FINALLY a tutorial that explained this in a way that made sense to me after a week-long war with Ableton Live Lite 11 trying to figure it out. So helpful -- thank you! Subscribed.
Exactly. Everyone else typically start well into the project and fly through it never addressing any hurdles that could come up. Or leave out what are extremely helpful tips. 3 minutes in and I’ve learned as much as 20 other vids I’ve watched collectively. This is a perfect tutorial
Thank you! There are those that know the stuff but can't teach it , and there are those who can teach and know the stuff. Your video is been a great lesson and well taught. 👍👍👍
At LAST!!!!!! A tut that shows how to create some beats in arrangement view with everything explained and worded for the beginner. You are a LIFE SAVER
I wish I could give you a hug for showing us all of this lol. Dude I have been using Ableton for yearssss and have not had the time to really sit and do this stuff. And you did it in 20 mins.
I wish I could have a tutorial from you on everything in life! The way you explain things with your tone of voice made this very easy to follow. It was very approachable and I was able to follow along while pausing to make sure I understood each step. This tutorial made me feel like I was actually being taught vs just shown, which I think is a lot more difficult to execute that people give it credit for. Thank YOU so much for making this video and helping me be confident in the magical Ableton world that is easy to get overwhelmed or lost in. Much love 👊
i rarely comment on yt, but this video is just amazing! so easy to follow, and makes it super fun to see the whole thing come to life. you're a lifesaver!!
Brilliant video!! Had no idea where to start and you have explained it all nicely - was able to replicate almost the exact sound as I went through the video. Thank you
Great video. I followed along faithfully and now my project looks and sounds exactly like this. Great way to learn the note positioning, clips and moving around the interface.
Thank you for your amazingly simple explanations. I was sweating for hours in live trying to do exactly this. It was driving me nuts. But finally all my questions have been answered here. Thank you so much for sharing this video and spreading your knowledge.
I LOVE the tutorial in the arrangement view... thanks so much. Just wondering why not make the whole beat via Midi track, as in - add kick and claps in there as well?
MAN!! Thanks so much for this tutorial. I have gone back over it a few times using diffent samples but trying to use the process you laid out here for the drums and that midi thing for the sample so I can use 808 bass and get that key changes. I like using Ableton with my Native instrument gear Kontakt S61 and the Mascine mk3 the Mascine 2.0 is nice and they have the BEST expansions Period. Thanks again.
Very instructional video, thank you. Can you please or someone help me understand when and why you decide to use MIDI tracks as opposed to Audio tracks to do your drums or percussion ideas. Thank you
Thank you very much for this tutorial. It feels like this is the only usable video here without a person in it who loves him-/herself so much that it hurts to watch.
is there a more beginner tutorial? I feel like there are a ton of things that work very different for you since you are not working off of a fresh install of ableton, you've a good number of presets that look very different from my ableton live 11
Nice tutorial thanks so much. What would you or anybody else say the perks are to starting a drum beat in arrangement view over session view? I like how i can make a drum beat live on session view but this video taught me a lot with editing individual audios and effects. I just wonder is there a more consistent work flow state way to blend the two to get advantages from both views. Maybe my question seems a bit scarce as I am just starting to get the hang of Ableton and seem to alternate between the two...
why you didnt drag all the elements into drum rack? or oposit drag every sample on pattern outside from drum rack? is there any significant difference between those two methods?
you lost me at 9:00.... "so I'm gonna place one there... and another one there... 'nother one there". notes just magically appear. how are you placing them there?
I'm a super noob with terrible beats but I'll try to explain this. Okay, so you see those black and white keys down at the bottom to the left and under the bottom brown line. Those are the instruments that are set up in the drum rack before he starts entering the 'notes'. In order to start entering the notes you need to highlight the section you want to enter notes, in this case, it's the top. Hit control + shift + M to change that top part into a MIDI clip so you can start entering the sounds at the bottom. So the bottom brown line represents the top brown line in the arrangement view. As you double-click on the bottom notes, they will show up top as well but you have to make sure the top has been selected or you will start accidentally entering notes for the other clips if they are MIDI clips. Hope this helps. I'm a total noob but I'm trying. I have zero musical knowledge so it will be a difficult climb for me but I'm determined.
how are you placing notes in that bottom section there when you did the midi clip at 8:48? when I click it merely highlights. I think I can hear you hitting a few keys when I listen closely to the sound but I still cannot get mine to look like yours
I'm very very new to music making in general, one thing I can't wrap my head around is when I'm trying to lay down a beat like this, the beat that's in my head never lands on the bars and I end up with a beat that sound good but doesn't line up with the bars and it throws everything off. I don't quite know how to make a beat thats in my head line up with the bars
I highlight the clip for the Tom 909 Low.aif and the clip view bar says "no clip selected" all other programs are closed and ctrl shift M does nothing.

This makes so much sense and easy to understand I wish I had found this years ago when I was still using 9 lite
Brilliant video!! Had no idea where to start and you have explained it all nicely - was able to replicate almost the exact sound as I went through the video. Thank you
Very cool, I followed along but did something very different. Thx mate
Great video. I followed along faithfully and now my project looks and sounds exactly like this. Great way to learn the note positioning, clips and moving around the interface.
Thank you so much, you cleared up so many simple navigation functions. Control-shift-M enabled the function I know had to exist. Brilliant. Thanks.
I just wanted to stop by to say TY So much for this tutorial- this is exactly the tutorial I’ve been looking for endlessly, so thank you so much!!!
I'm excited about the way you've explained everything and also answering the "why" questions to your explanations.

AMAZING TUTORIAL!!!!!
I'm ready to purchase this program but I'm really intimidated by this whole process!
Don't be intimidated, just follow what he does, "step by step". You'll get there.
Thank you very much for this tutorial. It feels like this is the only usable video here without a person in it who loves him-/herself so much that it hurts to watch.
Thanks, great insctructional video.
Had to let you know that there were some helpful parts in this video especially all of the shortcut tips

Thanks Brother!
very helpful thanks
Fantastic Tutorial! :)
You're the GOAT
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Any reason why you don't put the kick sample in a drum rack also like you do the hats / toms?
You can but you dont have to...
I would say most people Group it with the Bass & Mix the Kick & Bass together .
Thank you!!!
Sounds Nice, Thanks.
Thank you.👍
t.h.x. for this Tutorial. Subscribed ! ✌
best video ever !!!
Seems like a lot of the work is done with the mouse, can you use a midi controller?
is there a more beginner tutorial? I feel like there are a ton of things that work very different for you since you are not working off of a fresh install of ableton, you've a good number of presets that look very different from my ableton live 11
Thanks a lot, very helpfull

Great stuff thanks..
Awesome stuff! Subbed!
everything is clear 😀👍

never mind I figured it out. you're actually double clicking
You need more subs
Please make a video on video scoring for short movies please....

I don't quite know how to make a beat thats in my head line up with the bars
How do I place the hihats after putting them in the rack?
Can you merge the separate tracks into One Single Compiled Drum track?
I highlight the clip for the Tom 909 Low.aif and the clip view bar says "no clip selected" all other programs are closed and ctrl shift M does nothing.
