I always enjoyed this tutorial but looking back at it always wanted to improve the quality of the video and add in some new knowledge - so that's what I did. If you're interested you can check out a remastered, updated version of this tutorial 1.5 years later: ua-cam.com/video/cGUdDgKdEg8/v-deo.html
Can I ask you something? How can I instal some of the sounds what I want, but I can not find something like it.
InspirAspir how can I contact you....to inquire about stuff in ableton?
Hey can u make another one of these videos where u walk threw making a song. Doesnt have to be basic but one were u walk threw everything u do. Thanks in advance
Eq goes on master out - i can t put it on the track that i want. How the F nobody knows to explain this ?
I don't know how many "beginner" videos I had to go through before I finally found this one, but it was way too many. Way way way too many. Thank you for ending my search for a STRAIGHT TO THE POINT tutorial for beginners.
Sorry for the bit of a late response but thanks for taking the time to let me know this! I am glad to help and I appreciate your support. Best of luck to you with all your music production :D
yeah he wasn't the only one...so many videos i had to watch before finding this one...good work!
I found out that there are all these urban myths about free studios and reached the conclusion those myths are silly storytelling that is not worth following.
Apparently I got super lucky because I found this video immediately after having a friend show me a quick video on the interface. I'm glad I didn't have to do the searching you did but at least we all figured it out eventually. ;)
@@InspirAspir Me tooooo! Please make another live 10, with all the latest instruments and m4live tutorials....And some kind of vocal...!
Sounds like the Market theme from the legend of zelda ocarina of time
i was about to comment the same thing
I just got done playing that shit,lmao
I was thinking Mario from Mario bros. Gets a girlfriend..
lol
Pls make this a serie

Trito ! Lmfao. Nice to see you here
seary
PLEASEEE

Thanks a lot for the incredible tutorial man! Do you have any idea why does the pitch of everything sound lower than yours even though I followed your instruction exactly? What audio preferences do you use?
It's one thing to START your first song, it's another thing entirely to FINISH it- good thing I made another tutorial video! Click the following link to learn some tips/steps on how to complete your first song, enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/KMTp4FSSLrc/v-deo.html
InspirAspir can you make/upload
Sash - Mysterious times
in Ableton ?
InspirAspir Can you make a tutorial in Ableton of how to make the song Haddaway - Whats Love!
Ang White im sorry?
Thank you for making one of the better how to use Ableton videos. It is much appreciated.
OMG Finally someone that gets to the point, while being hilarious, and actually teaches me something. Thank you so much for your videos!!!
Thank you for doing this tutorial right. I've had to "rewind" through way too many "how to" videos that still left out minor important details! You were clear, made sense & to the point.
Hey.....
ThAt'S PRetTy GoOD 👍🏻
thumbs up
Pablo DB brother..........
This helped me so much, i was extremely confused as to how to do this exact thing and now you have solved my problems! Thank, great videos by the way!
Thanks a LOT! all i need is 2 hours and i made my own song!
that means i have another reason to not leave the house
Thanks for teaching me how to make elevator music. I really needed it for my elevator.
elevators need love too
Turn down the background music in future videos mate, useful video though, thanks!
His single is going to be my ringtone. ;D
same
subbed cuz "shameless self promotion"
:)
:)
i literally cant concentrate with the music in the background
i tought i was the only one
Yea same
i keep trying to bounce my head to the bpm
Then you won't be able to play many instruments.
Or probably make songs under 2hrs.
A full, Complete, orchestrated song.
Since you seem to be incapable of multitasking on a mental level.
@@b3astpwn lmao
Skrillex would be proud.
Why the annoying music when you speak. It makes no sense.
Love how you explain the tutorial man, please make more videos, I trully want to learn about producing and some videos are way too difficult for my level
Thanks for this video InspirAspir....... It helped me alot and I'll be soon Making my own song and will be giving you the credits for teaching me..... Thanks again...... Awesome video!!!!!
thanks bro, u r an inspiration ,, need more lessons of Creating similar tracks like Dua lipa, Zedd, Indie pop on Abelton please thanks again :) cheers
Thanks for making this video,I have been interested in making songs for a while now but didn't know how but you just showed me how.
Glad to hear it! Hope it helped :D
Bro Ableton Live is suitable for beginners ?????
Wow I remember watching this 2 years ago clueless on using DAWS, and Its funny to look back and see how far I've come. I rembwr being so happy when I started to learn the most basic things from this Tutorial Lol Thanks man
I really like how when you are talking about a quick change to make you say it like you're making a song, "I think i like this better, so i think im going to change it" it added a different feel rather than the normal boring "So now you click here then here, and bring this down.. etc" Very nice tutorial!
Nicely made video man. Informative, interesting, good pacing, and you talked clearly (which i find a lot of tutorials lack). Great job:) keep up the good work
As a total beginner, I found this video very helpful - especially for introducing the arrangement view. Thank you!
Omg, thank you so much! I love your tutorials and you thought me how to use the midi extension and how to make lightshows and now how to make a song which I have always wanted to do but all the tutorials I watched used the drum rack and I could never get it so thank you for being the tutorial master!!!!,
LEGEND OF ZELDA OCARINA FTW
As many dislikes this video has is about how many views I usually get on my videos
The dislikes are coming from people who listen to urban myths, and then decide to test them...there is nothing wrong with the dislikes.
Thanks for teaching me everything! One of the best tutorials!
The first ableton tutorial that actually teaches not only how to make an ableton song, but how to actually realistically use ableton simply, easily and more efficiently to create beats, rhythms etc and of course "how to actually use ableton". Truly a beginners guide. Well done man. ✌️🙏❤️😁
I just binge watched your entire "for beginners" playlist. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE! It was exactly what I needed.
Thank you for making this video, I have seen so many but this one puts it into terms a true beginner can understand. You have a new sub and I can't wait for Dreamland EP.
you are like the best example for Ableton. Its sad that you only got like 12 views for this video but your helping a lot and I thank you for that so keep on doing these videos
Pedagogically...man...AMAZING! This is made for learners. I will repeat Matthew, going from video "x" to video "y"...and then comes the pearl, that's this one. Thanks InspirAspir. I guess CUBASE is trying to buy you out!? Seriously, thanks a lot, I made my first music from scratch in 90 minutes...emotional!
Im an fl user and im learning abelton you did a great job! Now im considering getting it because of the layout thank you!
everyone else: uses professional music apps like FL studio or Abelton.
me : uses garageband lmao.
Also, I'm not a pro and I usually make songs for fun. (really don't care whether they're finished or not)
But how I make melodies is pretty Bruh, cheating, and VERY unprofessional.
I make melodies from making random chords that sound good.
Copy and paste the chord progression, delete some notes, change it a bit, including the notes and if it sounds good, then done! melodies OMFG. XD
edit: I have no difficulties making drum patterns whatsoever, that's like the easier thing to make, ever.
Slips & Slurs - Holly - Turmoil !! Nice choice x) I've started to dance when I've hear it 🔥
Finally, a well explained Aebleton tutorial for Dumkies. Thanks a lot buddy!
Why is there an incredibly distracting audio track going on in the background? What is that? GTA or something? I'm trying to learn how to use this DAW and that track is really an extra layer of nonsense my brain does not need when I'm expending so much energy on focussing.
I take it once you write a part using internal sounds you can re assign it to external midi instruments providing you have a midi interface, or of course play them together? I have Ableton 10. Just got Presonus 1824 for audio & plan to buy Iconnectivity MIO 10 for Midi.
What is going on here? I've had a midi keyboard and ableton for a year and I've watched 20+ hours of vids about how to use it. You're the first one to say press tab and actually show us how to make the music. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! I really love your simple and fun tutorial. Good music 😄 thank you so much for inspiring me 😄
Hey fam...Just a friendly reminder that your "9" bars are actually only "8" bars. Have fun producing my friends. ✌✌
The reason for my asking, is due to crackling/distorting soft, whenever the drum/snare, or whatever is playing. TNice tutorials was the case off
Awesome video for beginners, man... But the background sound is quite annoying and i cannot concentrate on what you are trying to say. So please avoid such background music or just lower the volume a little more in your future videos... Thank you
Thanks for the kind words, I'm always happy to help! Let know if you'd like any videos on specific topics in the future. I wish you all the
I’ve been trying to loop in Ableton 9 in arrangement view as one would on a MPC when making a production. I’ve looked everywhere. I know how to loop but it’s after I record it. I have to stop than select loop. I would like it to repeat once it’s recorded. Any help?
I’ve only just started using ableton live 9 lite. I’ve started a channel of the music I’ve been making. Feel free to check it out and if anyone has any tips or hints, or if i can help in any way, feel free to ask. Not anywhere near a pro, just an amateur, but more than happy to help others or take suggestions from those who know more. Thank you!
With that chord progression and not much work, you've got Maroon 5 - Girls Like You ( ua-cam.com/video/aJOTlE1K90k/v-deo.html )
Thank you for making this! I just successfully made my first (super basic) song using your tutorial and now have the confidence to continue messing around and experimenting :)
Hey thanks! Happy to hear it, appreciate you taking the time to let me know this. Best of luck with your music production future! :D
How do I get the piano roll to show up at the bottom of my screen. It's not there. Every time I double click there is nothing there. Nothing showed up in my bottom bar when I drug the "Grand Piano" into the box up top. Help :)
Hi, I'm using an interface to record a 4 instrument album (vocals, bass, guitar, drum machine) and I've got the basics of Abelton down, since I've been using tutorials like this one and I took a course on DIY home recording. The only real trouble I've had is with audio input levels. I know roughly how loud I want my instruments to be, but the levels are only displayed on Abelton, not the interface. When I test the volume of my instrument (ex guitar) with playback (ex drums), I get the volume I need, but enabling recording (so I can hear my guitar) turns the levels display gray, and after recording I either get distortion or can't hear my instrument during playback. Could you please offer some tips/instructions or refer me to someone who can? Regards, Hazel Jane
Make a video only about mixing and mastering with default plugin or free audio effect plugin in Ableton Live
Does anyone know how desperate I am, as a 14-year-old who wants to pay for a music studio app, makes my wallpaper a blank Abelton file LMAO?
Hi! your video was REALLY helpful and i managed to create a "song". The problem is that all of a sudden when i pressed the play button no sound came at all. I tried to disinstall the programm and install it once again but still no sound! can you help me?
I'm having great problems recording my acoustic guitar over a mic. I can't match up the audio track with a loop or midi track where I click the beats in. Do you know how to resolve this? I record on tempo while I'm playing but it is captured with latency so the entire audio track is off beat. Isn't there a way to just adjust my entire audio track a few ms after recording it?
hey InspirAspir i love all your video's and you inspired me to buy a launchpad thanks for that keep up the good work (p.s. sorry i am from belgium and my englisch isn't that good )
Heyy! I'm new to ableton and I just finished an easy remix.. but I don't know how to save it as one song/ one sample. So I can send it or don't have to listen to it on ableton. Hope my problem is clear enough, pls someone help😅😅
Thanks for trying to make a tutorial, but you skip a lot of the selection tools and how to make things the way you are showing us. For example, when I add the 2nd midi clip I cannot get it to equal the same number of bars as the first midi clip. I see you do it in your video, but you do not explain how to accomplish it.
Dude. Use Instrument Racks instead of duplicating a layer with a different instrument. Trust me, you’ll love it. :)
New to Ableton, it is very complicated because when you hover over a button it does not tell you what it does making me have to navigate every inch of the screen to do one simple thing killing my vibe. But its alot of great sounds for a budget price.. Thanx for your help
It's ok tutorial but you got 500k views which is funny as hell only 6k likes, please man, there is not even that many people in the world interested in making music hahahah. DO NOT BUY THE VIEWS
When I drag a .adg file onto a MIDI track the title goes into the header of the track and then when I click on a round button of the track the title of the clip shows in the track and the arrow turns red, the clock runs but there is no sound. I can hear the preview so I know the Audio Out is set up. I'm doing ok with the .alc and .aif files in audio tracks. Why don't the .adg files play?
If I may suggest one thing when working with beginners you have to show the extremes "EG" on off so us people that aren't Keen to over dubing can hear the difference u know its slow but necessary much love for your time
I'm really interested in making beats but I bought shoes afew days ago for like $300 and I don't now if I can buy a Launchpad to start making beats
Hey IA, I really like your lesson, and the way all related are mentioned in the same moment. Cool brain, I'll fly through this at same rate. Nice one !
Hey, I have a question!
I want to buy a launchpad mk2, but I don't really understand abelton, so the question is, that can I connect launchpad mk2 to Android? Please help me!
hey Inspir, it looks like there arent many comments coming into this video anymore, so i hope you see this and can help. I am doing exactly what you are at about 5 minutes into the video, inserting a midi track and then using the piano roll, but when i go to play it, the notes that are up top in the midi track are gray, and no sound comes out, do you have a fix?
Can you make a video of something like this but incorporating the launchpad/launchpad mini with how to make a song in ableton with the launchpad?
Look up how to make templates, once you have a template customized for you, you can get to making soft quickly
God let the Tutorial Master speak
Yes!! He's so good right?
thank you so much
Hey can u make another one of these videos where u walk threw making a song. Doesnt have to be basic but one were u walk threw everything u do. Thanks in advance
You should be the sound track designer for playschool
It sounds like those cheap little Casio keyboards from the 80s.
Man this is so confusing as a pro at fl studio. I dont know amything in ableton. I feel so reseted :c
What package did you buy? Standard or Suite? :D and thanks!! This is soo helpful!!
I just got back in to recording and this video helped me out so very much. Thank you!
Are you on speed?
When I fill in steps of GMS the in channel rack instead of giving a soft like 'brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr' instead of 'br br br br'
Hey man I like the video, just wandering why do you write your drums in audio vs midi, what is the advantage there, or is there one at all?
how do you now transfer the samples in drum rack to the launchpad? I can't play it in the launchpad..
Helpful video👌 easy to understand considering you keep it simple and go straight to the point! :D
Can you make a video for how to make a final song which made by popular singers etc. to stems?
PLEASE HELP ME
my piano roll keys are too big what to do !!!
is that normal ??
what would be a similar software with minimum features that allows me to type in music instead of playing on instruments? I use PC.

It took way too many "beginner" videos before I found this. Thank you!!
Oh and I see your pinned comment. Excellent!! I'll check it.
Thank you for the tutorial this was very insightful and helpful
Why does your interface look so small and roomy? while mines looks bulky and chunky
your just teaching how to draw in notes. how do you record of your launchkey into that format?
i dont have the little headphones thing for when im placing notes
i have to keep presssing to play the notes
the big piano thing in the beginning doesn't even pop up when I drag the clip, did I do something wrong?
