Love ya ❤

In this week's weekly Q (en of vid) I talked about my journey and how I learned music production. What would you wanna know next?

[mariduf]

Thanks for saying so openly that you had no example of women producers and had to go to universitat just to demolish the believe that you hosted for years and discover this arena with humility and professionalism.
Women can actually produce very well. In your case, you break the tabou and you are very generous sharing the know how and your passion. We do need other narratives, other experiences.
Good Luck in production world. Keep on teaching like you do. You are already a referent.

Your explanation of ABLETON is INFUCKINGCREDIBLE! I cannot imagine how much time you spend in editing your videos but you are a genius in keeping things fast, simple and useful while grouping things together so they flow nicely with what is being learned. I din't know ya, but I think I love ya:-) THANK YOU!!!!

GREAT STUFF! Thanks for this tutorial, and particularly all your tutorials in relation to Ableton. (Saved a set of them to my YouTube library, as a matter of fact). I REALLY like your style. (And have been watching ALLOT of your videos). I'm a newbie to using a DAW to begin with, having recorded all my material on a Porta Studio for something like the last 20 years! But have always been very interested in learning (and using) a DAW. Was kind of nervous about it at first, but after much research, I decided to take the plunge and go with the trial version of Ableton. (Really love the look of the software, and all the features and things it appears to be able to do. Not to even mention the way their website is laid out, and how easy it was to download). Your clear and precise teaching method however, has helped me so much, in continuing to go forward, because when I first opened the program, I didn't even know where to begin! I'm sure many of your subscribers (of which I am now one) would agree with me, that we cannot thank you enough for your patience and dedication in putting out this wealth of invaluable information. I guess, you must also really love Ableton yourself to begin with, to even consider putting in all the effort that you have put into your tutorials. And you seem to do it, not only with allot of knowledge, but with allot of understanding and compassion as well. I like that. And I am sure it is recognized by others as well. (Your stuff is some of the best learning, and tutorials on YouTube that I have seen. Hands down!) God bless you...

Thank you so much! It easy to understand, but I thought another way before your video, thank you so much!!!

[davilotube]

what a great explanation of midi in ableton. Finally I understand, thankyou!

[davidwimble]

Liina your videos are incredible! I am in the early stages of building a home studio. My computer that is going to host Ableton hasn't even arrived yet, so I'm taking in as many videos as I can before I'm physically set up. Today I desperately searched for a decent MIDI video. I find that the "beginner's" MIDI videos that pop up in a YouTube search are anything but. Then yours came into the queue and it was this amazing breath of fresh air!!! I'm now subscribing to your channel and I'm going to watch all your videos. They are truly for beginners and my tiny brain appreciates that!

[Misha]

I had to make a video where I have to use midi for an exam in the university . I usually use pro tools and I'm been using pro tools for a long time. But the streaming to obs is a pain in di @ss, so in my desperation I had to change to ableton, let mi tell you, you save my live with your videos, Im very grateful, your work is amazing, thank you thank you. With love from Italy!

[musicbyEBENTHOMAS]

CTRL + Shift + M when you have a select portion highlighted in arrangement view that you want to be the length of your MIDI Clip - YES! Thank you

[chrispinkalala]

Thank you, for you videos there so fun to follow along too I'm currently a beginner producer learning from your videos thanks for everything! 😀 Love from Canada 🇨🇦

[bobbabu]

Thanks a lot, for your guidance, it's a great video, I Just started Music Production & songwriting course, but I have no idea How to do Midi keyboard playing through Ableton. You taught well. it's very helpful.

[heladionascimento]

You really make us want to learn from your tutoriais. Your knowledge has helped me beyond imagined...Gratitude from Brazil!!!

[EdilbertoOrdonez]

My preferred teacher!! Thanks! We love you!

[allanckny]

So glad I found this. Your channel is so underrated. Thank you for all the hard work!

[shepo]

You're awesome! Thank you soooo much for the video and education! And your passion which is so epic! So proud of your accomplishments, congrats!

[blue.sunset]

Hi Lina! another fantastic video! You teach Ableton Live better and much more in detail for free than most paid Ableton Live courses. I see channels on YouTube with immense thousands of followers in which they do not teach even half of what you teach. Anyone who follows your channel and wants to learn Ableton Live is really lucky. You deserve to have many more thousands of followers. Be aware that when you publish a video on your channel you are using good hashtags (#). Good hashtags help YouTube a lot to promote your channel. Have a good Sunday 😃

[taylorholden]

Great job! Im happy for your success :) nice video

[ktrak]

LND is a perfect example of my philosophy, Keep it simple stupid ! She has such a nice happy approach to explaining the best Daw in my opinion.
