Thanks for the video, you just save me a massive amount of time. You know, it would be better if you used a keyboard capture, because sometimes I forget how to do some kind of the or just dont understand what buttons you pressed when you did something with audio track, but anyways thanks!!!

anytime anyone asks me anything about ableton ill let them know about this video, if i ever have any question about ableton i will watch this video. this is absolutely insane, the work you re putting in to help the community is just amazing. thank you for everything

[@redpillbulgaria-v2.063]

This video is not for beginners though... The way he explains things assumes that the viewers have previous experience with DAWs other than LIVE and understand concepts like sidechaining, automation etc... I'm only at the first hour but it seems a bit too fast paced & the terminology is definitely for people who understand music production which kind of defeats the purpose, but it is still very useful for people who already have some knowledge about LIVE but want to expand on it...

[@learninmusicprod]

@@redpillbulgaria-v2.063Yes you're correct! I'm switching from FL and this tutorial has been most helpful because of the same reason that it's rather fast paced than the other ones out there that cater to people who are starting out with music production. If I was a beginner, it would have been way tougher going through this because of the reasons you pointed out already.

[@grimfrog11]

you're a GOD. you better be sponsored by Ableton as well for tutorials this thorough. 10/10 stuff man, love your page.

[@M00NMAC]

This is the best thing ever. Totally underrated, thank you so much Oversampled!

[@MarianaMonteiro-jk1bv]

Just started on some self taught musical production and you youtube channel is a gem! Thank you so much, when you have no idea how to do what you want, these types of videos are super helpful

[@WhizPill]

Just like that you collectively saved an entire community of future producers A FUCK TON of head ache.

[@_madonkey_]

Huge props to you putting this out to educate us all! Always good to be reminded of some shortcuts or some tools that we may not be using in our everyday productions. I feel like everyone could benefit from this!

[@Kitty_Cosmic]

I downloaded Ableton Live 11 yesterday. I have had some experience with Fl but only a year. Can't wait to learn this it's so exciting

[@maxmeyer6395]

I've been using live for 3 years now and I've still learned so many new things just by watching about 1/2 an hour

[@aichi337]

Incredible! Thank you so much Peter! Can't believe you share this for free!

[@atherasdin]

Who else is waiting on that 5 hour sequel drop for Ableton 12 😎

[@Oversampled]

I'm waiting for future Peter to make it 😊

[@thrashhmusic]

god bless you sir this is the perfect speedrun ableton tutorial for people who already know what they're doing with music/DAWs but don't know Ableton. Not a lot of videos that distill it down like this out there thank you!

[@sylvainconsult969]

Hello sir ! Ableton Live is an old friend of mine but you show me some very interesting workflow with your fresh eyes ! And i have to say that your speed to operate it is so impressive. i wish the best for u from France

[@odin_music]

After seeing all his videos for so long, I can CONFIRM that Aiden is a MESSIAH!!! Bless his soul 🙌

[@BurraBoys]

Genuinely the most complete and well made tutorial ever. Just switched to Ableton after using Fl for years so I didn't want to watch beginner tutorials going over basic fucking production things, I wanted to know exactly where everything is

[@adsr-]

Thank you so much for the MPE part, FL studio user from early 2000's, i was searching for note glide in ableton live's piano roll... Really useful video !

I'm 2 and a half hours in. So far this is SUCH a good video. Thank you Oversampled. 🙂

I've been using Live since version 9 and finally purchased when 11 launched. Thanks for putting this tutorial on YT for free my brotha - I learned some new workflow concepts.

[@lewisforsythe1403]

I agree!... that you're not worthy. Now go to pawn shop and get a cassette deck. Even that's out of your league.

[@roooooin]

I kept running away from Ableton because it always looked very much like it’s very hard to master and so crowded. Also every musician I know told me how much they detested Ableton. BUT, due to budget limitations(meaning: I had once gotten Live 11 Lite from someone and was out of trials of FL Studio & Logic and no money to buy either one) I decided to put some effort into learning it and I have to say now that I’m beginning to like it. A LOT! Thanks for making this in-depth tutorial, I was looking for exactly that and as much results returned from searching it, a lot of them are either hard to follow or assume I know things which were what I wanted to learn in the first place. A question though, as I mentioned I have Live 11 Lite, at which point would I need to upgrade and to which one, what are the differences between all those versions?

[@tx3851]

This is insane!....Such a fantastic course, and to put it out for free....I am so grateful....I have now found your website, so will purchase from there, to say thankyou for this....

[@sedrickgomis275]

thanks for this, Ableton is really a crazy production tool and daw especially in the sound design section, you are very quick and a master at operating this daw. This DAW though... it lacks so much functionality and simple things, like a smart plugin manager, stem and multitrack export options, the I/O section is about 10 years behind probably even further. The workflow in something like studio one is way more superior. anyway once again ! thank you ! I will try my best to give it a good shot !

[@Humanity-d2s]

Bro please help me any idea how we can crk ableton 12 live and download it. Which website i have to use and what will be the steps. I tried but unable to do it.

I came here from the audio effects video, this video is even crazier, although I have read the user manual of live (which is very detailed and user-friendly), I still decided to watch your video this week, I haven't watched it yet, but I believe it will be of great help. To be honest, if there is no limit to the number of likes, I would like to give you 100 likes.
