Absolutely fantastic walkthrough

[@bvrbvs]

I'm sure you are cooking something !

[@robjanssen7420]

The MIDI comping is just the thing I've been looking for.

[@saifmanman]

100% agreed on the Take Lane icon/button. Hope they add that in the final UI!

[@skullbonk1081]

I no longer have to worry about how fast the COVID days are going by, waiting for live 11 is gonna put time in it’s place

[@nartguy]

Bars

[@bvrbvs]

You can get it now :). Beta is really stable

[@UntrueSounds]

@@bvrbvs only available for 10 users (and not lite). I m really thinking about buying Ableton, but maybe i hae to wait for 11 now...

[@quantum_leap]

@@UntrueSounds Apparently you can buy 10 at a 20% discount now and get 11 upgrade for free, might be worth a look.

[@cytocache1238]

And just like that, ableton has fulfilled many of its work flow editing, peeves, and has got its own version of a multi midi channel piano roll. The plugins are also crazy nice now. Many 3rd party plugins you’d have to recreate using device groups if you didn’t have it are now very accessible within the stock options. Props!

[@laurentbarbier-music8370]

I just realized MPE allows each midi pitch to be bent around. This is great !

[@dazza42UK]

As soon as there’s Ableton news I look to your channel. Every time. Your videos are the best Evan.

[@Slynk]

Thankyou so much!

[@dazza42UK]

@@Slynk You're so welcome. I totally agree with your suggestions re a button on the take lane channel to open, close and identify it and a way to show/hide MPE settings. They make total sense. Hopefully Ableton are smart enough to listen.

[@Yassine13x]

Thanks a lot for this walkthrough video. Finally they added Camping ... BTW : Pro tools just released a new version 20.11 that supports MPE and Audio 2 Midi I was one of those asking for this feature since Live 10 day 1 betas., and was crazy to see people saying, Camping... nah....we can use session for takes.... lol Now, for Ableton Live, they just need to add ARA2 support to keep their customers happy, and to keep up with the competition. ARA2 for those who don't know is the native/integrated support of Melodyne, Auto Align.... and other huge time saver tools, when editing vocals it make all the different, like Camping.... but am sure they will keep it for Live v12 :D as always !!! Other useful additions we need imho : - a menu to customize the keyboard shortcuts... man there is huge number of Keyboard shortcut now.... - The same feature as "Saving Variations for Macros" but for the Mixer and tracks. A Sort of Mixer Snapshot that helps to try different Mixing / Editing combination easily. a Feature that's available on any other modern DAW nowadays. Finger Crossed

[@BrianFunkMusic]

Hey Slynk! Great video, I enjoyed hearing your general enthusiasm as you went through the features. Really cool use of Follow with the street drummer sample!

[@ragingoracle6239]

Sub!!! Was so good! I had no intention of watching the whole thing, but before I knew it, it was over.. good delivery!

[@droshik]

God damn, that Spectral Resonator on the vocals at 19:40 sounds sooooo good!!! Can't wait to play around with those! Great video brother! 🤟

[@loydsa]

Very helpful. thank you for making and posting.

[@HellGoodDoogz]

You're easily the best ableton youtuber around!... I always get so inspired after watching your vids. 😎 Also Ableton 11 looks well mint! So many sick features! I didnt bother with 10 from 9... but this is weeeeell worth it!

[@annode]

I agree. I come from an old version of Cubase never using LIVE and I had no problem following you. I just bought gear that comes with a lite LIVE version...I guess I'll learn LIVE basics with that and then (when I can afford it) buy LIVE v.11.

[@theelusivedillinger]

Dude I love your excitement about sharing your knowledge with us. Especially your Beavis laugh. I instantly laugh right along with you. You're awesome thanks for keeping us informed.

[@sketchypete5370]

Miss your videos man! glad to see you're still up and kicking!

[@AntandraMusic]

Your videos are so inspirational. Very well done.

[@Corporatist]

Great job on the video, very thorough and no wasted time really. Excited to get the upgrade.

[@tillmoritzmoll]

So awesome, can't wait for it to come out. Thanks for the great overview!

[@junglistdemon]

Great video Slynk, thanks. The MPE support is really cool. Very impressed with this latest release. Also being able to edit more than one audio clip at a time is a long overdue update and greatly appreciated!

[@MusicianParadise]

Can't wait to try it out! Your review is soo smooth...top content!

[@BobBell.]

Nicely done mate👍 I can’t wait to play around with that MPE stuff, that Wavetable patch was awesome! 🔊 😊

[@SolStateMusic]

43:19 You're a legend!

[@DarraghRedmond]

Great overview .. thanks dude 🤘🏽🦞

[@TouchToneDSG]

This was a fantastic video thank you for making it

[@uh_me]

Great video and input as always, thank you

[@midas1048]

thank you so much for that walkthrough!

[@j.fetzer5814]

Thank you!! Excellent job! Just got the 11 beta and can't wait to explore! 🙌

[@Stacity]

Thank you Slynk I’m trying to hang on to 10 Ableton moves fast love this tour of 11 love you dude I enjoyed watching this I think you have definitely convinced me.

[@slakk5093]

Wow love the comp lanes and follow audio tempo inputs.. and that spectral resonater 😦

[@ryoshamo]

great content, i honestly had no idea all this was at my disposal. subbed!

[@andrecubilo7328]

Audio comping, multi midi editing & MPE ... absolute killer !!! can't wait & thanks for the review.

[@TENKATRANCE]

AWESOME WALKTHROUGH! :)

[@mundelator]

Great overview, thx !

[@KateCapella]

Thanks for this video - especially with the sections marked out. I was waffling last night (last chance for the discounted rate!) about whether or not I really needed the upgrade. There were some things I saw that seemed cool, but when I saw the Multi MIDI clip editing, I was SOLD! That is awesome and will save me some time composing my songs.

[@thomasicekeys]

This is absolutely incredible. Great video!

[@samgoldsberry3029]

They have taken the "Best of Max for Live" and called it an update. But that's the advantage of allowing your user community to create content for your product. Excellent job working together Ableton.. and Community!

[@peen2804]

I mean all that shit was already included with live suite they just made it more immediately visible lol. the actual update to the software is new and reworked stock plugins, audio and midi comping, etc. None of the max devices mentioned are even new

[@jasongravely7217]

I’ve watched a few 11 walkthroughs and this is by far the best.

[@jibberish666]

This is an awesome video - thanks loads

[@mountainless9789]

I'm so glad you're back making videos :D

[@Slynk]

I've actually made a new tutorial video every week for the past month and a half ;)

[@Stickybudsmusic]

Great video homey, thanks for all the explanation, stoked on this.

[@tomelwich49]

Great pacing Slynk...keep up the superb work!

[@nicksanford9]

Slynk man, you are just the chillest guy and a true pro. Thank you for making these vids and for your excellent music

[@thomasfokas]

Out of all the live 11 videos on KZbin, this is by far the best

[@jannik9361]

I can't wait for the MPE and comping stuff. Great video!

[@RickySweum]

Excellent review of the new features. I'm so excited to start using Ableton 11!

[@CyrGlz]

Yoo ! Your review is so clean, really pleasant to watch ! Thank you Slynk ! Musically

[@apoplexiamusic]

my mind is just blown away by all these new features! incredible

[@versionone6628]

Man! This is the best review of Live 11! Thanks!

Thank you Sir, that was great.

[@special_circumstancs]

[@LEONLIII]

[@A1RW0LF]

Great clear info on the new additions to Live 11, cheers

[@adlibbeats]

Props to this video mate. I already got my pre-order.

[@InclusiveMusic]

Amazing thank you 🙏🏽

[@D.3TH13R]

Great video. Totally agree with your thoughts and requests.

[@De_GRIO]

Great presentation and explanation. 11 has changed the game. And that MPE is so amazing, I'm glad you hipped me to it.

[@zacwhyte]

“Never doubt yourself Slynk!” Deadly walk through man.

[@JamesBermingham]

Top demo. Workflow looking even better in Live 11 especially with the MIDI Multi edit.

[@GrimmusiKRecords]

That multi-midi clip editing though… 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@2mbst1]

instant upgrade pre-order. this is amazing!

[@axel_fagerberg]

The rack changes are amazing!!!

[@sandwich-breath]

It was literally last week when I told myself - self, i want to warp multiple tracks at the same time when working with multiple midi and audio tracks in Live. Time saver = life saver!

[@eosmusic9872]

excellent video thank you

[@niqulusviii987]

@ 9:57. Ok this is what I've been waiting for! I mostly produce with live instruments and my drums are important to as well as others. I'm sold on this!

[@darudeSandstorm.]

Impressive stuff!

[@terminalbungus9566]

Takes and Comping! I was actually giddy hearing this, and that does not happen easily! This is really going to improve the experience of multitracking live instrumentation. So excited!

[@alexwalker9017]

Cheers Slynk! Those Spectral fx look insane.

[@bboymac84]

Omg I can't wait for the final versions n, I hope they consider your notes! Let's go Slynk!

[@Longwalkshortdock]

Whoa.... some very cool stuff in here. Much excite. That Spectral Resonator has HUGE potential.

[@Deepnthahouse]

Great teacher!

[@alice10888]

Thank you

[@jbcholbi]

Push it to the limit, man! I''ll be here to watch it and push it a little too :) Thanks

[@jamessusbilla]

thank *YOU*

[@tanoi6212]

excellent! well done...

[@Sanguinor_Energy]

i needed this vid 🥲

[@AmazonCrime]

Slink the goat! Thx for the video.

[@lisaamaro]

I'm so excited!

[@paradiddle16]

Wow the multi-clip editing.

[@Audiorial]

Yeah Slynk, always on point

[@farshadarshadi9229]

thank you

[@eulman09]

Ableton should put you on their payroll, Slynk! Now that I’ve heard from my man, I will be upgrading to Live 11. And, Ableton, be sure to include every recommendation Slynk made to future updates. Slynk knows what he’s talking about!

[@BenCooperTech]

That Spectral Resonator is sooo coooool

[@JosumorMusic]

That comping thing bro. FINALLYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nickieisensee]

Dude i love u and your videos

[@kierandennis1883]

Great video Slynk!

[@jayzill5348]

Awesome update! MPE looks very well implemented. Comping looks ideal. Just need ARA support & a 'Mixer' view (basically just change the Session view to display plugins across all tracks instead of the clips, like all other DAWs).

[@pbanaszek]

I used to work with Ableton 10 Intro for 3 years. It was time, when I was learning this DAW and I didn't want to spend too much money on it. This year I've switched to Ableton 11 Standard. It was great decision! There are so many features and cool stuff. And I can't focus on doing music, because learning Ableton, shortcuts and trying to figure out best workflow for me is so fun :) Everytime, when I've got some free time, I'm testing some solutions, watching videos like this one and so on. I hope I'll switch to higher version, when Ableton 12 come out :) Thx for this overview.

[@0374studio]

THX, man

[@sopadiamusic]

The amount of times I got excited in watching this is not okay

[@theelusivedillinger]

The new follow button is sick. Especially for someone like me who plays guitar and doesn't like to play along with a click track just by feeling alone this is going to help me immensely. Thanks Ableton

[@engeomusic]

Daaamn! the macro variations launch buttons are mappable!!! That's going to be so useful as a guitarist!

[@carlosramirezfabian1256]

I just got 11 yesterday!

[@RmaNYouTube]

31:54 I guess Arca had Ableton 11 way before us.

[@not_just_burnt]

imagine deadmau5 getting his hand on THIS

[@russianvoodoo]

Oneohtrix.

[@peacefulpigeon7254]

So excited - been using Ableton since version 7 and so many new features - great video thanks. Wondered if there will be any improvements on collections? I use them all the time for quick access in projects and need the option to have more... this would be so so useful!

[@wmextra]

Before I watch let me say Thank You sir

[@victorroberts4637]

Awesome vid! Very comprehensive, I think it's like the 4th one I've watched and def the best. Like that you started with the preferences - really wish they added an "Always playback from cursor" option for arrangement - been waiting for that for like 10 years, at the moment I have to create a marker and then assign a key to it. The extra launch options are great - I use them a lot and always thought it was weird they didn't have a simple change at end of clip option - also that launch on/off button will be handy because sometimes I get lost. Looking forward to going crazy with launching clips and scenes and recording to comping. With the edit groups - can you group audio and midi tracks and would stuff like reverse and time stretch rearrange/stretch the midi notes? I like to edit with audio , but then have the option to record another pass of the edited midi notes to audio, if need be. Oh - and if there was a morph between macro variations - that would be sic.

[@essentialbodyfitnesstrainer]

Love your excitement in the video. Lol
