Your First Drum Beat in Ableton Live 11 | Beginners Tutorial

[@HER-icaneForceProductions]

FINALLY a tutorial that explained this in a way that made sense to me after a week-long war with Ableton Live Lite 11 trying to figure it out. So helpful -- thank you! Subscribed.

[@Nocsucal-BeatGod]

Exactly. Everyone else typically start well into the project and fly through it never addressing any hurdles that could come up. Or leave out what are extremely helpful tips. 3 minutes in and I’ve learned as much as 20 other vids I’ve watched collectively. This is a perfect tutorial

[@lyndensterley4734]

At LAST!!!!!! A tut that shows how to create some beats in arrangement view with everything explained and worded for the beginner. You are a LIFE SAVER

[@KruciferOfficial]

I wish I could give you a hug for showing us all of this lol. Dude I have been using Ableton for yearssss and have not had the time to really sit and do this stuff. And you did it in 20 mins.

[@juliamajchrzak1967]

i rarely comment on yt, but this video is just amazing! so easy to follow, and makes it super fun to see the whole thing come to life. you're a lifesaver!!

[@jsabo1929]

Best absolute-beginner drum tutorial for ableton that I've seen. Well done!

[@DoverDanny]

Thank you! There are those that know the stuff but can't teach it , and there are those who can teach and know the stuff. Your video is been a great lesson and well taught. 👍👍👍

[@Bashanvibe]

This makes so much sense and easy to understand I wish I had found this years ago when I was still using 9 lite

[@EA_SKAAN]

this helps alot more than the other tutorials, doesn't promote his paid sound packs, simple & to the point, no steps skipped. Thanks man

[@TheSpyIII]

Brilliant video!! Had no idea where to start and you have explained it all nicely - was able to replicate almost the exact sound as I went through the video. Thank you

[@IZBTV]

I wish I could have a tutorial from you on everything in life! The way you explain things with your tone of voice made this very easy to follow. It was very approachable and I was able to follow along while pausing to make sure I understood each step. This tutorial made me feel like I was actually being taught vs just shown, which I think is a lot more difficult to execute that people give it credit for. Thank YOU so much for making this video and helping me be confident in the magical Ableton world that is easy to get overwhelmed or lost in. Much love 👊

[@zephyrmagnus]

I agree!!

[@CVWE1029]

I agree too 100%.

[@Jeslayin]

I just wanted to stop by to say TY So much for this tutorial- this is exactly the tutorial I’ve been looking for endlessly, so thank you so much!!!

[@SuperWilliwill]

I'm excited about the way you've explained everything and also answering the "why" questions to your explanations.

[@ANA-soulmusic]

you are the BEST with explaining. so super helpfull, cause you say on every single step the commands!!!

[@blissweb]

Great video. I followed along faithfully and now my project looks and sounds exactly like this. Great way to learn the note positioning, clips and moving around the interface.

[@dana.1546]

Thank you for your amazingly simple explanations. I was sweating for hours in live trying to do exactly this. It was driving me nuts. But finally all my questions have been answered here. Thank you so much for sharing this video and spreading your knowledge.

[@foolround]

Thank you so much, you cleared up so many simple navigation functions. Control-shift-M enabled the function I know had to exist. Brilliant. Thanks.

[@W03ileen]

i've got no words to describe how much this video helped me. bless you

[@vadimhonda2756]

the best drums beat Ableton11 explanation ever created, thank you

[@dennycouncil2282]

Very thankful for the tutorial! ONLY from one video and i learned a lot about Live 11! Thank you sir!

[@kanedNunable]

[@AnthonyBussani]

Thanks you so much ! Really clear and made in real time which is difficult to record but make it also so easier to follow for us !

[@josephxgalloway]

[@nikkirotondo2139]

finalllllyyyyyy something that was so easy to follow, thank you

[@julioxstaticv3782]

Great help cleaning up on the basics and understandable explanations. Thank you much for your shares

[@vladasvetlakova5597]

This is ACTUALLY a beginner's tutorial, with full explanations of where you go to find the clips and not skipping any details as I find in most of these other "beginner" tutorials. That part is frustrating...thank you for not doing that.

[@andre1dias1arena]

Thanks man, it's was really fun! you're a very good teacher!

[@jackgoldfarb2186]

Great tutorial, is there a video explaining the correct steps after you get to this stage?

[@dabuhr3343]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. It feels like this is the only usable video here without a person in it who loves him-/herself so much that it hurts to watch.

[@jdubs681]

Thank you so much for my first lesson on drums. This helped me grasp the whole process a lot

[@andreasmassey883]

This was amazing dude. I am half a tab down and understanding this made my day. Big up!

[@lava2471]

This video is unbelievably helpful. Thank you so much!

[@fishwindow]

[@w33z0]

[@jarredjones5882]

[@ilham_perisii]

You're super heroooo and i'm loving your voice tone ^.^ THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@cmraiku1645]

Had to let you know that there were some helpful parts in this video especially all of the shortcut tips

[@melodicprogressivehousemph6429]

Mate, I just purchased your Premium Bundle package and you have thought me more than what I need before exploring the package. Cheers

[@ernestm8884]

MAN!! Thanks so much for this tutorial. I have gone back over it a few times using diffent samples but trying to use the process you laid out here for the drums and that midi thing for the sample so I can use 808 bass and get that key changes. I like using Ableton with my Native instrument gear Kontakt S61 and the Mascine mk3 the Mascine 2.0 is nice and they have the BEST expansions Period. Thanks again.

[@MrRogerpettersson]

Thanks alot , very well done and helped me alot!

[@tonycollins6]

Great informative video, so so helpful

[@music4diana]

AMAZING TUTORIAL!!!!!

[@ChynaBlain]

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks so much!

[@Donatello1z]

very effective tutorial Thank you!

[@UjwalKhopkar]

Thank you for making this tutorial!

[@anothamatt]

Any reason why you don't put the kick sample in a drum rack also like you do the hats / toms?

[@ALifeTheKidd]

You can but you dont have to... I would say most people Group it with the Bass & Mix the Kick & Bass together .

[@MusicDennisLopez]

Great Video ; very well explained with a lot of tips as well. We appreciate it!

[@JoshuaMartelli]

Thanks man that was super helpful.

[@yoyoboho4219]

Thankyou so much, this is truly beginner friendly I really appreciate it x3

[@MegaBlacksunday]

I'm ready to purchase this program but I'm really intimidated by this whole process!

[@SuperWilliwill]

Don't be intimidated, just follow what he does, "step by step". You'll get there.

[@julianmoss581]

Fantastic Tutorial! :)

[@ekhowb9012]

As always, everything is super. Waiting for new crack from your team

[@guapocalvo3262]

[@odins_claw]

Cheers, so useful. Great layback egoless style made this easy to watch 😀

[@SoundofGugu]

Thanks mate... 15 years of Logic and 3 months of Ableton.. i need all the help i can get'!

[@umtuga]

Great tutorial!!!

[@D3ft0ne]

I LOVE the tutorial in the arrangement view... thanks so much. Just wondering why not make the whole beat via Midi track, as in - add kick and claps in there as well?

[@x99ribs]

You're the GOAT

[@autoenglish]

Calm and clear. Thanx.

[@icebox9203]

Wow at last I could understand it in a very very simple way and could create the same. Learnt it. Thanks for the same.

[@EVERTOMRR]

Thank you so much for making these!

[@guywhoplaysbass]

how are you placing notes in that bottom section there when you did the midi clip at 8:48? when I click it merely highlights. I think I can hear you hitting a few keys when I listen closely to the sound but I still cannot get mine to look like yours

[@guywhoplaysbass]

never mind I figured it out. you're actually double clicking

[@HG-jy6tx]

great tutorial 👍

[@thompsonstreet]

Very instructive! Thanks much.

[@theend2362]

Great vid ,thanks!

[@onen0thing]

Great tutorial

[@jexmartinez9343]

Thank you so much for this video

[@boy_lando5311]

best video ever !!!

[@harrys148]

Great tutorial 👍🏼 thanks

[@coldacre]

you lost me at 9:00.... "so I'm gonna place one there... and another one there... 'nother one there". notes just magically appear. how are you placing them there?

[@i4nigtdomok349]

I'm a super noob with terrible beats but I'll try to explain this. Okay, so you see those black and white keys down at the bottom to the left and under the bottom brown line. Those are the instruments that are set up in the drum rack before he starts entering the 'notes'. In order to start entering the notes you need to highlight the section you want to enter notes, in this case, it's the top. Hit control + shift + M to change that top part into a MIDI clip so you can start entering the sounds at the bottom. So the bottom brown line represents the top brown line in the arrangement view. As you double-click on the bottom notes, they will show up top as well but you have to make sure the top has been selected or you will start accidentally entering notes for the other clips if they are MIDI clips. Hope this helps. I'm a total noob but I'm trying. I have zero musical knowledge so it will be a difficult climb for me but I'm determined.

[@DoverDanny]

Very instructional video, thank you. Can you please or someone help me understand when and why you decide to use MIDI tracks as opposed to Audio tracks to do your drums or percussion ideas. Thank you

[@Antonio_Ortiz]

Audio Tracks let you edit sounds a certain way, but adding audio to MIDI tracks puts them in a Simpler, which lets you edit audio in a different way/with different options.

[@DoverDanny]

@@Antonio_Ortiz great Thank you, I’ll give that a try

[@Mrcityhorror]

Nice tutorial thanks so much. What would you or anybody else say the perks are to starting a drum beat in arrangement view over session view? I like how i can make a drum beat live on session view but this video taught me a lot with editing individual audios and effects. I just wonder is there a more consistent work flow state way to blend the two to get advantages from both views. Maybe my question seems a bit scarce as I am just starting to get the hang of Ableton and seem to alternate between the two...

[@Fake_Name12345]

How do I place the hihats after putting them in the rack?

[@TanzBarKeiten]

t.h.x. for this Tutorial. Subscribed ! ✌

[@emmettsmallwoodjr4902]

How can I get "Impeach the President" sample beat?

[@jeohgraphy31]

Thanks Brother!

[@colegstreet]

Why can’t I drag the sample to my audio track?

[@alfredogomezluna9368]

Thanks a lot, very helpfull

[@kyawyelyintpaing9853]

You need more subs

[@Zeisslermusic]

Sounds Nice, Thanks.

[@real_hostie]

Don't ever change zoom in/out, cell division will broke synchronicity

[@Chetan_MD]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@marssmoons369]

Thank you.👍

[@harshamusunuri1924]

legend!

[@siskavard]

I'm very very new to music making in general, one thing I can't wrap my head around is when I'm trying to lay down a beat like this, the beat that's in my head never lands on the bars and I end up with a beat that sound good but doesn't line up with the bars and it throws everything off. I don't quite know how to make a beat thats in my head line up with the bars

[@GPaDLA]

Thank youuuuu

[@MannyMusick._]

thanks a lot my friend!

[@jakestechtravels4864]

Awesome stuff! Subbed!

[@blyentertainments649]

Please make a video on video scoring for short movies please....

[@guywhoplaysbass]

I highlight the clip for the Tom 909 Low.aif and the clip view bar says "no clip selected" all other programs are closed and ctrl shift M does nothing.

[@ClectaSkiMusic]

Great stuff thanks..

[@laHagans]

Fantastic!

[@real_hostie]

And what if i add 808, its long as a full uncut, so its complicated to understand where and how it should be positioned to kinda have space between 2 kicks, if i place on one another its cuts previous

[@Beebsentrance]

very good. thank you.

[@meowtrox1234]

Can you merge the separate tracks into One Single Compiled Drum track?
