PART 2 IS HERE: Ableton Live 11 For Beginners (Pt. 2)

[WyattLite-n-inn]

This is the first beginner video I’ve seen where the instructor doesn’t nervously flit around with the mouse from place to place so quickly that the eye can hardly follow. You’re a natural teacher . Great work, subscribed .

Should I give homework between lessons??

After watching this video, trying making a 4 part track with bass, melodic, and drum elements in Session View. Tag me on IG / Twitter so I can see your progress!

FINALLY! Someone who not only knows how to present and pace tutorials but is explaining things in such an easy non-patronising way. Also not prefacing everything with high energy, tiresome waffle...Great stuff.

I just obtained a mac and ableton after wanting both for years. I can't believe how easy you made everything. It's digestible, easy going, no pressure. You didn't use producer vocabulary, but still got the point across so clear and concise. Thank you for not over-doing it and keeping it all simple. This is literally the blueprint for all beginners everywhere. Building blocks.

Hey Taetro. Just so you know, people are still out here massively benefiting from the time you put into providing this resource. I've just made my first beat in Ableton because of your help, and I was smiling ear to ear. Thank you.

[rue]

The man makes a tutorial and still everything sounds like it could make for a legit beat. The effort you put into your instructional videos is honestly bar-none. Keep up the great work man.

This video is PURE GOLD. I’ve watched hours of Ableton ‘beginner’ videos where the presenter doesn’t start by TELLing and SHOWing you clearly how to get a sound out of the app. You doing so here in the language of someone watching with no experience already makes this video worth a thousand times more. On top of being a gifted musician, you're a wonderful teacher. Massive thanks. You’ve just gained a subscriber for life.

[denisehendricks]

Can I just say, Thank you!! I suffered through a few ridiculous "tutorials" before finding you. I learned more in 5 mins than I did in 2 days of wasted time! You're a gifted teacher! And that's coming from a teacher. Bless you! 🤗

[johnsonnyc]

Dude, I've been following your tutorials to get started on this new hobby. So pumped for this series!

[joshhayne]

i have been using your videos to teach my 7 year old daughter ableton... very concise and thorough.
she likes the way you speak calmly and explain things clearly. There are no ableton tutes for kids so this is excellent, she finds it very easy to listen to you when everyone else uses technical jargon and goes too fast.

[roxDELETED]

Never seen a video teaching ableton this clean and clear. Thank you! You are awesome!

[miguelbezerraax]

I'm Brazilian and recently started to learn about music production. Your didactics and your English are very clear to me. It's very easy to understand everything you explain. I don't even need to turn the captions on! Thank you! Really apreaciate the video.

[poneiulaxys]

After looking for 2 days at Ableton tutorials, you managed to explain more in 30 min than others in hours. Absolutly helpful!!!

[lokeylb]

Dude, I've been looking for an Ableton tutorial for literal beginners who show me how to use the program with everything from within the program just to start getting a grasp of it. You did exactly that & made my life so much easier trying to start my music production journey. You explained everything beautifully and made it super simple to follow along. Plus your voice is so calming and chill which helps a lot! Thank you so much for this & looking forward to watching the rest of your lessons!

[havenhaller]

This is easily the best tutorial I have seen for beginners. So easy to follow and so chill. Doesn't skip over anything important. Thank you!!!

[svperman_lod]

It’s so lovely seeing all the beginner comments, glad to see Taetro helping y’all step out that closet. Hobby or profession, juss keep at it.

[ThatsGuyCovers]

Hallelujah Chorus, brother!!! I have found my teacher! You got through the thick bone layer of my skull and actually into the brain! I am good for the thumbs ups and the silly comments. I hope more people find this and create beautiful, soothing music.

One bit of feedback, I lose the mouse and have to rewind and rewatch any time the action is on the bottom of the screen. Totally excellent pace and

[freddygutierrez]

Thank you for the super clear introduction to Ableton! I just got A brand new Mini Lab 3 for Christmas and this video has helped me understand super quickly the basics of getting around the program! You are a natural teacher!

[mexicaustralia]

This is next level Taetro. Seriously, I've been using Ableton for 2 months, and kinda struggled to get the right frame of mind to make something. After just the end of this lesson, I was bulding my own melodies, drums and baselines in session view and bridging clips together to make something that sounded reasonable. Well done brother. Can't express the gratitude here, you have my thanks. Inspirational!
