[@bobdevore6790]

This is it! I watched a bunch of "Learn Ableton in 15 Minutes" videos that just left me confused or frustrated. I am so glad I set aside the time to watch this tutorial. Awesome!

[@mintlagoon]

i feel the same way 100%!! ^w^

[@trevorsmith9627]

No way cause this vid is 2 hours long like what lmao

[@High.on.Life_DnB]

​@@trevorsmith9627good luck figuring out everything yourself

[@jessagb]

Me too, i haven't even finished and I've done so much thanks to this complete tutorial🎉

[@rawt3n315]

i watched 5 of them and NONE of them told me you had to double click to place a "tile" while making your midi.

[@villavasto]

For all the folks looking to "dominate" Ableton Live 11, this is a must-look at learning it. I cannot believe the time, clarity, and attention to detail that this video has created. It is simply the best, in my view, and it is so easy to follow. Just commit the time to it and keep revisiting it, and you will master Ableton Live! Excellent job, folks, and thanks for doing this!!!

[@Stevercakes]

Thank you for sharing this with everyone. 20 minutes in and I'm feeling like i'm making progress on actually learning how to use the software. It's very daunting as a beginner but you're breaking everything to the bare bones. Much appreciated. Glad I stumbled upon this video.

[@DAT-mer]

I fully agree with this. Just started the video and I already feel I'm making progress. Well done.

[@oopalonga]

hopefully you're doing much better on your journey understanding the daw. just FYI I found most helpful to find people you can watch make music live on Ableton and just follow what they do. Tom cosm is also a great resource :) and dude produces so quickly/effortlessly

[@Majdajaanini123]

Chi k hhh if nji g un bl mn m

[@jasondavis3075]

7 minutes in, and this is by far the most beginner friendly guide that i've been looking for! Thank you :]

[@bravo6458]

Xplore music here 🎸kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIrRg2WAmdWLZ7c

[@awakenmusic8529]

Yes

[@huntrrams]

Agree. He’s the channel that made me love Ableton several years ago

[@christopheleray7913]

The best ableton tutorial : structured, logical, with a clear language, with step by step objectives, simple demonstrations, not as all these rough small amateur tutorials which contaminate youtube. Good job !

[@gravityisahat]

I have completed lots of KZbin software tutorials - something of a mixed bag - I genuinely believe this to be the best produced structured paced and delivered tutorial I have encountered. Thank you

[@michaelmcdonough5983]

I'm honestly amazed at how much information I just picked up without experiencing a single moment of confusion. You guys are awesome. Thank you so much 🙏

[@fiore1394]

This is the best Ableton tutorial on KZbin, hands down. I can't thank you enough.

[@spi666]

Thank you so much for this very thorough walkthrough of this software. I watched the entire video and can now say I feel MUCH more confident in using Ableton Live 11. A huge thank you for putting this together. It was a lot of work for you guys and you did a fantastic job!

[@warrenshultz4514]

I was feeling overwhelmed. Now it's quickly making sense. As a beginner, I want to give a heartfelt thanks!

[@nishantkumar394]

This is a perfect video to start your Ableton journey. 100% beginner's friendly. Thanks to the creator for this awesome lesson ❤️

[@chelseaz.3584]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, having the opportunity to follow along and make tracks as you talk through makes all the difference.

[@nate4732]

Amazing job! I had quite a lot of knowledge gaps when It came to using Ableton and this helped a BUNCH, helping with imposture syndrome and also massively increasing efficiency.

[@KristofTimmermans91]

Thanks a lot for the perfect "Beginner tutorial" ! Step by step and with a lot of detail, now finally got the confidence to go further with Ableton. Thanks guys ;)

[@biddy105]

Excellent Refresher tutorial after taking a break from Ableton. Back on track in no time! Thank you 👍🏻

[@nyfaniloandrianjafy8171]

My first reaction was "Are you crazy? a 2 hour video on KZbin? F' that". But I still watched it and oh boy was it worth it!

[@alaab82]

Absolutly one of the best tutorials around ! I started it saying i am not sure i would be able to do it but now i am sure i am buying the full edition after completing this one ! cheers from France !

[@user-pk1gc3ji9b]

I am a beginner, Hebrew speaking user, and yet this guide was so friendly and easy to understand. Very generous amount of information. I bought the full course.

[@TheRedAnvil40]

This made me buy the course. I'm 30 lessons in and literally by lesson 5 I was like "why didn't I do this before" he really makes it so easy to understand and you can follow along. I'd suggest getting a second screen so you can mess with ableton and watch the lessons though. It'd be hard if I didn't have two.

[@TomasGeorge]

Thanks Danny! I’m glad you’ve found this video useful, and I hope you enjoy our course

[@hughchapman5319]

2 screens also handy to have both session and arrangement views open at the same time

[@zanechristiansen]

​@hughchapman5319 how do you open it into a second screen? I mean with session view still open on one screen

[@DAsia.Simone]

I’m only an 1hr and 20min in but I’m so thankful for this video. I’m starting to feel more and more confident using Ableton! I even bought your full course! Thank you for sharing!

[@jaybrown9370]

Just got ableton live 11 suite and I’m a complete novice,this has helped me out so much thanks for this brilliant course.

[@elliotwong397]

I follow through step by step and miraculously I was able to get the music up and running. It makes me a happy boi. Kudos to the team.

[@BadAssWartHog-A10]

The best Ableton Live 11 tutorial on the internet, by far. Excellent work sir.

[@andycordy5190]

I have been trying to work with the manual since finishing Ableton's own "Introductory lessons". This has taken very little of my time, it is clearly presented, runs at a pace I can follow and I have learned a lot, so I have decided to sign up for the full course.

[@Zachliddick]

This video has been so helpful. Thank you so much. You obviously spent a lot of time with it. And I appreciate it so much!

[@StereoAnthony]

Thank you for sharing this! I've never quite been able to wrap my head around Ableton, but this has been a perfect beginner guide.

[@jhajhAbari]

This is a great video, i learnt a lot. I just recently started using Ableton live and i was a little confused at first, but now i believe i have way more knowledge about the software. Thanks You Gents.

[@chillwalker]

Hey Tomas, I have to compliment you: I have been working in music production for 30 years now, and while I am right now in the phase of restructuring my studio (and I still got no intern that crawls for me under the Desks), this course came randomly up in the mighty YT Algorithm. I usually find these tutorials so annoying, boring, fake, or just screaming between the lines of what some try to sell me, that I can't stand it if I am doing work with a little focus needed. But this was not that. Even doing Audio Network and Server Stuff your voice somehow found a way thru, and I ESPECIALLY AM IMPRESSED, how you still manage to explain every little step, that must be bread and butter for years. I also had to laugh out loud, when you, totally serious, explained that a microphone only will be sent on one channel, even if it's in some stereo track...but.OF COURSE. Someone who is starting totally fresh...how should he know. So, my friend, and now that I did this, and finished my beer..... let's crawl back into the server room. Greetz from Germany.

[@joeguidi296]

Amazing! Thank you! Just finished this 2.5 hours. Off to the full course now. Great job!

[@HarryOsirian]

You guys are legends!. Been looking for a comprehensive tutorial and I believe yours is the easiest to follow for absolute beginners. Thank you 🙂

[@frankiemedinaruiz5311]

thanks for this. ive been so low on trying to get my music journey going. i’m a singer and i want to entertain for a living. it’s always been my dream. ive never had a way to make it come true. so i began to buy my home studio piece by piece starting with a computer. once i had everything i needed i had no idea where to start. this is the first video that has really shown and taught me the way of building the ideas and songs that i’ve had stored in my head.

[@johnhickling3496]

Fantastic course that has demystified a whole bunch of features for me. I'll be signing up for the full course rightaway. Thanks guys!!!

[@theonlyayn]

best tutorial video i've ever seen, bless your heart!

[@kaerithmallock]

Thank you, you have accomplished the hard task to get me focused for 2 hours. I've learnt a lot of things even without having the daw opened. Keep up the good work.

[@stevebriggs6469]

Loved the first 20 minutes so much I went and bought the course (which is currently on sale!!! woohoo!!!). Thank you.

[@dennismeredith6944]

Great Job!! I am finally starting to understand Abelton. Thank you for taking the time to do this!

[@josephstater200]

It is so fitting that this came out on my literal birthday, so thank you becasue this tutorial has been the most beginner friendly course ive seen.

[@Dave-nm3xc]

I've watched many other Ableton tutorials, and this is by far the best one I've seen. Well done!!

[@bhorstkotte]

Thanks so much for this, just got Ableton Live 11 Lite with a Komplete Audio 6, and found this video - as a long time Cakewalk / Sonar user, the session view is really inspiring!

[@edwardharris5161]

Yes!!! This is an actual beginners guide. Very clear and concise. Perfect.

[@jeeess1967]

The most easily understandable Ableton Live lessons. Kudos pal....Great job....

[@Tinto2]

Just bought myself ableton for xmas, im only an hour into this video and ive already learnt a tonne of stuff, thank you so much!!

[@dr.v.nagaraj4947]

I started learning Ableton even while you are demonstrating. Wonderful. Thank You.

[@mikaashkenazi3005]

This was such a helping tutorial! I've been wanting to learn Ableton for a while but didn't know how to begin, thank you! I recommend this to anyone who wants to start making music with the program🎹🎶

[@OceansUnravel]

This was a great starting point, thanks a lot and kudos to the Ableton devs, this tool is incredible!

[@aj6761]

Simply put, this tutorial is amazing.

[@paprikaveg405]

I’m a complete beginner, I’m really thankful at how much info you are giving, 👏🏾💕

[@xray111xxx]

Thank you thank you. I have been around a long time, and decided to take the plung on making my own music. You have really cleared the fog of confusion I was having. So unclear how to connect my keyboards especially. But thanks to you both work great in the midi channel, and my audio samples too. Now I am a happy camper. Very nice work, and so grateful you're here. I still have a ton to learn, so far on Lite, but if it all goes well, I'll get the full version. Thank you again.

[@pennyc7064]

I'm up to 42 minutes in the tutorial and so far I find your explanation is very easy to understand. Thank you!

[@DojoOfCool]

Thinking of getting into Ableton and this video answered a lot of questions. Thanks

[@Yuengling777]

Thank you! Very well done beginner tutorial! This video carefully walks you through Ableton's features and tells you how to use them.

[@69AfroThunder]

Might be the best video tutorial I've ever seen on *any* subject. At no point did I ever feel like I'd "lost the thread." Extremely well-presented and thoughtful execution. Only regret is that I didn't grab the full course for $20 when I had the chance.

[@marlonknockaert3233]

This is the best tutorial ever. No assuming the viewer knows every given term, and a clear understanding of over aspect without overlooking things that make seem “logical” to most DAW users. Thank you very much

[@elgrs5756]

I was almost ready to cry before i found your video because i've watched so many begginer tutorials yet they are not for beginners at all. Thank you for taking the time to make this video,this is the best video tutorial out there. I will gladly buy your course

[@3dmonkeybizz]

Perfect! All round brilliant. Super pace, super explanation! Many thanks!

[@7ONEIGHT]

Thank you for this. You made it so much easier to learn.

[@joey3441]

Exactly what I was looking for!!!Thank you for detailed information!!

[@5unnee]

Awesome! Just started this and I have already learned so much. Thank you for putting this onto youtube!

[@TomasGeorge]

Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying the video

[@BorisG13]

Thank you so much! I’m a Waveform 11 user previously only having used GarageBand mobile and so Ableton is pretty unusual to me but I’m committed to learning & mastering it and this will be of great help!

[@zanechristiansen]

im so excited to start creating in this software

[@Asaf_Laor]

Thank you very much for that great course. i just bought the full version

[@RockTop202]

This is by far the best tutorial I've seen. Made for actual beginners

[@by_antony]

As per the comment from Steve Briggs, I have just got to the end of the first 20minutes and I've learned a lot already. I have experience of using Cakewalk and MPC Beats and most DAWs are similar even though each process might go through a different series of steps to do the same thing, I am loving my introduction to Ableton Live Lite...... I have just purchased an M-Audio Keystation after my AKAI MPK mini became a little limiting with key size and octave range.

[@billgerard31]

Thank you. Well done. I learned everything I was wondering about and more. I appreciate it 🙏

[@adhdadhdadhd]

Amazing. just what i needed, thankyou Tomas George. Transitioning from Logic to Ableton because i have a beast of a gaming pc and a hundred year old mac

[@dovesfan1]

This is excellent. I'm new to all this and it was overwhelming and daunting at first. This video has really made me enjoy learning how it all works and settled me down. Thanks so much guys.

[@quintinbeekman]

Great stuff Tomas, thanks for all the effort & making this course.

[@grantharrison1403]

This is so helpful, thank you

[@lagoonalust]

this is major. never used ableton and this is helping me massivley, havent even finished the tut!

[@hawsrulebegin7768]

This is a very good tutorial. I’ve looked at Ableton over the years but never got into it. I’m too lazy to switch from Logic. But recently I got the Ableton Note app which made me want to try the software again. Thanks to you I’m starting to get into Ableton finally!! Thank you!!!

[@dennox1]

This is a brilliant video thank you so much I haven’t watched it all yet as I think I need to practice with ableton but that’s for taking it back to basics.

[@ShadowT23]

I love everyone who put effort into creating this video. Thank you all so very much.

[@joonykids]

This is the one. You are a great teacher!!

[@butterpup1471]

thank you! and the song sure does sound so beautiful!

[@ceceb]

i remember first watching this video a couple years ago and so happy how many more people has found this! This is BY FAR the absolute BEST tutorial your going to find on youtube for learning ableton. I've been through relentless searches and all others honestly was skipping around all over the place making it very confusing and just wanting to show off their beats. But this guy here does it the absolute best and makes things so understandable. I was completely clueless to music production until i stumbled across this video and I haven't been the same since. Making music is now a breeze using Ableton thanks to Thomas. 🔥🔥♥♥

[@marcinluka]

Now I know what the Ableton is and how it generally works! Great and thank you!

[@chloekutkusmorton7878]

Great stuff! Concise and everything I needed to know to get started!!

[@TomasGeorge]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video

[@rahulnair1459]

One of the best tutorials out there !!! you guys are rockstars !!!

[@BorisG13]

The session and arrangement views are brilliant! I haven’t even really used Ableton yet and can confidently say I’m going to love it’s workflow, it’s so intuitive, how don’t other DAWs have a similar feature is beyond me. DAWs are such complex programs, they incorporate so many different features, adding something that records your actions instead of you having to add everything manually only makes sense!

[@Kieyukuyurei]

It indeed makes forming song ideas so much simpler 😌

[@ThePawTrax]

Thank you for doing this. By far the most helpful and easiest to understand i have found.

[@mikehill6789]

The best tutorial I have found. Explained clearly and slow enough for beginners to easily keep up. Many of the others just go way to fast, thank you for getting me started !

[@Sportkids.]

I love this course. Within the first 20 minutes I made a rudimentary track I love when before I was clueless. I’m an hour in & I’m having so much fun & learning. Hi hats off to you. Thank you immensely. May God bless you with success & prosperity. ✌️❤️

[@davidcarter3976]

You really should be a comedian, high hats off to you made me laugh pretty heavy

[@heyicu]

Incredibly helpful!

[@jacklanuza7841]

Very well organised and beginner friendly. 1st time using this DAW and already learning alot thank you @Tomas George :)

[@woohdakid.3074]

bough your course earlier this year, got me up and running with ableton within 2 weeks. and to be honest, it’s been 6 months since i’ve learnt what i’ve learnt and i haven’t yet finished the course even, but i’ve gone on to complete full tracks already!:) easiest course ever, best one out there!

[@jeffreyabell9685]

Great job Tomas. Just watched the video and found it very insightful. Keep up the great work

[@markhall3323]

Very, very helpful thanks! Just the essential info presented professionally.

[@semmajya]

Thank you for this, you are awesome, i bought the course can't wait to start learning 💙

[@pahanwijesooriya1491]

[@underdogdev]

Thank you soooooo much!!!! True beginners tutorial, much appreciated!

[@peterlehman8448]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Totally familiar with sequencing and midi but totally new to software vs. hardware application. Thanks!

[@BaneslayerJoe]

I just want to say you are amazing. Putting all this time and effort into this video. Really special stuff, man.

[@giuseppe6119]

I've been searching and searching for videos...Wasted alot of time UNTIL I found your tutorial...I'm 16 minutes in and have a much more in-depth understamding of Ableton than I ever thought possible. OMIGOD this is SO GOOD :) 😍

[@xiangshu]

This is amazing! Thanks for record this tutorial. I thought I will never be able to understand how to use Ableton Live. Thanks you!

[@nicksmith5078]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial thank you so much

[@jssytvrs]

I took this man's udemy course on 11 very happy with it use it for reference lots. He is a beauty teacher stoked to see this I'll probably be following along for parts of 11 once bought lolol

[@natealanzo3979]

this helped me out a lot, thank you 🙏

[@ricardomaruta4134]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, all the info was amazing, best tutorial video for sure.. the time is worth
