You made Abelton understandable and I really appreciate your instructing technique.

[lindseyhensley]

Dude does an excellent job of understanding the "new to this" perspective that far too many people attempting to teach simply fail to grasp. High marks for sure.

This series truly helped me make the switch from FL Studio, thank you so much for making it seem far less daunting than it always seemed to be.

Fantastic video from an awesome teacher! I'm a lifelong pianist, keyboard player, church organist, etc... but was always playing live, knew almost nothing about recording until a month ago. It took many months to research & buy the gear I thought I needed as I built a studio from scratch -- only making a few mistakes along the way, lol! Just got my first MAC & Ableton loaded up and thrilled I'm FINALLY able to start making music! And you are my Ableton teacher for sure - love your careful step by step method that does not assume a ton of prior knowledge (as so many other YouTubers do!)
P.S. This week your Launch Control XL vid from SIX years ago helped me push the button to buy it... I think it will greatly minimize having to use the mouse on all the tiny stuff on the display that I knew would both be very maddening and slow me down!

no words to express my gratitude for the series.
i used to make songs with Rebirth (RIP) and Fruity Loops (long long time ago, before FL Studio). now i finally got my 1st midi controller and thank god we got to learn Live somehow. thanks a bunch!

[phungtridung]

Thank you very much Taetro! I was crazy with how to start Ableton Live until I meet you. You are my future life. You're my love!

[babssarwar]

I have followed all of the previous series and its really a great job dude, you got all my gratitude and thanks soooo much.

WOW. What can I say mate. Another great video. I'm learning quite a bit. You've made me a fan of Ableton Live 11. I'm going to be purchasing the Standard Version (as soon as I can get the funds together all at once). Looking forward to the last video of this series. Cheers!!

[zZGleam]

Thank you every time Taetro. I've learned so so much from you, can't wait for the next episode.

I've been watching your Music theory series (which was brilliant and really made it all understandable and even fun!) and now going through the Ableton beginner series as well. Really like your teaching style and the content you make! Before watching this series Ableton seemed so much more complex and intimidating to use compared to Logic which to me just seemed more... logic. But from downloading the Ableton live trial as suggested by you not only does it seem less daunting, I also find Ableton to be muuuuch smoother and creatively intuitive and I will definitely buy Ableton as soon as my trial ends :) thanks for unlocking this gem and for the brilliant content you put out!

Hell yeah, I literally just finished binge watching the last 8 videos and this suddenly pops up in my feed XD

[egonzo]

homie the real deal. appreciate all the videos brotha

[laner]

The sequenciality is a genius move. First couple videos were hard to follow but after the tweaking here and there it started to become fun)
Thanks again for the knowledge! Let's make some music!
