This tutorial made me completely lose fear of Ableton. Simple, straight to the point and you can start making music right away. THIS is what a teacher is, make students create confidence in themselves. Bless you Sanjay

[blazings]

Hands down the best 15 minutes you'll ever spend. I went through a 2-hour Udemy course and got confused. I highly recommend everyone starting out with Ableton live to go through this video first. Thanx man.

[WhiteFalconus]

It is funny that I have watched maybe two dozen long tutorials on Ableton Live and only now I finally understand the relation between the session view and the arrangement view. You are very good at explaining things, so thank you.

[bennorris]

Easily the best tutorial on Ableton I have watched. No one else was able to so concisely explain the different views and options available. As a complete beginner, this was a godsend.

[dulcelopez]

I love how timeless your video is. Its a few years old and its still helping people. Thats how you know you did really well

[vestrabeats]

Bro...you have no clue how much I look up to you..you have no idea how crazy this is....this morning I wanted to know how to do this...thanks bro AGAIN 💯💯💯

[EnricoDePaoli]

Having worked in music production, synths and sound engineering all my life, it’s amazing how going back to a simple, basic, yet beautifully done video like yours can be so inspiring. At any stage in our career we can face productivity locks, and your videos are medicine for that!

[HurveyJones]

Sanjay, this is why you're the best, I've watched Ableton Videos for over a year, but never, I mean never have I ever seen anyone demo it like you have! My hat is always off to you sir, and I gotta tell you that no matter what your video is about, I'm gonna watch and learn! Thanks again brother for all you do!!

[raymondrossberg]

Finally, a tutorial that’s simple and direct. I was getting so tired of seeing “beginner” videos that try to teach you all of Ableton in 30 minutes and which are understandable only by people with extensive experience. This one gives you the confidence of having learned just a handful of basics upon which you can build. This is the way every beginner tutorial should be constructed. I look forward eagerly to follow-up lessons having the same type of narration and limited subject matter.

I'm an old newbie in the beat game. Vids like this are EXTREMELY helpful. Very much appreciated 🙏🏻

[MK_UltraNice]

Oh my, this is gold. I got the feeling you gonna go viral with this. Super well explained Sanjay, thanks a lot!

[gordonpenny]

I started the day wondering how I'm ever gonna get the hang of this. Thanks to you, my way forward is illuminated. great friendly style, great content! thank you so much.

[walnawk]

This is by far the best 15 minute video on learning how to use Ableton!!! I am new to music production, lots of YouTubers overkilled on instructions. This is a perfect instructional video.

[alphygaytor]

super helpful, filled in the gaps of stuff I was getting frustrated trying to figure out on my own and has saved me a lot of grief. thank you!

[kayahphu]

I have been so confused by session view and have found Ableton challenging. But, after your clear explanation and demonstration, I finally understand how it works more. THANK YOU!

[jdssurf]

Man, you made things so much more clear than anyone. You inspired me to start doing it again. The fact you don’t skip details is why, most ppl get hung up because the teacher expects them to know the little things.

[StephSancia]

this tutorial just got straight into the nitty gritty in a simple but concise manner that was easy to understand and extremely inspiring. I think it was cool to set the bpm at 80 because it just slowed the flow and made it all so cool and easy on the learning curve. hearing the vibes, mixing, arranging and exporting so early was fantastic. heck, at the end point some other tutorials around the web are still waffling on about their style of teaching and the interface so all kudos Sanjay, this was extremely easy to follow for my "cluttered mind" all due to your slick presentation. thank you, have a fabulous day 😎

[cholo]

literally the best video for beginners; you do not make any assumptions about the beginner's knowledge. well done

[DWatso]

I know this one is a few years old, but it was perfect for my first steps in Ableton, and really broke through the primary difference to other DAWs as the session/arrangement interaction has never been so well and so clearly explained and demonstrated. Thanks Sanjay!
