The BASICS of Samples in Ableton Live For Beginners

[@StereoAnthony]

Went to school for music engineering and production, many years of recording and production in computers, but just couldn't wrap my head around Ableton. With your helpful videos, this 45 year old is now diving into electronic music production, which I've always wanted to learn. I also find your videos very straight forward and easy to understand. Thank you for your work!

[@Taetro]

thank YOU so much for the super thanks Anthony!

[@danielrodriguez8850]

Incredibly well deserved

[@laner4195]

wow 45 cool. I thought I am starting it late at my 25 years. Good to know that any age might start liking DAWs

[@jmartinky]

Dude. I've studied music for 40 years. I have a PhD (in a vastly different discipline) and am chair of an academic department at the university level. You are such an A-MAZE-ING instructor. Thanks so much for the tutorials!

[@Taetro]

thank you Justin for the super thanks!!!

[@Loumo]

@jmartinky Nice, what’s your PhD in?

[@BlackStratCat]

Agreed

[@JuhoSprite]

Skill issue

[@Macho_Beats]

Buy far the best Ableton video for my understanding. Thank you.

[@Taetro]

Thank you Macho!!

[@larrybwoy2970]

Bought myself an Arturia Keylab this month and started learning as much as I can about music theory, Ableton, Drum patterns and overall music creation. Your videos have been a tremendous help. Your laid back attitude and natural talent for explaining this stuff really keep me going! Thank you sir, it is highly appreciated!

[@iamOrangeFM]

It’s cool seeing so many people pick up learning music theory & creating in a DAW. I really appreciate your teaching style TAETRO. Its demystified a lot of fundamentals and hope everyone continues their learning process. Creating is what we do as humans. There’s room for all of us 🍊

[@vitomasilotti]

Good stuff Taetro! Ditto here. Just recently got Ableton myself, and your tutorials have been invaluable. Along with so many others, as it would seem here, I just couldn't resist letting you know, just out of sheer appreciation for your patience and work by painstakingly putting these videos together. Amazing job. And thanks so much. Can't wait to move on to the next tutorial. You actually make learning this DAW allot fun. Good show... 😊

[@marco_movie]

Hi! I came here because after a long while of using Logic Pro, I purchased Live. I remembered your tutorials for music production and so I was happy to see you made something for A'ton too.

[@modalities]

I can't imagine how long it would have taken me to get to this point in Ableton on my own. It's a feature-packed platform and those nitty-gritty details (like warping!) are golden nuggets. You are providing an immensely useful training for beginners. It's like you can read my mind on what I want to focus on next. Thank you!!

[@Taetro]

Glad I could help! thank you so much for the superchat and supporting the channel!!

[@Ikiguyy]

This gotta be the best video on KZbin, we need advanced sampling videos for the betterment of the earth!

[@Taetro]

I’m planning to make this! Can you let me know if there’s specific things / questions you have?

[@Ikiguyy]

@@Taetro how to loop with samples that don't fit a 4 bar loop (or any nice number). That would be great!

[@user-er4kw5mh1j]

Would love a video on advanced sampler techniques. Just getting started learning Ableton Daw and music production best practices and your videos are super helpful. Please keep sharing your knowledge and hands on experience!

[@liuandy_]

Complete newbie here and been working through this beginner series slowly. This video suddenly opened my mind to how many crazy things could be possible, can't wait to watch the rest!

[@djdazm]

Huge help. Love how he explains things. This video unlocked a barrier for me. Thank you! ❤

[@oliii3381]

thats crazy how easy is to learn with you i didn't even have to pause the video - perfect balance between learning and applying things at the same time, much love thank you!♥🎶

[@nathanberry919]

I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to do this for us all. I have wanted to get into music production for 15 years. I’ve tried to dabble here and there but have struggled to ever find a resource that could communicate things to someone who just cannot follow the language. Thank you so much. I’ve been writing ideas for 8 years on my loop station with organic instruments, saving those “scribbles” in hopes one day I could make them finished ideas. I’ll get there because of you.

[@JuanluGarcia]

Really loved this video. So useful and well explained

[@nicolasnicolas3889]

Yo Taetro! I got the Ableton trial this week and watched part one of your tutorials yesterday, great timing! Have a good week dude! ;D

[@gdal8539]

Thanks!

[@Taetro]

big thanks gdal!

[@yvesverstr]

Thank you for teaching me Ableton. This series are very goodfor a beginner like me. I enjoyed this very much, thank you for that. Keep posting.

[@mrburns143]

Thank you Taetro, I just continue learning with your videos. This channel is THE music production academy!

[@DanReederMusic]

This has been a great help. I had pretty much given up on ableton.

[@marionbonin5703]

This video, and this series so far, has been incredibly helpful. You're a fantastic teacher, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!!

[@dogchees]

Agree with most of these comments about how good these tutorials are. I bought a Launchpad Mini Mk2 years ago and gave up on it. Got it back out again and watched more tutorials and almost gave up again, but this one is great and I will probably watch all of your videos now. Thanks!

[@iamsimonmorris]

UNREAL I have been loving this whole series. I am totally(as in totally) new to Ableton so this has been my training ground. Thanks so much ...more of what you are doing with this...cheers

[@HansyPants184]

You're a great teacher, Taetro! I've been using Live for over 3 years and your vids are always worth watching even if just for one or two little nuggets. I would love to see a vid on library organization in Live. For example, using your previous samples/midi files in new projects, creating a groove library, etc. Basically just something that helps building a personal library within Ableton. Also, yes please to another chapter on sampling!

[@munindrajr3640]

thank you so much.✌ I have watched all of your Ableton beginner's videos and they really help me out with all my doubts. You’ve made a positive difference in my life. keep the good ideas coming...

[@theromanshow]

You have the ability to connect . And clearly explain. (Maybe politicians like you are needed! (Teatro for President!)

[@redpeople2192]

Thanks Taetro, a brilliant tutorial on Simpler and Warping. You explain things so well and make it so easy to understand.

[@88keysLA]

I love how knowledgeable you are but yet completely gentle. Thank you for being you.

[@this-sky]

That right click Simpler to Sampler conversion is exactly what I needed. I wanted to the warped notes feature in Simpler but also wanted the better ping pong loop feature in Sampler. Thank you so much for the tip!!! Googling was no help

[@bennis123]

Absolutely love your tutorials. You have a gift when it comes to communicating clearly the right amount of information to keep the listener engaged.

[@Halcyon111]

I love how clearly you explain things.

[@Halcyon111]

PS As far as a direction to go after this (as you mentioned) do you have now, or are you planning to walk us through creation of a few songs, step by step, in a way that we can follow along with yuo at home? Thanks again.

[@shawngibb1170]

Absolute beginner here. So much more confident after watching this series and I know what a lot more of the words actually mean. Very well laid out and explains each change made.

[@Rhinom11]

Hey man! Just wanted to say I’m loving your content. This series is quite awesome. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@yubasunproductions2494]

Great lesson! Been using live for 20 years and still learned things, great work! 🎉

[@Taetro]

this is actually really awesome to hear 😭

[@Pretending_To_Trumpet]

Whoa, my mind is blown. Sampling seems like an incredible deep world. Man, this is gonna be my homework for tonight. Thank you for making this awesome video.

[@user-yo2mpiG]

Started watching you from the music theory videos, got hooked up with playing music, bought a minilab 3 to learn by playing, and i intend to watch every playlist you made to help me get the grasp of the music world, thanks for inspiring me and giving me the stimulus to start practicing what i love, you are a huge gift for everyone that loves music and wants to learn about it, hope you good and stay cool

[@cccccccccc263]

thank you thank you thank you so much for this series. i'm just getting started with music production and your videos make the whole journey super accessible and exciting, i'm so happy.

[@ignatirabo]

You're the GOAT of Ableton tutorials. It's crazy

[@ianmillarjazz]

These tutorials are absolutely awesome!!!! Thank you so much, Taetro!

[@LuisTorres-qz5kr]

Great job on these tutorials, much appreciated! Thank you!

[@mikeharding9413]

Very easy to follow. Good teaching style . Yes more advanced sampling techniques and tip would be welcome by myself and no doubt many .Big Love

[@JamesTeel-z4q]

Thank you so much for these videos! They have been great getting me started with Abelton Live!

[@rijadhrustanbegovic9039]

[@sie315]

Awesome video as always Taetro! Also Yes please on the advanced sampling tutorial you mentioned; I would love to learn more

[@blindboydevita]

you are an INCREDIBLE teacher!!!! I got ableton live knowing nothing about it and just followed your guides pretty much exclusively, and now i can confidently say that for me.... ableton is here to stay!! 🙂

[@mtundunoiz]

Very good and easy to follow guide, thanks so much. I have always been struggling with simpler/sampler

[@remt13]

Man you are like Ableton's god!! you are the best with your explanations I appreciate you

[@harrycallaghan22]

Super useful tutorial. More of this please. Really appreciate it.

[@nil_blank]

This is great! Would love a deeper dive on this topic at some point, but this is plenty to chaw on for now.

[@glennflannery]

Absolutely love all your videos, been eating them up this week, absolutely zero experience in any of this but youve given me enough confidence to get started and see what happens, my Novation Launchkey Mk3 49 is arriving today, lets go!!!

[@Taetro]

Let’s gooooooo!!

[@kthewriterman]

I hit subscribe and like 20 seconds in. Could already tell from your tone and character that this was the goods. Such a sick tutorial. Salute.

[@Taetro]

thanks so much! I hope you enjoy the full series!

[@RadicarloArt]

I really like this series. I am getting an Mpk mini mk 3 on christmas. Very helpful to get some knowledge before getting started

[@sahuaro6144]

Hi Taetro,I just want to say Muchas gracias. This lessons are actually very inspiring.

[@Carolina-vn3ip]

This series has helped me a lot! The way you have organized it makes everything easier to understand. Anyways, a big thanks all the way from Brasil.

[@justingaumont7308]

Yes please! More advanced sampling techniques

[@seanc9088]

Awesome as always. You're a great teacher. I'd be interested to see a more advanced sampling video if you keep this course going. Something like chopping up a sample and creating a song around it if that's something you're interested in doing. Thanks for all the content!

[@Taetro]

good to hear! thank you Sean C!

[@jacekwoynarowski7484]

Thank you TEATRO! It is a great series! I learn a lot from you! Well done! Excellent and precise tutorial for the beginner! You're the BEST! Thanks a lot!

[@farzinfarsi]

insanely helpful . your videos have made my life so much easier thank you very very much

[@dikamualchin]

I just started using Ableton Live, or any kind of DAW I've ever used. You are my go to channel regarding my beginner's questions! Great content..👍👍

[@Taetro]

Happy to help! Thank you!

[@lsdsoup2988]

great video learned a ton. would LOVE to see a pt.2 that covers the more advanced stuff. cheers!

[@Younglovefast]

Video about side chaining or basics to music theory start to end episodes on creating a song , song structure maybe

[@emcee19.05]

He already has a series on music theory, something like 5-6 videos 😉

[@pooyasedighi990]

bro, you are the best teacher I ever had

[@watthedevil]

YES more sample content!!! Especially using launchkey mini !

[@arminbehroozifar6890]

Ahhhaha the fun rythm that was created due to unwarping the kick was very cool. Thans for your professionalism and nice style man 🎩

[@Bashanvibe]

Thank you for making my learning curve understandable now

[@farimehr4103]

This series is a gem truly

[@Taetro]

Thank you! I’ll be adding to it soon!

[@FiercyRabbit1]

Hey Taetro, long time fan here! Ableton is familiar to me personally but I'd be very interested in your guide for content creation and combined media. You're quite visual and have a cool aesthetic that works perfectly with your musicality. Maybe you could shed light on questions like: 1. What kind of software you use in your editing? 2. What color grading you do and any insight for the LUT's you use or recommend? 3. Tips on how do you sync your audio with the video or multiple videos from different perspectives? 4. What's your streaming setup software wise? 5. Do you use Abletons video playback to sync with the audio or just use a different platform to sync the tracks? Maybe some future video ideas?

[@karacoldmusic]

I agree with this. Maybe after you've finished the whole Ableton series and if you have time....I feel like the "how" of how content creators create their content is kept very secret by everyone.

[@Taetro]

Thank you Simalaa! I’ve actually done a video on my video creation process AND did a full members workshop on it as well. Since this is a music channel, it’s tough to make dedicated content about making KZbin vids. But those are the best places to start.

[@lamune5]

You are incredible man. Thank you so much

[@silentlysound7213]

Thank you!!!! I found tuning the sample to be very helpful

[@ventusmoses3428]

def would like to see more sampling vids! Came over from FL and liking Ableton a lot more was worried I wouldn't like sampling or the piano in Ableton

[@flaviocampos8053]

best teacher ever!!

[@NeuralBeatz]

great stuff. from knowing nothing to making my own music! please keep teaching!

[@Taetro]

I love to hear it

[@dustyaudio]

Just upgraded to Intro. Thanks for doing this, I’m self taught so this absolutely helps me find things I missed or never knew about

[@Taetro]

Stoked to hear it!

[@b00ts4ndc4ts]

Just noticed that it a year ago since you made this comment and just out of interest are you still using Ableton? If so how you getting on with it?

[@dustyaudio]

@@b00ts4ndc4ts I still use it. Mostly to track audio & mix my stuff at this point. Live 12 didn’t seem to have much for me, I’m still on 11 Intro and it works for me and my situation.

[@trifri-iy7pi]

u r too smart bruh! keep droppin' videos, helpin' me fr!

[@ashdeen]

This video was super helpful, going to have a lot of fun sampling my voice :) Would definitely love to see an advanced sampling techniques video in the future!

[@peterbuisseret1195]

Thank you so much for these instructional videos! The initial dive into music production was very daunting, but your "Beginners" series has really helped me to get started. Incredible stuff: thank you!!!

[@TheChameleon2008]

great video and hope to see a ableton note video in the future if possible!

[@kerwinalexander6836]

Another great video. Keep them coming!!

[@gdal8539]

Thanks Taetro - genius stuff

[@lastdaysofhumanityy]

27:13 bro got a perfect 5 to 4 polyrhythm by coincidence..

[@j7d6]

Hi TAETRO Thank you so much for your Work! I am learning a lot with your Videos.

[@tarunsetty109]

Love the video!!!! Please make Pt.2!!

[@laloluckyman1]

Another awesome lesson! Thanks mate!

[@jijfl]

Thanks for all the helpful videos Taetro…

[@williampare9199]

Very helpful! You are the best to explain

[@noahdekoning7716]

I would love to see your way of explaining plugins like Serum! Love the vids and your teaching method, really helps Ableton feel less overwhelming and simplifies the complex stuff :)

[@haroldwhitfield6423]

Superb teaching ability💯

[@benjaminlehmann]

Really helpful, man. Appreciate it

[@Taetro]

happy to hear it. Thanks Benjamin.

[@arnaudquenneville-langis1005]

Wonderful video! Thanks so much

[@benjaminjacome]

This was super clear and helpful!

[@Taetro]

I'm so glad!

[@streetguyrj]

I got live 11 suite & never knew about sampler 🤯 Can you do an in-depth song sampling video because I love these videos I learn something new everytime.

[@Poetictruthseeker777]

Can you please add a video about building beats for rap?? Youre the only instructor on YT that i watch and understand.

[@wozowski]

Learnt a lot from this. Thanks.

[@Taetro]

Awesome thank you Warrick!

[@EdwardKemp]

Yo wild, I was actually trying this out the other day and was completely lost 😆

[@GrillChillDavis]

I would love to see another video on sampling or a series if you are up to it. I feel like this allows unlimited creativity. Thank you!! P.S. Great Channel!!

[@Taetro]

I love sampling so we might just have to make that happen! Thank you for watching!!

[@brejon4054]

the series is definitely helping. 😄

[@jasonknowles2397]

awesome work learnt so much

[@Taetro]

Happy to hear!

[@bigfuzzztv787]

Excellent episode,...

[@hurricane6014]

I’ve found another good teacher. Subscribe now. Thank you for all you do. 🤓

[@ganantharaja]

This is a gold mine Brother, I am just about to create an instrument with hand drum Parai, I will try your steps😍

[@yeniel]

Is my first time using a DAW and this tutorial is amazing. Is really fun when you show some cool feature and I stop the video and spend maybe one hour playing with it and discovering new sounds. Is amazing and addictive, time flies. Thank you!!! I have a lot of gaps in basic DAW concepts like the different between slot rec button, audio rec button, session rec button... but I will see again your videos :) Is possible with to play with multiple instruments at the same time? to perform a riff or a break in a live session. Thank you again!!!
