[@BALTDGuitar]

This is the same comment I see on every ableton tutorial I have seen which is well over 10 by now

[@VortexArtUk]

totally agree well made🤩

[@NigelAinscoe]

This guy is a natural teacher.

[@rodrigogallego3148]

My friends on a Friday night: ¨Dude, we are going to dance tonight, are you coming? ¨ Me: ¨Sorry, guys I have a date... (Ableton Live for Beginners PT2 by Taetro)¨

[@Taetro]

[@JUSTNTIME.]

[@maxdiehl1101]

This comment goes so hard

[@MichelLedig]

OMG me irl

[@rosesinthegard3n]

so ive literally been trying to make music for 10 years, and every time it felt like i was banging my head against a brick wall. i truly thought other people just got it and i would never get it. but it turned out all i needed was the right teacher. i cannot thank you enough. i am finishing a demo today and i could not have done it without you. i hope you're having a lovely day!

[@IkeMann100]

Hands down your Part 1&2 Beginner tutorials are the best beginner tutorials for Ableton Live anywhere on the internet. I cannot thank you enough! It feels as if i am a baby and you’re teaching me how to walk! Thank you thank you! ❤️

[@Taetro]

You're very welcome!!!

[@willshaw72]

I'm so amazed at your teaching videos, you put so much care into them. You're amazing compared to other KZbinrs. :)

[@Taetro]

[@DiMK_46]

Ahh you just stole this from my mouth bro! @TAETRO you are so incredible and friendly!! Always remind to arm the chanel. again and again. And what a lovely transfer ability, to carriage! Thank you 1000 times!

[@VortexArtUk]

here here agree 100%

[@evezhang9596]

man you know you have a very soothing way of talking and teaching. You just make people naturally want to listen when you speak, and conveying the knowledge in such a comfortable way. I can't believe I even enjoy listening to you introducing sponsors and ads. I wouldn't even skip that part given the chance. Crazy good work man

[@ansonng9621]

I just love the "CRINGE!" at 19:30🤣 thank you very much taetro for making this tutorial, super helpful 😇

[@Taetro]

🤣🤣🤣

[@simonhauwaerts4833]

I've been trying to so hard to figure ableton out through youtuve videos, forums, hell even tiktok videos, but this series is by far the best! so well-paced, concise yet giving you all the info that's necessary for a beginner like me. Thank you!!!

[@MusicaRiah]

Taetro, you’re the best! Your teaching style is topnotch - organized, clear, and palatable for beginners. There are those who excel in music production but unable to teach others. You not only know your craft; you CAN TEACH it quite effectively. What a blessing! Thank you 🎶🎼🎹🎧🎤

[@matthewgormley1626]

DUDE. I have not felt motivated by anyone else on youtube. You're a great teacher.

[@Taetro]

Woooo! You can do it!

[@gluedtogames]

he's incredible, right?? I'm at work watching these and cannot wait to get home and start creating

[@user-pp9no8dz2l]

You’re a very good teacher. Thank You!

[@BlueberryBrambleCat]

Thank you .Right pace, right flow, right amount of content.

[@Brandtstenberg]

You're truly an incredible teacher! Everything is easy to follow, you go at a pace that's conducive to beginner learning and you know exactly which parts you need to explain a little further than others. You're killin' it good Sir!

[@zombiesatethem]

Part 1 and Part 2 literally taught me all the basics on how to use Ableton Live 11. This was incredibly well put together and linear. Thank you.

[@thomasrogers-vc2mx]

Thanks dude, and thank you so much DistroKid. Im just loving these sessions. It's starting to come together now, I would not have got this far in such a short period without your help, much appreciated.

[@SolMusicIndia]

This is way better than other videos out there on ableton

[@GardinerC74]

Superb explainers Taetro, thank you!

[@PatrickClemmond]

Thanks again Taetro, awesome, love your teaching style man, you are an asset to the Ableton community.

[@ashiqurrahman1469]

Thanks a Million, love the way you present ❤

[@jlrounds2008]

Again, thanks, you do an amazing job with your pace and explanations, you are appreciated!

[@djenemy36ms]

Ty your the most understanding person I found on here for tutoring me on Abelton live!!😇😇😇

[@phillhart2990]

watching these vids sequentially and my son is lapping it up. Can't thank you enough for putting this content together in such a simple, yet detailed way. You're a legend!

[@christopherlowery7952]

Thank you for these! Just started out and these videos are helping me understand the program and you music theory videos are helping me make music!

[@jeetray11]

Thank you so much for these two lessons. It totally demystified Ableton Live for me.

[@allx7912]

Thank you so much for making this and for free! Your tutorials have been the most comprehensive and well paced for beginners like myself. I was wholly intimidated by the UI at first but after learning just how intuitive and easy to use it is from your first video, it's not too bad.

[@modo5180]

Superb series…I’ve had a frustrating time with using DAWs before finding Taetro…really great teacher. Thanks so much!

[@Ratatosk80]

Just wanted say thanks for this beginner series. Watched the first two parts and you explain everything in a very easy to understand fashion. Been on the fence if I should get into music production, learning to use a DAW, but after finding these videos I might just give Ableton live a go. My goal is to be able to create some rave/techno songs to use when I'm exercising. Train cycling and thought it would be cool to have music tailored to fit my cycling workouts. So tempo adjusted to fit specific interval sessions and whatnot. Just seemed like a fun thing to do. :)

[@drewfasa]

Best channel I've found on beatmaking and composition. First time I've ever joined a member group - thanks for the great content!

[@mistersezam]

Simply the best tutorials for beginners, just keep going for more tutorials and thanks a lot.

[@CausticCreations]

doooode, and it's in 4k. you rock. thanks. doing the whole playlist. much love mate.

[@jesperholm2959]

A thousand thank you for helping my and others out 🙏🏽🔥

[@Axefast]

just want to thank you for these tutorials! well done!

[@maxkaye3221]

Never would have thought that I'd Finally find a tutorial that explains EVERYTHING bit by bit, stupid question after stupid question. I feel like a kid, learning about the universe again, and it's awesome. Seriously, one thing I'm even more glad for, is finding this series months after the first episode, so now I can binge-learn at my own pace!)

[@jerryk3280]

Ableton can be a frustrating DAW but seems to be worth learning for certain electronic music purposes.

[@dressageamateur]

Thanks Taeto, very good. Yesterday I did the first session and now I'm listening to the 2nd session

[@McDaniel12341]

Thanks so much! Very well made tutorial and visualisation.

[@camelion7244]

Thank you so much! This was incredibly helpful. My vocal coach recommended you and I'm so grateful. I've been looking around for years for content like this

[@ethanhahn]

Just got my midi keyboard and started my 90 day Ableton live trial! Appreciate what you do!

[@That90sGuyCovers]

So I loved the video... Starting off my day with a cup of coffee, Live and Taetro is becoming a thing around here. You are getting through... thank you so so much.

[@Sergio-ls6cg]

Taetro, you are as a nice teacher as you're a very talented musician. Thank you for your art

[@JamesPearson]

You are such a great teacher, very impressive and much appreciated - thank you!

[@Vic-ho5px]

Wow finally I know how to work with both arrangement and session view ! thanks u so much for the tutorials really learned a lot ! :3

[@thelasthop3035]

EXTREMELY well done good sir, you're a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for getting me on my right foot for making awesome music!

[@juansantiago1128]

I appreciate you for your teaching on this software, I didn't know how to use it, but by watching you I'm learning how to use it now.

[@mathewhenson4029]

Amazing tutorials. Really clear and concise :) Really appreciate the great work!

[@anavarandas307]

Amazing way of explaining, finally im getting motivated to learn more about this software, just because I found you! Thank u very much, dont stop making videos for us

[@bondar1987fm]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills ! You are a very good teacher 🙏

[@shadyelswaisy3771]

Duuudddeeeee .... You literally answer every question that I didn't even know how to ask! your videos are extremely on point! thank you for taking the time and dumbing things down to the dummy level! please keep the content coming!

[@MissSpiderRider]

I'm so so glad you're doing this series! I felt very lost when I opened Ableton for the first time and I got really frustrated when things didn't work and I did not know why. Your videos have been helping a lot!

[@Taetro]

Glad to hear it!

[@Bashanvibe]

Same here I gave it up a few years ago trying to learn I’ve been following you for a while now I’m my first week giving it another chance now I’m finding out some of the features and short cuts are the same as LPX

[@Yosser70]

just learning Ableton and this is a fantastic resource! Thank you man 👍🏻

[@pennyc7064]

Your style of teaching is excellent. Everything you teach is so detailed so that a beginner like myself can understand. I like that you talk at a slower pace than most others on YT which makes learning less overwhelming. Thank you!

[@allangauthier6307]

Man your videos are really helpful. Coming from studio one 5, and its bit of learning curve especially with the session view. Solid work bro. Love it

[@CoolThangz]

best teacher ever. Actually goes through each step slowly allowing any noob to easily follow

[@modalities]

Thank you Taetro - another great "beginner's" video. So many other's do not provide enough of the detail that I've spent hours trying to figure out and only getting lost. No more. 😁

[@ryaneinrem7812]

Absolutely love these. Thank you.

[@jeffvansprew2716]

My learning curve is almost flat. So I'm so pleased with your patience and the way you explain. Makes me feel a bit less stupid 😉. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

[@Ed-vc1rl]

Thanks for this mate, great lessons.

[@MrTzompy]

amazing explanation, i recently bought a midi controller for learning and create music and this video made it easy for those who never used a recording software.

[@Neemiworld11]

I'm a filmmaker learning music and Ableton for the first time. You make it so easy to understand what I need to know to play around. I'm having a lot of fun learning from you. Thank you so, so much for these tutorial videos. (AND your videos all look so awesome. Great lighting, production design, editing. etc. 👍)

[@krzysztofsztuk7393]

Thanks for the tutorials man, I really though Ableton is suuuuper complicated, but after you explaining everything I actually began to understand and like it. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

[@xkirby76]

I have been looking for a while someone, who is able to explain Live from the basics. I'm pretty sure i've found him. You are a very great tutor, you are perfectly understandable, thank you for your work, time and effort. Keep up the good work. Thank you!

[@nil_blank]
