🤔Do you have a question? Leave it as a new comment so that I can share the answer with everyone!🔥
Don't you think that people should actually read the manual provided by the software manufacturers? That would save them a lottt of time...
When are we going to get some original music or song from you? ;)
You'll get a lot from the manual, but I find that trying things and making mistakes and learning from them, is the biggest reward. Doing is better than reading. I think. My humble opinion. That's why this video is more about doing, not just technical learning.
Its coming very soon. I just finished my latest original song for release EVERYWHERE!
hello love your videos so much this video is really helpful I'm Fl studio user but always watching your vlogs just wanna ask you about presounes Eris 3.5r what monitors for mixing that you advice me to buy budget 100$ thanks again sir
This tutorial made me completely lose fear of Ableton. Simple, straight to the point and you can start making music right away. THIS is what a teacher is, make students create confidence in themselves. Bless you Sanjay
You're so kind. Thank yoU!
Yes that’s what I said above in my comment to him that I had “fear of Ableton”
well put! and strongly agree!!! Great tutorial.
You took the words out of my mouth. I've been thinking about buying a midi keyboard recently, just watched this vid and it has alleviated all my fears. Thank you Sanjay!
Hands down the best 15 minutes you'll ever spend. I went through a 2-hour Udemy course and got confused. I highly recommend everyone starting out with Ableton live to go through this video first. Thanx man.
Thank you so much.
It is funny that I have watched maybe two dozen long tutorials on Ableton Live and only now I finally understand the relation between the session view and the arrangement view. You are very good at explaining things, so thank you.
Happy to help!
true haha
I agree!! Perfect 🤩
Hear hear!
Easily the best tutorial on Ableton I have watched. No one else was able to so concisely explain the different views and options available. As a complete beginner, this was a godsend.
Wow, thanks!
I agree
I love how timeless your video is. Its a few years old and its still helping people. Thats how you know you did really well
Bro...you have no clue how much I look up to you..you have no idea how crazy this is....this morning I wanted to know how to do this...thanks bro AGAIN 💯💯💯
Officially the best comment of the day! 🎉 I'm humbled that you look up to me. Seriously. Thank you for making me feel special about my work.
@@SanjayC anyday for you bro.....it's really inspiring how you take your time and put so much effort into helping us... thanks ❣️💯
Having worked in music production, synths and sound engineering all my life, it’s amazing how going back to a simple, basic, yet beautifully done video like yours can be so inspiring. At any stage in our career we can face productivity locks, and your videos are medicine for that!
I'm an old newbie in the beat game. Vids like this are EXTREMELY helpful. Very much appreciated 🙏🏻
Sanjay, this is why you're the best, I've watched Ableton Videos for over a year, but never, I mean never have I ever seen anyone demo it like you have! My hat is always off to you sir, and I gotta tell you that no matter what your video is about, I'm gonna watch and learn! Thanks again brother for all you do!!
What's up, Mr. Hurvey! You are too kind! But thank you. I'm glad you found this useful. And I'm looking forward to your likes and comments in my future videos! Haha!!
Oh my, this is gold. I got the feeling you gonna go viral with this. Super well explained Sanjay, thanks a lot!
super helpful, filled in the gaps of stuff I was getting frustrated trying to figure out on my own and has saved me a lot of grief. thank you!
literally the best video for beginners; you do not make any assumptions about the beginner's knowledge. well done
I started the day wondering how I'm ever gonna get the hang of this. Thanks to you, my way forward is illuminated. great friendly style, great content! thank you so much.
Thank you, Gordon! I'm so happy to hear I could help you out!
Wow,I am beginning to get some confidence that I could actually learn this.Great presentation,very clear and precise.My favorite video on this so far due to it`s clarity and simplicity.Great job.
Finally, a tutorial that’s simple and direct. I was getting so tired of seeing “beginner” videos that try to teach you all of Ableton in 30 minutes and which are understandable only by people with extensive experience. This one gives you the confidence of having learned just a handful of basics upon which you can build. This is the way every beginner tutorial should be constructed. I look forward eagerly to follow-up lessons having the same type of narration and limited subject matter.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback. i'm so happy it was helpful
See this is sadly funny there’s so many people out there that are teachers but I’ve heard one thing in teaching all the years I have is that just because you’re a teacher it doesn’t Mean that you teach well, in other words being able to get across to anybody or almost everybody all the time that is the absolute art and Sanjay, you’ve got it down my brother. This is why his videos are so good because “he knows how to teach“ it’s not just experience how many years you’ve done it but it’s how you do it how you approach how you listen to your students comments. How do you decide what goes online. Thank you so much again
I’ve just started using Ableton and have to say you have the best channel to get started. Very clear and concise, thanks so much
Hell yeah! This is the best startup tutorial for Ableton Live!
This is by far the best 15 minute video on learning how to use Ableton!!! I am new to music production, lots of UA-camrs overkilled on instructions. This is a perfect instructional video.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Your channel is the best I’ve ever come across in explaining ableton . It sounds so complicated when everyone else explains it. And you’ve taken that fear away ! ❤
I know this one is a few years old, but it was perfect for my first steps in Ableton, and really broke through the primary difference to other DAWs as the session/arrangement interaction has never been so well and so clearly explained and demonstrated. Thanks Sanjay!
The next day I BOUGHT ABLETON LIVE
Haha! Make sure you tell them Sanjay C sent you!
Actually buys it, wow
Being Tamilan Music but what version was the one you bought is the question.
I N S P I R A T I O N
Being Tamilan Music so ur a composerily friend
The BEST teacher on YT!
One of the best videos to check out. This guy answered all my questions in 15 minutes! Thanks so much
The best tutorial ever in UA-cam on Abelton live so far. Loved it and very useful as well !!! Thank you so much !!!!😍😍❤❤❤❤💕💕
You simply explained this perfectly! Now I can use Ableton!! Thanks so much for making a video that is easy to understand, everyone else gets into too much technical detail and isn't as friendly to the audience. I really appreciate the time and effort you spent to make this video to inform and educate new musicians about the ease of Ableton. Very good indeed.
this tutorial just got straight into the nitty gritty in a simple but concise manner that was easy to understand and extremely inspiring. I think it was cool to set the bpm at 80 because it just slowed the flow and made it all so cool and easy on the learning curve. hearing the vibes, mixing, arranging and exporting so early was fantastic. heck, at the end point some other tutorials around the web are still waffling on about their style of teaching and the interface so all kudos Sanjay, this was extremely easy to follow for my "cluttered mind" all due to your slick presentation. thank you, have a fabulous day 😎
I appreciate the kind words.
This is such a well thought and prepared video, a genuine delight to watch!
Thank you so much for making these tutorials, these are the exact videos that I have needed to understand Ableton and be able to put my heart into making the music I love so much.
I'm getting into music and wanted to go the route of having my own daw to make my own beats and record myself from home. And this is by far the best tutorial for Ableton that I've found. Thank you!
So happy to hear that! Thank you!
Hey Sanjay, great video, very informative. I'm a new subscriber and I've just bought ableton live standard edition. This video was just what i was searching for to get started. Thanks.
This was by far the best tutorial I've seen on introduction to Ableton Live! Thanks Sanjay!!!
Making the switch from FL to Ableton 11 and this has helped so much, great tutorial!
Sanjay, you should have been my music teacher back in my grade and high school days! You're really warm and informative and I'm thinking of upgrading to Standard after watching this!
That's an awesome compliment. Thanks so much!
Man, you made things so much more clear than anyone. You inspired me to start doing it again. The fact you don’t skip details is why, most ppl get hung up because the teacher expects them to know the little things.
I really appreciate that, Jbird!
Sanjay C is there official courses people can take for Ableton or do we have to stick with UA-cam random videos? As far as UA-cam your are certainly the best.
All clear. Thank you. Thanks to this guide, you can take your first steps in music
OMG this is one of the best tutorials by far for beginners. I almost gave up until I ran into your vid, straight to the point in plain english with no overwhelming tech jargon. You have a new subscriber, thank you!
Dear Sanjay
The first time I had seen a daw was back in 2007. Since that time I always wanted to get in making music at home by myself. There was not such thing as UA-cam at that time. I tried by myself but failed even making a single sound with Ableton and decided making music is not for me. I quit trying. I have been watching your videos since couple of months now and today I received my midi controller, earphone and live. I made my first track. It's been 13 years now man and finally I can create something that I like. Thanks so much for being such generous by giving people what you know and help them to learn something. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate. I was not aware it was that much simple. Thank you
Onur, I’m so happy you shared your story with me. You made my day! Making music is much easier these days, yes! And I’m happy I could help you get started. I hope you watch my latest video with more Ableton tricks. You can do some very creative things that you won’t believe until you try it. Good luck my friend!
this is one of the vids that inspired me to start producing music. Thanks soo much
Love hearing that 😊
Just got Ableton live and found your channel. You are a natural teacher my friend. So clear and concise. You will be my go to channel. Subscribed.
You keep things so clear and concise. Thank you!!
I just downloaded it and can't believe, that this brilliant tutorial is the first thing I watched. Thank you so much for making this. I'm so hyped to make music now!
You're very welcome!
THANK YOU! This is the best tutorial on Ableton out there!
You're too kind!
This was incredibly helpful!! I’m taking classes at Berklee and needed a different perspective. Thank you for this! Had me singing your melody at the end there haha !
You are one of the best tutor on this platform.
It's easy to understand everything with you.
😎Thank you !!
I can't make up how scared I was to start learning how to produce music. Everything seemed so complicated and way over my head and some part of me felt like I could never learn how. This one video changed all that Sanjay and I can't thank you enough. I don't know where I'll be in the future but I know I have the confidence to at least try. Looking forward to watching more of your stuff!
I have been so confused by session view and have found Ableton challenging. But, after your clear explanation and demonstration, I finally understand how it works more. THANK YOU!
So happy to hear that 🙏🏼
Same for me i just got my first launchpad
DUDE. This tutorial was such a big help. Thank you.
By far the best ‘intro to Ableton’ tutorial. Thank you Sanjay C.
So happy to hear that!
this was SO HELPFUL dude. You've just got a new sub!
Awesome! Thanks so much!
I have decided to rechristen you Sunjoy! Excellent clarity in your tuition, and great joy in learning Ableton, thanks so much!
My journey as an Ableton producer officially starts today. Thank you so much for the clear and concise introduction. Keep up the good work!
Couldn't be any clearer! You are a Great teacher with a real intent to help! 🤩
Thanks, Harihar! Thank you for seeing that.
Love this video! Puts me at ease. I was so overwhelmed by Abelton but you helped me a lot. Going to arrange my first track this week 🤙
Nice!! I love to hear that!
thanks so much man, i'm in production class in music school and your video just gave me so much confidence for my assessment!
Very well explained.. Confidence is built
Simply great! You make the BEST tutorials. You don't clutter the video with a whole bunch of logos/themes/intros, etc. The information is valuable and immediately applicable. Thank you Sanjay! Oh yes, one OTHER big thing. You don't CURSE. So many videos have these guys demonstrating something really cool and they curse throughout the whole thing! Thanks for NOT doing that, man.
🙏Thanks to my mom! And thank you for the nice compliment. I'm so happy to hear you found it useful. I should do more Ableton tutorials!
yes, good points...and he's got a good clean audio track...why do some people that work in music can't record a clean audio track?
Thank you so much for the beginner's tutorial 😊.
Thanks. How long have you been using Ableton?
@@SanjayC I was using it when I started producing but then after I switched to FL studio because it is kind of beginner friendly...😅
wow man... just got started with my ableton ...with your simple tutorial you opened up a world!!! thank you for your great videos!
I too agree, just got Scarlett 2i2 3rd with Ableton and have watched hours of tutorials and yours is by far the best. I am subscribing and will be using your instructions. Thanks
Awesome, thank you!
This is literally the FIRST video, that really helped me getting into Ableton. I had already understood everything related with the hardware and this stuff but never knew how to begin with my first "song" 😅 so thanks alot!!
You're very welcome!
Thanks a lot Sanjay ! You are excellent teacher and the music knowledge is excellent 👏👌👍❤️
Thank you!
I am just starting to make some music. And this is just what I needed to get started, and not get too afraid of Ableton with all the settings etc. Thank you for a great channel!
Thank you Sanjay ! That was really helpful. Most tutorials are so much so fast and really not beginner friendly. You made me feel like I can do this !
Great video.
2 things: Quantize Settings: Ctrl + Shift + U (Command for Mac) Quantize: Ctrl + U
Straight forward video. Thank you
YES! That's exactly what I was aiming for. Are you a new Ableton user?
@@SanjayC yes I just bought the novation launchpad pro to go along with it. Love Abelton so far.
I've watched several other videos for beginners and ableton live. Yours is the most simplest. Thanks so much. Great video
Glad it was helpful!
I love how you open your video, Sanjay, with a simple welcome: “Hi.” I dislike openings such as “What’s up everybody?” or (worse) “Hey there!”. I’ll often shutdown the video and search for another. Sanjay, you are a terrific educator with a lovely manner. Great video - like all your others. Thank you…
Holy Jesus Christ that’s like a almost perfect beginner tutorial! I’m so glad that I discovered this channel before buying ableton. Btw I wonder if the version of ableton will matter in what you do in this video? Thanks!
Yes, it does. You can do most things with Ableton Lite, but I suggest the Standard version.
This is awesome!!! I was avoiding this beast called Ableton Live, but you made it look so simple! I immediately want to create some music!!!
That’s why I love your channel! You make things seem fun! Keep it up man 👍🏻
Thank you Mike van Amstel! So glad you're trying out Ableton!
definitely the best session tutorial i have seen thanks
Probably one of the most helpful and well produced how to videos I have seen...thanks for much for this!
The keyboard as my MIDI piano isn't working. When I press keys, the drum just disappears!
I’m Having the same issue

Best. Beginner. Tutorial. Ever. Thank you Sanjay!
This is the best tutorial out there. Great visuals and explanations. Thank you.
One of the best if not the best tutorials on what Ableton is about. Thanks Sanjay.
I appreciate that
I just want to say that Sanjay you are amazing. You have helped me so much and I checked out your video as soon as I bought my Novation Launchkey Mini. I'm still deciding on a microphone after watching your videos on microphones. The information you share is invaluable and I can't thank you enough!
Wow, this tutorial is incredible! All of my overwhelm and confusion has been dissolved and I feel much more confident about using Ableton. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Just a really clear, calm and easily followed walk through. Thank you very much.
The best tutorial i've even watched! OMG. Thank you
love it how simple you explained, now i am ready to kick in
This video is 3 years old and yet it helped me, decided to sit and follow your tutorial and it just so clean, easy to follow, totally love it, was going wild since didn’t know how to make a track but thanks to you now I know and it isn’t hard😅
Your tutorials are awesome, thank you very much!
Sanjay is the best!! Easy explaining, clear voice and great tips..
Like the tutorials Ableton/Maschine..for me a great help
Thank you so much for all these tutorials bro. So much valuable knowledge
Thank you so much for sharing your skills in such an elegant and loving way, I just loved your video.
There's a lot on the other, (longer) tutorials I've watched that gets glossed over or they get hung up on the more complicated settings and workflows. This amazing video finally got me going. How to record and loop tracks, fix your early mistakes, and how the hell do you get your song from the session view to arrangement?! You are a gifted teacher, thank you.
Such a great tutorial, I finally can start to make some progress in Ableton, this is exactly what I needed, thank you so much!!
TNice tutorials is really well done Mike, thanks for putting the ti and energy into tNice tutorials.
Fantastic tutorial mate. Thank you!
Such a great tutorial!! Easy to learn and follow
This video was great. Love the arrows pointing. Very well explained.
At last, someone who can teach Ableton liven10 clearly and with the correct content. been struggling for a week..
Thanks Sanjay your a natural teacher..
Great video tutorial Sanjay ! Thanks
Very easy to follow and understand. Excellent tutorial
