Very useful tutorial. Just installed Ableton Live trial version as I am considering switching to Ableton coming from FL Studio. FL is great, but I need a more cleaned out workflow rather then stuff everywhere on screen and getting lost in detached windows.

This is such a great video. I’m starting to learn Ableton. This helped me sooo much!

Upgraded to Live 12 from... 8! (a bit embarrassed) Got some catching up to do. Thanks for the leg up. Watching beginner tutorials, 4 so far and this one is the best.

Note that some of these settings etc are for PC only.

For example, Core Audio on Mac is all you need. ASIO is for PC only.

At about 13:50 in the video, when you select a bar in the track, "handles" appear in each corner of the bar. When I select a bar, that does not happen... I get no handles, and no way to control the volume. Is there a secret that I missed? I was trying that on a MIDI track. Now I've added an audio track, and the method seems to work properly on that track.

Hi Very Nice Tutorial Thank you so much. I have a Question: How to Apply any Sound Effect on Part of the Track (clip), like Reverb.

Can you delete sections of audio from within the clip view?
