this guy is the reason I still have motivation in making music and without him I would end up probably just being lost in Ableton's complicated systems

all i needed to know was how to switch views and you sir have showed me

Alex thanks for this video I really like the fact that you don’t waste time telling obvious things that are already known and just relay the facts that are needed to record audio (and we use a Focusrite as well ) have subscribed to your channel keep up the good work and thanks again. I am now going to spend the day creating some loops and other samples from newly recorded audio

[glennevans]

This was incredibly helpful to me. I was seriously struggling to make a simple track as a new user. You saved the day. This is a very thoughtful and well executed tutorial that even my 60 year old, analog tuned brain could follow. Your work is appreciated and ultimately made the difference for me. I was done. Thank you.

Many thanks. This is THE best Ableton tutorial I've encountered. Very clearly explained, step by step.

[seanhamilton]

I am new to Abelton but I am really digging it so far. Can’t wait to start recording!!!

[ActorFlautista]

Baby steps! That's all I've been looking for! Everyone assumes the user knows the software and interface top to bottom, shortcuts, etc. that they end up doing things and effects and leaving the us, the students, lost and confused! You, my man, did the complete opposite and HELPED a lot! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much! I have begun a voiceover business and have been struggling with learning ableton lite and you have taught me so much in this video!

[alienpyramid]

Thank You Alex! Short, informative and too the point!

[eedleate]

[WhiteRussianMusic]

These tutorials are absolutely amazing! I am BRAND new to this recording thing and your easy to understand, clearly presented videos are VITAL to an old dog like me trying to learn new tricks! I feel like you're right in the room with me, just walking me through the process in everyday language...Thank you for this wonderful resource and keep up the great work!

[themasterrogerdelgado]

It's been a few years since you've made these but wanted you to know it's been very helpful to me - I used Cakewalk for over a decade and while concepts are the same the UI is very different! Hope you make some more videos sometime.

[ZZZAYYAD]

[JAMIEgf]
