 6th grade and im 34 now,

I'm brand new to Ableton and this has been absolutely incredible! Thank you for this!
Recording audio with off selected instead of auto will cancel that buffer delay==direct monitoring. And can use the sends still for reverb or delay
Thank You!!! You Absolute Legend!! I Love the way you teach!!! I'm so excited to start producing!!!
This was actually really comprehensive and informative. I’ve made like 20 songs on garage band, but I’ve kinda been looking for something better, with more options, but they’re typically confusing to understand. Thanks for this bomb video
Just switched from FL, I love this kind of content from you!
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! Finally getting into producing and this was super helpful
Have been thinking about getting ableton as i want to start making my own music as ive recently started dj'ing again but was worried it would be too much for me to understand but this video has put me right at ease with making the purchase and getting started. For this i thank you and you definitely deserve my sub. Thanks again.
Thank you ED 👏👏 Greetings from Brazil.
Hi Ethan. I'm a newbie to Ableton and music production. Hearing your song come together made my day - so cool! I'll be putting your tips into practice. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
Super helpful video. One thing 9:47 midi tracks also for control of external hardware synths.
I've watched a few tutorial before, but this one actually made sense to me. You're an awesome teacher thanks.
This is just what I needed. Someone to start from point A and go to point B.
You are the man! This is SUCH an amazing free resource. Thank you so much for taking the time and putting in the effort to make this. I've owned my copy of Ableton for the last 7 years and never got around to using it. This vidoe is perfect. I'm about to start dropping some heat out here.
Also LMFAO @ 20:45
love this, especially the parts about ideas flowing out of one's mind straight to the speakers
Just opened my own record label and found this to be very helpful! Thank you!
I learned more about Ableton in 22 minutes than I did in 6 years recording just Audio. Thank you.
:O wow!! happy to help
This guy is awesome. I want to start learning this and he is great teacher
This is exactly what I need. I do worship at my church and I have to get a clip to the drummer and I’ve been a little bit intimidated by able to because I started off on GarageBand and I’m trying to learn Eli platinum. I know if I’m gonna be working in the church circuitis to go to DAW. Thank you again!
Ethan,you are amazing!
I'm grateful for your inspiration🙏🏻
Good stuff. Was producing music about a decade ago using Logic, getting back into it but switching over the Ableton, this was a useful starter for 10 will definitely check out some other vids... and thanks, I'll have your little house beat in my head all day now 😅 "lets go, come on, get down move your body"
love you brother for your selfless work no words to appreciate you...
Thanks for helping expedite the new Volt 2/Ableton Live 12 set up I'm working with! Excited to get recording😍
Thanks Ethan, always great advice 🔝

This was awesome, clean, and very easy to understand. A great walk through and the right amount of thorough. That last statement spoke directly to me. Thank you, big bro! 🫡🫡🫡
Just downloaded suite . Haven't played with beats since DJing was two sl1200's and actual vinyl. Actual midi cables everywhere. Very excited
Awesome walkthrough. Great for beginners, those new to Ableton or anyone who’s had a big break and needs to get back in the swing of things.
Wow for someone who knew nothing about making music this is awesome. I’m always looking for a challenge and this seemed like a fun one. I learned a lot in a little amount of time! Great video!
From Cubase, Protools, Dorico finally now learning Ableton Live 12 Suite.

This is exactly what i needed.... Thank YOU! Amazing Explanation
