The Least Confusing Ableton Tutorial On The Internet (for ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS)

[@johnnyv303]

Bruhhh where you been all my life, 7:20 "B" for "Busted" and "C" for "Clean" def. my learning style! 😂😂😂

[@jonnythegenie]

bro i'm glad i'm not the only one who it makes sense to because beats warp mode is so obviously busted

[@chezcakthemanlyjake155]

Haven’t had the motivation to start working in Ableton because it was so confusing but you did the opposite of everyone else. You paid extra attention to small stuff and put aside stuff we didn’t need to mess with starting out. Stuff like that always gets overlooked in other videos. Ima start working on stuff tonight

[@jonnythegenie]

Nice congrats on getting started!!! The tutorials I used to watch would ALWAYS leave out the small stuff and talk way too much about stuff no beginner would feel comfortable with, so I'm happy you got some value from this!!

[@KZAHNCHO]

That part! Is alot when its new, and to have someone go step by step for absolute beginners was what I needed!

[@Marti12349]

Im in shock. Finally someone who says "for beginners" and then it's actually for beginners. Thank you.

[@jonnythegenie]

couldn't be happier than to hear this thank you

[@purinsat]

Please make DAY2! This video is super amazing. It saved me a ton of time and confusion with this giant software.

[@jonnythegenie]

Glad this helped!! Will do

[@lilyrecords]

Thank you so much for this. I have always wanted to start producing my own music but Ableton has always been so intimidating- this was such a great and clear start. Can't wait to watch the other videos!

[@jonnythegenie]

yes lily!! Yo did u actually write that expanded in bloom song on ur channel?

[@lilyrecords]

@@jonnythegenie I did indeed, hopefully getting it recorded with my band soon! Until then gonna try make a demo of it on Ableton which is why these videos have came massively in handy!

[@PaulvanOsss]

This is amazing clear! Thank you so much. You convinced me very elegantly to go for Ableton.

[@exotichordz819]

hey man just wanted to tell u that out of all the tutorials ive watched n theres a lot, you explained tf out of the basics and small things in ableton just got a lk 37 that im trying to mess with. im a vocalist coming from reaper ...reaper was just way too confusing and i felt like i was looking at a spreadsheet. couldnt ever find anything. im sure its great when u learn it but i think im going to rock with ableton 11lite 4 now..def keep making these you have a great way of explaining things . ill def be watching more thx

[@jonnythegenie]

nice dude glad this was helpful for u!! Yeah reaper can be a little spreadsheet-y. I think sticking with ableton is a great move. I have a bunch of vocal videos planned so hopefully those will get you comfortable with your new mic!

[@chasethejag2532]

Hey Bro Love your teaching style. I’ve had Ableton for years but I was always intimidated to start. I tried watching tutorials but there were so many that I didn’t know where to begin. Any I did watch were either really boring or didn’t make sense as a beginner. I was gifted in school but something about music production has always intimidated me. It’s genuinely broken my heart that I haven’t been able to make music or learn how to do it for so long. I’ve wanted this for ten years but life just keeps getting in the way. I’m really trying this time and I want you to know you’re a huge part of it. Your teaching style and casual laid back nature are amazing. You have a gift for teaching in a way that is engaging. I notice you haven’t posted recently but keep going with this. I think you can go far. I’m really glad I stumbled upon this tutorial amongst a sea of other more popular trash. Love from Australia

[@jonnythegenie]

WOW dude I really appreciate you sharing this and also what you've said about my teaching style it honestly means a lot to me. I totally understand where you're at because I have a similar relationship to posting on social media (and still kind of do). Life just keeps getting in the way. As frustrating as it is, if you can use sheer grit to force yourself to spend even 15 minutes a day just to learn one little thing in Ableton, the results you'll have over the span of a year (even over just a few months) will be WILD. Sounds like you're like me in the sense that 15 minutes a day just seems pathetic and like "that amount of time pales in comparison to what I know my potential is, so why would I even bother unless I can bring myself to go all in?" But truthfully man, after probably a month or so, I bet you find yourself WANTING to spend more than 15 minutes each day because you'll actually be encouraged by the progress you're making. You'll likely need to use less pure grit and be able to rely more heavily on actual inspiration to drive you. Fills me with joy to know my videos are contributing to you getting started and I'm absolutely posting more!!!

[@SLEPR.]

Love your teaching style: not condescending, not too fast and a very friendly and welcoming vibe overall. Thank you!!

[@jonnythegenie]

this means a lot to me thank you

[@libbywilcox7543]

Thank you!!! I have been sitting on this software for a few months so confused! This was exactly what I needed! Looking forward to doing all your tutorials

[@jonnythegenie]

Oh hell yeah i'm so happy to hear this thank you!!!

[@SandyStarSong]

Thank you so much. I'm new to Ableton and use the Standard version. So many other videos say that they aim for the Ableton beginner but I find them either to advance or only use tools in the Ableton suite version. Your content explanation and style is amazing. Keep up this great work 😊

[@jonnythegenie]

No problem!! Yeah i totally agree with you about "beginner" videos actually being too advanced most of the time. I appreciate the compliment!!!

[@fumblefunk222]

I subbed. Best tutorial I've seen so far hands down 😂

[@jonnythegenie]

Oh hell yeah thank you!!!

[@temotugushi2602]

Bro amazing video, you give us huge motivation,thanks for that. PLEASE make day 2🙏

[@jonnythegenie]

Thank you!!! I put Day 2 up it’s on the channel!!

[@Bashanvibe]

Great info 👊🏾

[@jonnythegenie]

Thank u im glad it helps!!

[@eaabr9595]

Love your teaching style..! So great...!

[@jonnythegenie]

love that it's connecting with you!!!! thank u for watching so much

[@melodicprogressivehousemph6429]

We all owe this guy coffee at the very least. Cheers matey.

[@jonnythegenie]

I will accept the coffee wholeheartedly

[@kovacsbarbara9552]

Thank you so much for these videos! Finally I made some progress with Ableton :) You are really amazing! I needed this push.

[@jonnythegenie]

this basically made me cry in a good way so thank YOU!!!

[@kovacsbarbara9552]

@@jonnythegenie would it be greedy to ask for more guiding in Ableton and music production?

[@jonnythegenie]

it's coming!!!! what do u need help with most?

[@kovacsbarbara9552]

​@@jonnythegenie I am writing songs in vocal form, so I plan to build everything around the vocals, and I think I would need to work more with building midi tracks. I am not sure yet, but it seems like building your midi gives the most freedom in creating melodies, when you don't have that much equipment and skill to record instruments. Can you please explain more about building midi, or even vocal editing? I appreciate your channel so much! :) Thank you! You are the best :D

[@jonnythegenie]

Ok I understand and also that's awesome to build songs around vocals. I'll make sure to show some MIDI stuff in upcoming videos! For now though this video I made should help a bit! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4DJhqiBpdyqr68

[@rodneyalexander4006]

Thank you!! You r so funny. I love your sessions.

[@jonnythegenie]

Haha thanks man I appreciate this I’ll post more asap

[@KZAHNCHO]

I needed this so bad! Thank you!!

[@jonnythegenie]

hell yeah dude!

[@eaabr9595]

Best video content ever... amazing. Thanks...!

[@jonnythegenie]

YAY!! you're welcome!!!

[@DClighting19]

Thank you!!!!!!!

[@jonnythegenie]

yeahhhh!!!!

[@DV-SOLUSI-DIABETES]

Waiting for part 2 3 4 etc....🎉

[@jonnythegenie]

I uploaded 2 more and there's more coming!

[@ReyohBeats]

hey jonny lars student here. quick question. clip envelopes are essentially automation but for a clup specifically correct? with just being able to modulate mixing parameters?

[@jonnythegenie]

yo yeah exactly the clip envelope tab allows you to control automation of just the one clip you're working with. Very helpful for duplicating something and retaining all it's automation info without needing to adjust anything in the actual timeline of your project. I especially use the "transposition" parameter CONSTANTLY in the clip envelope tab on audio clips it goes so hard

[@ReyohBeats]

BROOO omg out of the research i did you def explained better. I've recently been learning some advanced stuff like setting up my macro knob values and setting up audio effect racks. Any max for live plug in recommendations?@@jonnythegenie

[@ReyohBeats]

oooh okay for sure. bro i swear this explanation was way easier to understand then all the other vids ive seen lol. appreciate it. what max for live plug ins do you recommend?@@jonnythegenie

[@jonnythegenie]

hell yeah man happy to hear that!! I'll def do an audio effect rack video once I get a few more beginner videos out of the way. As far as max for live I've only really been messing with "Real Time Pitch to MIDI" and "NoteHolder". The pitch to midi one basically turns audio into midi in real time like so u can make a guitar be midi at the same time as you play it. That way u can put MIDI effects on it while you play it live. And NoteHolder is just a trigger that makes the last note you played just hang on forever until u turn it off.

[@ono4897]

you have beautiful eyes jonny

[@jonnythegenie]

omg thank you!
