literally the only person explaining and showing how session view works thanks

I've only just started watching this channel but within a few minutes you've already explained some of the key things that anyone would need to know without lots of unnecessary information. Not only a great musician and world class producer but also a great teacher too. Despite being so capable though you divert all the attention away from yourself which is a very appealing characteristic especially as the music business is full of people trying to elevate their status and hype themselves up. Great channel.

Excellent teacher! This is a must watch for anyone starting out on Ableton. I am a complete newbie. You inspired me so much that I actually created an awesome track (at least I think it's awesome) watching your instructions. I will definitely watch all of your other videos. Thank you so much.

[senormusicaGaming]

holy crap! this helps SO MUCH thank you!

I’m really not one to leave comments, but thank you. There are plenty of beginner videos already, best believe I’ve watched quite a few, but this one was the one that made the pieces click! It’s quite the learning curve but man I haven’t been this excited or creative in years! An instant sub from me, great job!

[nebunidhi]

Such a a great explanation. Big thanks from someone who bought minilab3 and was troubling how to start my recording journey. Love from India❤

[kaage]

Easily the best tutorial I've seen here. Bought Ableton a couple of days ago and was VERY frustrated since english isn't my native language. You're the best. With this detailed info at least I know how to get started. Now I just need to learn how to add my Akai MPK mini 3 to the program and Akai Midimix AND Casio synthesizer as well (Also Alesis Nitro Mesh kit drums). Oh gosh!

[antgeeze]

This is excellent 🎉 I’m glad I watched though I’ve been Ableton for some time, this was more than a refresher🎉 much appreciated as always

[Vanolo]
