    This actually made sense. You're far more organic than all the others who sound like zombies just repeating the manual as if they're in love with the program itself more than actually making any music.

    This video was exactly what I needed! I've been using FL for around 6 years and just started getting into DnB and wanted to learn Ableton. I felt like I was at square one again when I opened it up, just totally lost on how to do everything. But so many of these beginner videos aren't for people new to Ableton, they're for people new to music. Soooo dumbed down and explaining stupid things like what bpm is or what a measure is. I just needed to know some useful shortcuts and generally how things work in Ableton and this video got me setup to finish a beat in like an hour after never using Ableton before. Cheers man, this shit rocked
