Ableton Live is one of the best DAWs used to make and compose music. It offers two main interfaces: the Session and the Arrangement view. You can use the Session view to make experiments and find the best tune and then switch to the Arrangement view to fill your Tracks and realize the final sound.
In this short tutorial of 12 minutes you will see all the basics you need, including working with sample files, MIDI compositions, recordings and how to adjust clips with effects, loop and warp.

This video is compatible with version 11 and version 11.1. Thank you for watching!!!

As a complete novice, I have come to the conclusion that the best way to get up to speed is to watch as many beginner tutorials as possible. Each one teaches you things the others skip over! This is a one of the better ones!

[carlcaddell]

Feel like I might have to watch this video a few times, but it was well articulated for a noob, way more so than other tutorials which seem to skip over simple things that people looking for tutorials need most. Well done, I'm going to save this video and watch it a few more times until I have these basics down. Thanks man!!!!

This is one of the best tutorials on the first few minutes in ableton. Make sure you share this with anybody that's just starting their music production journeys much love and respect to you!

I think the first thing that should be explained is the vertical and horizontal nature of Session and Arrangement view. Most people – even newbies – have seen a physical mixing board, and grasp that its input channels are organized in vertical strips. Likewise, most people have seen _some_ kind of sequencer program before, maybe Garageband or their friends' DAW(s) – and in them, the signals (and music) flow horizontally. So those two experiences need to be compared to Session & Arrangement, from the get-go. Like: Each Session view column is a vertical strip that funnels one sound source (like a mixer), and the same goes for one corresponding Arrangement horizontal row. And then an explanation of what these two contrasting views are good for. Once the newbie grasps this, only _then_ all the peripheral interface stuff can be added on – Browser, Control Bar, Device View, loading files etc. In this vid, adding samples to clip slots is demoed, before the viewer even knows what the Session View slots are for, or how they relate to anything else. Sorry, I don't mean to sound negative; but very few experienced users remember how boggling it was, before they had a clue what Live was even about. The newbie desperately needs the most basic concepts, before they can benefit from lists of other interface elements. In each View, where does the sound _come_ from? Where does it _go?_ And why is that View's signal flow useful?

Thanks for this turtorial! I’ve made 4 or 5 songs now as a beginner, but I never used the Session view. I do get it now better because of your video. Keep up the good work. Loud and clear voice and the explanation is not to fast luckily

[davidward]

Thank you for a true beginers guide that explains the simple things like where the buttons are to switch things on and off, so many guides assume prior knowledge. As a complete newbie to DAWs I appreciate your patience in explaining the really basic stuff and on only my second session with Abelton have the satisfaction of creating a crude 5 voiced recording.

[cyraxx]

Great video, not too much information and enough to get started up. I think too many other spend too long explaining, when practicing is what will actually teach us, so there's no point in too much information and getting burned out. Thank you for your time in making this.

[SuperRingoffire]

Brilliant help thank you! I've finally got me head round a lot of what I've been trying to figure out for the past 18 months 👌👏☮

[zerocal]

I've made many songs but have to go back to the basics bc I never learned Ableton well. I knew I was missing some simple things. I appreciate the video 👍👍

I just got Ableton 11 as a present and this video was super helpful for the basics. Every other video I could find was extremely long and intimidating

[anniedarkhorse]

Best video on Ableton I have seen. Very easy to understand, given how powerful Ableton is.

[rtyprty]

As someone who’s been using FL Studio for the past 10 years, this video is almost everything I needed 😂🙏🏻

[Necrocidal]

I've used LMMS / Ardour for a while and just got gifted a license for Ableton. This tutorial looks like the perfect balance of depth and conciseness, thanks!

[Alex-jwko]

Thank you! As someone that has worked in other daws for many years this was a nice introduction to get the basic layout:)

[I_love_cuddles]

thank you so much for that nice video! I felt so happy when I see you literally guiding the viewer by hand into each bit of the interface!
:D

[DamonZenDrummer]

I LOVE this video… not too fast …just hit the pause button if you tap on left of screen twice you can go back 10 seconds …incredible video one of the best I’ve ever seen

[sigurdnorris]

As a person whos been usin fl for half a year now, having to change bc ableton had a way cheaper version than fl, a short guide was real nice bro, thanks!

[grassgeese]

Wow!!! The hotkey recommendations at 11:00 are so helpful! I usually go into Preferences and search the hotkey default options, but you gave the most useful ones all right there! Great video, thank you so much, I'm excited to get started..!

[jawneethecurious]

Very good overview! Thank you. It's enough to get me up and running...
