The NEW Ableton 12 Beginner Guide (in 22 Minutes)

Ableton 12 is here! And WOW it was worth the wait. SO many cool new features.

I've tried to put together the most simple Ableton 12 tutorial that has everything you need, with nothing unnecessary.

I'm honored to teach you guys the ins and outs of this powerful software and give you the chance to get what's in your head to come out of a pair of speakers.

If you have any comments or questions let me know below!

I tried to read all the comments and respond when I can.

Thanks so much for stopping by, truly.

Cheers!
Ethan

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.

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.

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!

Legend for posting so many tutorial/beginner videos like this!

[goofyy_]

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

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!

Wicked no fluff fast and comprehensive Ableton tutorial Nice one Ethan

[EireneSarah]

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.

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

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 :)

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. :)

[andresaiello]

Watched this multiple times and every time I learned something new. Great vid!

[Trinzzler]

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.

[blazenplays]

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!

[MetalMamaMist]

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!

[jerickftw]

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 :)

[cyngarcia]

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.

[GManAce]

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

[constructed]

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!
