I had the pleasure of having Phelan as a tutor, friend and mentor for 4 years at uni! He’s an absolute legend! Such a nice guy, insanely intelligent, a great teacher, very funny and entertaining and extremely knowledgeable over a wide range of topics including deep spiritual-existential-ancient world-psychology-mystic phenomena etc etc! This guy is seriously dedicated!
Can't thank you enough for this vid. The deeper I get into max this tutorial is still my reference for the life saving stuff I ten to forget and, ultimately seeing this is what allows me not to get lost when I read and practice with max! =)

I don't know why but him being so precise and articulate with his words but at the end misstyping the effect name as "The Degarder" had me laughing hard
I also want to say thanks Phelan! This tutorial is great to get a quick overview how Max for Live works. And yes it gets me more interested in building my own little devices. Thanks again. :-)
Thanks for the tutorial. If you're planning more video's on M4L, please just keep the camera on the screen and move along faster. I'm an absolute beginner and i was skipping to parts where actually something was happening.
I think a better suggestion is to merge them OBS Studio style (picture-in-picture) so there's no continuity breaks from the screen, but you still get the personality and social aspect of seeing the studio and the person's movements. I am really picky with tutorial videos, and this guy is slicing along giving choice cuts of useful information, so I can't knock it despite the camera switching. (this is a luxury, they did it for free for us)
lmao, you literally have a studio quality recording of how to use this software by a certified trainer for free on youtube and you're complaining. This is what you would get in some music college but pay 50k for it.
Just come back to double down on how stupid your comment is. This tutorial is about as good as you could hope for. He doesn't spend any time blabbering, he's just explaining how everything works.
Thanks for the tutorial and the effort you put into it. But the constant switching of the camera-angels is very destracting. It would make sense if there was anything going on in the studio beside the computerscreen or you were doing an interview-like video, where the focus lays on the person. But in a tutorial like this, I think it's most effektiv to stay on the screen most as possible.
i was absolutely fuming for second when i thought the height limit line was visible only in patching mode and not in presentation mode haha! before you revealed the existence of that default in presentation tick box... phew!
Brilliant tutorial and excellent presentation style!! Really enjoyed watching that and learned a lot. Tomorrow I will be mostly in Max For Live after only getting it today :-)
Text off label isn't visible in my Inspector.. I Have Scripting Name? For some reason, the values/commands entered are not taken by the program! You have to try to enter theses a few times to get the dial to be within the parameters.
Id love a video with a list of things people made, i cant seem to think of any use that i couldnt just do some ither way. would be cool see what people have made.
Hello, I have a question. Can you link Abelton s live mixer fader to a fader of a 3rd party vst?in my case linking the live s channel fader to izotope relay fader? thank you.
how come when i open any max for live device it opens so slow ? and looks like maxforlive is just opening? i have a good computer thats for 16 gigs of ram
Is nesting devices possible? I mean if I build a component let's say a filter(not a pre-made filter module in m4l,but my personalised module)can I drag drop that filter inside any other device I'm building or would I have to make a filter again for the new device ?
For example,let's say I want a subtractive Synth, with a specific effect chain, and only certain parameters on the gui, basically for live sets, then would I have to build my own Synth from scratch or could I use a pre-made Synth connect it to fx etc, and only have certain parameters on the gui, and package it as a device. More like an instrument rack or fx rack but with custom ui, something like a reason combinator....along with the ability to build and program custom components
How weird is it to see your back side while your talking to the computer...... I cant get passed the odd camera angles.....Just a screen shot would have been so much better....I simply can not follow this with all these odd camera positions!
Computer Music, you should stop hiring camera people for this kind of stuff, they're really not needed. I'da been nice to have a camera in front of his face instead of the anxiety inducing back shot.
it would make enormous amount of sense to put that line thats in patch more to presentation mode, i mean...really ? This cant be a mistake, someone is on purpose having a laugh
OMG, great tutorial but you're explaining it SO LONG - I'm a beginner and I've skipped like half of the video and still understand everything AND get bored. Shorter next time!
Why he keeps repeating "if you are lucky to have Push"? I might be unlucky and still have Push. How about that. I hate how he closes his eyes when explaining stuff.. It's like he's neglecting us.
Seriously? 12+ minutes of preamble? I came to see how to make a max4live device, not grow old before we get to the point. Also, why the he'll are we looking at his back?

Greatest Class about Max for Live!
Best m4l introduction tutorial ever. Thank you
Thanks. Very clear, nicely paced introduction, still relevant in 2023 wih Live 11 Suite.
Love this guy. Fanstastic introduction. Thank you!
Quentin McKay thank you!
What an amazing review and explanation you are so masterful in this world of Ableton
I don't know why but him being so precise and articulate with his words but at the end misstyping the effect name as "The Degarder" had me laughing hard
this video really cleared up many questions I had about the possibilities and use of max!! Thank you
Loved the master class and your humor! Thank you!!
Thank you ! High quality guide and excellent presentation!
What a wonderful tutorial. Excellent explanation. Well done.
I also want to say thanks Phelan! This tutorial is great to get a quick overview how Max for Live works. And yes it gets me more interested in building my own little devices. Thanks again. :-)
Awesome video man. Makes the whole ecosystem seem really approachable. Might make my own patch.
Thank you! That's what I need! I like the way you treat the subject at great length! So clear! Thank you so much again!
It is funny how similar his voice is to Moss' in The It Crowd.
Hahaha i was thinking the same thing.
This was very helpful, Phelan is such a great teacher! :) Cheers!
Thanks for the tutorial. If you're planning more video's on M4L, please just keep the camera on the screen and move along faster. I'm an absolute beginner and i was skipping to parts where actually something was happening.
zeepster same here

cool...i have had AL10 suite for a month and didnt know excactly what Max for Live was...this is so cool :)

Awesome primer on Max, learned quite a few things…
Other than mentioned bad camera angle his method of teaching has made a complicated subject manageable.
“twat the pad, trombone-tech, Jah Rastafarai “…legend!
I enjoyed learning about Max for Live while staring at the back and side of Phelan's head 😂 maybe next time show his face lol
i was absolutely fuming for second when i thought the height limit line was visible only in patching mode and not in presentation mode haha! before you revealed the existence of that default in presentation tick box... phew!
If you have Max for live, Max is on sale right now for 199.00. I don't remember for how long, but I jumped on it.
I like the way you presented this material! Thanks!!
I really hate the random shots of the back of his head. It distracts me and sometimes he clicks on a menu that Id like to see
Phelan is the man.
Amazing!! This is a GREAT beginners class. Thank you so much!
This was a great class
Brilliant tutorial and excellent presentation style!! Really enjoyed watching that and learned a lot. Tomorrow I will be mostly in Max For Live after only getting it today :-)
Can we edit an already created device, or view how it was made?
Text off label isn't visible in my Inspector.. I Have Scripting Name? For some reason, the values/commands entered are not taken by the program! You have to try to enter theses a few times to get the dial to be within the parameters.
They have this same tutorial with the max tutorials. I wish he went a little deeper for those with basic max knowledge
Very useful - it's a complex starter subject explained well - thanks
Thank yuo so much ,Great teacher First device
Id love a video with a list of things people made, i cant seem to think of any use that i couldnt just do some ither way. would be cool see what people have made.
This was fantastic, thank you!
many thanks for this tutorial, crystal clear
Hello, I have a question. Can you link Abelton s live mixer fader to a fader of a 3rd party vst?in my case linking the live s channel fader to izotope relay fader? thank you.
perfect drinking game. everytime he says max or life or max for life. greetings
Great teacher. Thanks.
"With great power comes great responsibility, padawan".
Did he just mix up the Spiderman and Starwars universes?
Yes I did.
@@MetaFunction I'm not sure whether i should be impressed or offended. But I digress: great tutorial!
Could anyone suggest more tutorials on max4live ? how to build stuff more advanced ?
Live For Max...
I need this class , where i can find this amazing class????
nice video & thorough explanations! lol stripey tiger tails 🐯
Thank you so much for this video!
how come when i open any max for live device it opens so slow ? and looks like maxforlive is just opening? i have a good computer thats for 16 gigs of ram
Top notch tutorial, thanks
I cannot find "Poli" folder. Why? Suite 11 user here
great tutorial :)
Thanks for this. Well explained, proper teaching! :-)

More like an instrument rack or fx rack but with custom ui, something like a reason combinator....along with the ability to build and program custom components
What kind of Rack on the table you use? Thanks for answer ;-)
i have live 11 and kind of new on M4L . My question is: My Poli ( M4L instrument) es very different!! anyone can tell me that is because the date ?
Thanks, very helpful
is someone eating in the background at about 45 minutes in?
thanks a lot for this
12:45....."be warned, you may be stuck in here for the rest of your life"
"We don't want to go down to zero because we might blow up our monitors"
I mean now I just want to get Max so I can go down to zero.
go to 12:51 to see editing in max for live window
thanks a lot
No info about packing the ready device
"..or you can click this button here if you're a ninja"... Awesome video for a newbie like me!. Thanks
How weird is it to see your back side while your talking to the computer...... I cant get passed the odd camera angles.....Just a screen shot would have been so much better....I simply can not follow this with all these odd camera positions!
11:20 😂
ah shit here we go a whole hour
Gooey!
STOP repeating sentences/concepts! Kinda ironic to talk to an audience ELI5 regarding such an advanced topic(m4l).
Computer Music, you should stop hiring camera people for this kind of stuff, they're really not needed. I'da been nice to have a camera in front of his face instead of the anxiety inducing back shot.
.....Mannnnn fuck all this 😂😂😂
Who tryna make a quick 2 Bands???
it would make enormous amount of sense to put that line thats in patch more to presentation mode, i mean...really ? This cant be a mistake, someone is on purpose having a laugh

OMG, great tutorial but you're explaining it SO LONG - I'm a beginner and I've skipped like half of the video and still understand everything AND get bored. Shorter next time!
Man he takes ages to explain stuff, drives me nuts..
Shut up moaning you ungrateful prick
yeah me too.......... changing the name on a knob in the properties is self explainatory you dont need 3 minute of talking for that
This dude REALLY doesn't get to the point does he. Who is this aimed at? 5 year old children?
Fire the cameraman/director......I guess its a good video for your modeling career.....But real annoying to try to learn about Max
Why he keeps repeating "if you are lucky to have Push"? I might be unlucky and still have Push. How about that.
I hate how he closes his eyes when explaining stuff.. It's like he's neglecting us.
27 minutes in and I still haven't learnt anything. Hurry up already.
He gets paid $ 0.10 for everytime he says max for live. #lmao
Seriously? 12+ minutes of preamble? I came to see how to make a max4live device, not grow old before we get to the point. Also, why the he'll are we looking at his back?
Oh, I was wrong. 25 minutes of dude just rambling and trying to be clever. And still staring at his damned back
Good teacher, Well Done
My pleasure.
