I was stuck, staring at ableton for the last hour. Watched this and got inspired. Your process is very practical and freeing. Thank you for this. I'm now about 10 tracks into my scene and just sketching.
I'm right there with you Hassan. What talent & inspiration Rachel is, amazing!
Yet again, wonderfully selflessly insightful. RCK, it’s not just your beautiful songwriting and your enthusiasm for process, it’s also about how much you give back. Song writing and production is so personal, private, sacred even; yet you have allowed people to experience that place and that journey with you - not many people are gracious to the extent that they are prepared to share that level of themselves. Truly inspiring.
Thank you so much for the kind words!!! Means a lot! 🙏
@@RachelKCollierRKC #talent the definition of!!! #rachelkcollier
13 downvoters have no idea how generous it is that you give us such a deep insight into your workflow.
Thank you Rachel!
Jealousy is a very ugly emotion isn't it?
@@Tiffers963Hz - it's not necessarily jealousy - cucking looks horrible as well.
Maybe they down vote cause 1 they don't like the sound or possibly they do not like her process her choice of sounds. I didn't down vote it but could say can't say I like her process. It's fine for her. I don't use samples and throw stuff around I always use a rythmn or solo melody myself. Again different people do different things but this seems more like it's all about the computer at the centre and expensive equipment. I know a ton of musicians who use next to nothing to write their songs . Again im only showing why some people might down vote it .
That is the coolest and most inspirational songwriting video I have seen - thanks Rachel!
Aww thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
absolutely amazing how you went along producing this from scratch. Your comment of " I don´t wanna get stuck to a keyboard when starting" reminds me of myself when feeling you are stuck to black and white keys over and over again. Thank you!
Ah Thank you so much!!
Rachel, you are a gem and deserve every bit of success you strive for and have coming!
Rachel you are an angel and a treasure
Thank you!!
absolutely agree
I wish there were more videos like this on UA-cam. There are so many tutorials on specific production techniques, but it's so rare to see a video on the actual creative process of how to start writing a song/track with a unique perspective. Thanks Rachel. You are awesome.
This is one of the best song writing videos I have seen yet! Thank you for this! Be blessed!
I love this girl!! Keep the vibes alive!!!
Dear Rachel thanks for these amazing insights, it's a treasure, helping a lot! Not many artists would be so brave to show the creative process like you!
You are fantastic! Always inspiring, and an absolute wizard at music production.
Thanks for the resources rachel you really inspire us everyday. Congrats on your latest release ❤
You are incredible! I LOVE how "flowey" your creative process is.. It's super inspiring.
(All your music is amazing too! Keep doing what you do!)
Applause. I find this very inspiring and the flow of it feels very natural and genuine. Thanks for sharing.
I've been using Ableton for a few years now, but it's always great to see how light-hearted Rachel describes the process of making music. Sometimes you just have to think less and just do it. I usually start in session view too but I'm often quite tense and Rachel makes it all look so easy and relaxed. Great video!!!
You're honnestly rocking some of the best contempory pop music out there
Incredible process! You’re amazing, and super creative! ❤
This was the most refreshing and useful video I’ve seen in a while 👏👏👏
Discovered this video today and this is how I write music too! I cant work with chords I need rhythm or some sort of sample to write something! RKC you rock! Even the gibberish sounds good!!!
Really enjoyed this video. Just getting started in production and you had so many helpful tips. Always love when you sing random thoughts to demonstrate the technique. Helps me understand not to be focused on perfection, but rather, the creative process.
It can be so hard when watching the internet and comparing ourselves to others constantly - but everyone has their own music for making!! Thanks for much for watching!
As always fantastic!
we need a studio tour!!
I love your process! This was so very helpful. Thank you for sharing. Love the song! You are an inspiration.
Absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing your process.
Thanks Rachel, this is brilliant and so inspirational. You're a great teacher.
amazing video, very helpful. really appreciate the time you took and the effort you put into making this video. tyvm
This is tremendously insightful into your process. Very inspiring. Carry on being awesome.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!! 😍
I love that you admitted to picking up a drum loop when feeling lazy. Totally relatable lol.
Your explanations and demonstrations are always top notch. I appreciate that you often go right for the important bits of info relevant to what you’re doing. And love the breakdowns of setup after many of your performances. Somehow you know what a lot of us like to learn. Thank you so much for being so open and clear, plus inspiring!
Also, I love the boards on the keyboard stand 😅. I feel that. Always trying to find ways to flexibly arrange gear haha
Gosh I'm so glad I stumbled on to your vids. Really cool tunes and thanks for sharing what you know!
Fantastic how transparent you are with your process. Great stuff.

Rachel Rachel Rachel guuuurl! So inspiring. Bloody hell. Thank you so much for this video ❤🔥
By far one of the most helpful and insightful videos on songwriting in Ableton live. The fact you took us along with you on the journey is so helpful. Thanks, got loads from this 👍
Welsh aswell! I'm from Llanelli (Carmarthenshire)
👍
Thanks for sharing this insight into your songwriting workflow, Rachel! 🙏🎶
Super dope breakdown!!! I agree with being limited by using the keys to inspire... The right sample will always have that "it" factor to inspire!
Exactly!!
Very nice to see the actual workflow. Thank you!
Great video! Thanks for sharing your process.
Awesome video Rachel!!
As a record producer I have to say your videos are super inspiring!
This video makes me jump into my push and create !
Thanks Rachel!
Thanks for sharing! It really inspires me, so I can do the next step now.
OMG this was a complete epiphany moment. I never approached composition this way, but i started jamming to your clips, and it was a breath of fresh air.
💜💜💜

great song! Incredible talent! WOW!
Love the Video! Really helpful stuff!!
Love your workflow 👏👏
This is great, thank you! It's so smart freeing yourself up in that way, so you can use a different part of your brain to create and write. It's like you are knocking down walls instead of starting from within a confined cell. You can go anywhere. FAB!!!
I love your music. Thanks for sharing.
Really nice video! Good inspo . Great guiding. Keep it up and thanx for sharing
Always crystal clear, and super professional. Thank you so much.
Ah thanks!!
I remember when the first plugins came out. My god there are so many to chose from now it can be overwhelming. I write on guitar and so understanding how chords can interconnect is my way of finding melodies. I am now learning piano and so it is mainly just learning shapes as I know enough theory. Having said that there is a mountain of inspiration with DAWS and plugins to compliment or even write in a very different way. It's a never ending journey and so much fun.
Great job! AI have been wanting to watch a video about this subject for so long! Thanks for sharing your creative proces, I will borrow a few ideas for sure!!!
First time commenting on any of your videos. I felt compelled to do so because so much of what you have put out has inspired me. Truth be told I’m probably going to sign up for Splice right now, and your recommendation. Thank you for all that your content!
