Follow along and learn how to make your FIRST song in Ableton Live 10! In this video we will start from scratch & use no external plugins to produce our very first ever song. This is a remastered video of a tutorial I made a few years back, this time with higher video quality and newfound music production knowledge that I'm excited to share!
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
@@InspirAspir OMG, I would love to. Dude you're my inspiration, u inspired me to create music and i made a lot of projects thanks to you. I've seen a lot of videos but your videos were the best it's simple, short and helpful. ❤️
May I ask how you're releasing your music? I want to but I'm not sure how to. I've heard of Distrokid and Tunecore but some say good and bad things about it. Are you signed to a label?
I'm only 8 minutes in But my god this is such a great introductory tutorial. I'm switching over from FL Studio and I am just so grateful for your video. It is a major help.
@@StraightOuttaBerkshire I swear by Ableton. It's the only DAW I've used that is multipurpose enough to be the only DAW I need (mind you the only other software I've tried is FL Studio and Adobe Audition as a pair). Not to mention, Ableton is natively more compatible with my midi than FL was (I didn't need to install any extra drivers and it uses my wobble knob properly, where as FL Studio didn't. Couldn't live without Ableton.
Thanks for this dude. I got Ableton ages ago and just had a go at it blindly, and just got overwhelmed and demotivated at all the different options, even at the beginning of the vid, where you press tab to change the layout made the software a lot easier to view. But I've had another crack at it using this guide and I'm leaps and bounds further than I was in half the time. Thanks brah.
I don't think it's a stretch to say this is the best beginner functions tutorial for Ableton on youtube. Thank you. I was using studio one and switched to Ableton to pick up the new skill set... And this was a perfect starting point. Now if I can just figure out how to rewire and use cross-platform functions I'll be stoked with Ableton. You helped turn a nearly 1000 dollar program into a functioning tool instead of a bad investment. I'll kick you some donations for that asap.
How can somebody so young have so much knowledge? I have spent over 20 years learning all this! Not only that but he’s a good teacher as well. A ton of information in just 30 minutes, explained in an articulate, concise and thorough way. Then there is his knowledge of light shows and making brilliant videos!, Genius!,
Learning music has got to be the skill with the single biggest learning curve out there, legitimately every single thing is insanely difficult. Even something like drawing, which is also notoriously difficult to learn isn't as bad as music is for a beginner.
Best tutorial I've seen. You cover many necessary tools and how to apply them, practicaly, all in less than 30 minutes. I congratulate and thank you. 👍
Bro. Thank you!! i FINALLY found a good teacher on youtube. u dont understand how frustrating it is trying to learn/pick a new DAW and at the same time creating in it all while trying to find a good youtuber to teach you! Your video was efficiently laid out, straight to the point, and not too much blabbing. Good work man, you're a good teacher.
I CANT BELIEVE IT ?!!! THIS IS THE FIRST TUTORIAL I UNDERSTAND OH MY GOD THANK YOU i was struggeling with it for so long that i gave up and now i stumble across your video and omg thank you
I've had Ableton live 9 for like 4 years and always just messed around with it, picking up bits and parts. This video helped structure all the parts I already knew and taught me some really helpful new stuff too (using the compressor and equaliser - I was just using the auto filter for filtering frequencies until now. Many thanks!
i like when stuff appears from out of nowhere and is not mentioned at all. 8:51 Bassline is miraculously double length 9:10 Bassline gets cloned via secret keyboard shortcut 13:10 " i like this sample (plays a different sample) 12:49 A midi clip with the perfect length appears via secret key combination 19:50 You may not be aware but music theory covers rhythm too, they are not separate things.................. i learned a few things about ableton tho
I really can’t thank you enough for this tutorial!! I’ve been trying to produce music for a while now but I always give up after a while. This is the first tutorial I could follow all the way through 😍
Remember these words little one .... once you leave school, if you work hard enough, you can have anything you want in this world, this is YOUR reality & you can achieve all your dreams ....BELIEVE IN YOURSELF & DO NOT EVER GIVE UP ✌❤
Why? Im scared a bit scared because my favorite artist (shinigami) uses FL. IK it's all the same if ur lookinh to make it. But RN is my starting moment because I just compleatly internalized that there's no other way than making it on my own. Fuck supermarkets
I'm getting a Minilab and Ableton comes with it. FL has been a good friend but I'm mostly excited to play around with fresh sounds, this tutorial was surprisingly easy to comprehend and it has me hyped up to dive into it
You r just aweso....i was litterly noob in tNice tutorials...u explained it very simply...thanks i will surely go for next parts of tNice tutorials video.. thanks
my favorite part of your amazing vids is you show what it sounds like after you do it. A lot of content guys out there don't do that probably because the time it takes. They will show something cool you didn't know about and than not play it lol you explain things well, go through it and give details on each technique, fantastic stuff my man.
I followed this and actually managed to make something haha! Thank you! I was so overwhelmed by all the features and things I didn’t know how to do, and so I really appreciate this
Thank you so MUCH!!! I am so grateful that you shared your knowledge with us and did it in such an easily understood way. Ableton seemed to me as a dark tangled jungle that I was afraind to step in. But now it's so clear and I'm not afraid of it anymore ) And all thanks to you. You are a genius!!!
Super useful, the only bit I didn't find out was how to actually save it as a file but as you say, the export is probably another video in itself - thanks for sharing, found lots of useful info in this !
I just moved to Ableton after 2 years with fl studio, and this really helped, like you wouldn't believe how much this helped, i pretty much learned everything from this tutorial
Hey man, love your work. Would you ever be able to make a video that focussed purely on the production side of things/ how to use the majority of effects properly?
This is the best learning video I have ever used, seriously! Concise, to the point, easy to follow, and great information to follow along and actually learn by doing! Thank you!
LOL I’m 13 and I’ve already made my first song. It’s really hard at the beginning but after you get the basics and you start actually making music it’s really fun
Got lost at 11:38 when you changed up the song. I tried to do the same and messed it all up Not that my notes looked the same anyway. Would advise not using shortcuts without saying what you're doing.
just started learning Ableton. I spend 6 years on fl but DAMNNNNNN. Even tho its hard to do certain stuff on fl that could've take me 1 click to do its still enjoyable and I feel more like a "producer".
I just want to say thank you! This video alone is the best at explaining jammed packed stuff in the simplicity that you do. you've saved me perhaps months to years on the small details of the layout of the project. Will sub. Keep making awesome content!
I've used FL Studio for 7 years and I must say Ableton has an awesome setup. A bit confusing at first but I'm sure I can get used to it very quickly having used FL for 7 years! Wish me luck!!
Your video is so amazing i learned a lot of techniques in this video but Can i ask how to record midi controler's sound into ableton live 10? maybe you know....
I miss more videos like this one. came back to it again today, because it is actually beginner friendly and not just to rush through and show your talent.. I saw you stopped youtube? Would be so happy to see more of your tutorials!!
Thanks man. I do like your clear, descriptive videos - helps me (as a relative novice) cut through the techie talk on the Ableton manuals. Learnt a lot of useful stuff, that previously was confusing me. Nice one
Watched both videos, the old one and this updated version, and of all the tutorials I've seen to explain creating in Ableton, this is the best. Thank you!
Hey, InspirAspir. Question: I've just started using Lite 10. Around 4:08 you changed the chord patterns. How did you adjust that, specifically to fifths? Are you just drawing it in to fit? I'm assuming there is a much faster way. I'm having trouble finding it in Ableton's materials. I'd greatly appreciate the help!
okay so if you turn on draw mode and put it into 4 bars (by write clicking and changing it) you can indisually put in notes like he did in the video. It seems he copy and pasted but idk how to do that
Guys guys calm down, first he obviously changed the size of the note (using the grid which you can see and mess around with pressing right click), selected it and pressed ctrl + D which duplicated said note; and he just did that several times.
I am just starting to get into making music. I have been taking some Udemy courses on music theory in my free time over the past few months and have learned a TON. However, none of those classes go over how to make a song (which wasn't the intent of those classes of course, not bashing them at all.... they were awesome classes.). I just wanted to say that you just gave people a crash course worth a lot of credit (or money if you want to think of it that way). You gave people the creative process... that is AWESOME; and you were great at doing it. This is probably the area people struggle in a lot first starting out like myself: "okay well i know how to make cool sounding melodies... but what bpm? what is a lead? what are layers? how do I use audio effects? how do I make it sound like a song instead of just the same melodic loop? bass then drums then melody? what is the best order to make all of the components?" these are just some of the question I asked myself that you have answered. Of course it is an ART and the creative process is up to the individual, but giving someone a foundation that they can then branch from, is so important. ALL IN ALL..... I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!
Ableton completely changed how I create music. I love being able to use Novation controllers with it. Session view is genius for laying down scenes and ideas.
I feel like I know even less than I did before. This is a very informative video, but it shows just how much you need to know to do even this "basic" stuff lol.
Thank's! this video helped me a ton! my dad tried to teach me a bit but I didn't learn too much because while he is a very talented DJ and musical artist he's not that great at teaching, Thanks!
You said something about beginners then first song and then lost me when you started talking about fifth in a bar know idea what or how you did that splitting the bar into five got me stuck I was enjoying it up until then you didn’t explain how got there
I am loving your tutorials. I have watched many videos whilst in lockdown trying to learn a new hobby.Your explanations to how to use Ableton is the easiest to understand( and sticking with stock plug ins) ✌️Its the way you explain how to do every single operation step by step without missing a thing on how to get to where you got too ( if you get my gist) please keep up the great work 🙏 Thank you
Thank you very much for making this tutorial very simple to understand for a beginner user, a lot of videos that i've seen forget to tell what shortcuts they are using and what settings they are changing in the effects like the E.Q.
@@Rudrakshiva Like whyyy?? Because if you are concentrating on what someone is saying to learn from them, and there is music competing with their voice for your attention, it makes it doubly hard to take in the information. The music has nothing to do with the message you are trying to get across and so is superfluous.
This program followed along with my mic that I bought way back. I've never used it, so I had no idea how to start, but knowing the basics of it, it looks like something I'll definitely spend some time playing around with. Thanks for the comprehensive video :)
I'm working on a new song now actually and thank you for your tutorial, I switched from FL Studio to this one, I feel this software has so much to offer as well.

@@Spizite duuuuuude the wobble mod is HUGE for me. I am in the same transition, although I am a beginner, only like 1.5 weeks have i had my midi

The way explain things is perfect, not too fast, not too slow, just right. You also speak very clearly.

hell yeah dude its great to see you hear you where my childhood
No u
woah I'm so happy to see your account like everyone else you were my idol as a kid man

i like when stuff appears from out of nowhere and is not mentioned at all.
8:51 Bassline is miraculously double length
9:10 Bassline gets cloned via secret keyboard shortcut
13:10 " i like this sample (plays a different sample)
12:49 A midi clip with the perfect length appears via secret key combination
19:50 You may not be aware but music theory covers rhythm too, they are not separate things..................
i learned a few things about ableton tho
“via secret keyboard shortcut” copy and paste?💀
his teaching style is awesome
You are a genius my friend, excellent delivery. Well organized and clear to understand. Please make more !
Learned more from one of your vids than I have with several hour long tutorials, thanks, subscribed.
I really can’t thank you enough for this tutorial!! I’ve been trying to produce music for a while now but I always give up after a while. This is the first tutorial I could follow all the way through 😍
You made me learn Ableton from scratch just with this vid. WOW
Been working with Cubase since the late 90s but ive been wanting to switch to Ableton for a long time. This video was extremely helpful! Thank you
Im 11 and im rlly happy to be learning to make music, even if i cant afford to buy the proper setup.

@@bunzl72 what a nice comment :)
Same im 13 but i do play instruments like drums and piano but the only thing i use for ableton is a launchpad mini mk3

You explain everything so clearly and perfect lol thank you 🙏🏼
I could listen to Nice tutorialm talk for hours man what a passionate dude ❤️
Friendship ended with Fl Studio, *Now* ABLETON is my bestfriend.
Why? Im scared a bit scared because my favorite artist (shinigami) uses FL. IK it's all the same if ur lookinh to make it. But RN is my starting moment because I just compleatly internalized that there's no other way than making it on my own. Fuck supermarkets
@@MCGeddelti Ableton just _feels_ better to use...in my opinion of course
@@MCGeddelti it’s also really streamline for first time users I had no problem picking up after a couple weeks of straight fucking around with it.

This is so much simpler and to-the-point than every other Ableton newbie tutorial I have seen. Thanks!
This is so dope! I’ve had ableton for a while now and been hesitant to use it. Thanks for the inspiration bruh!
Super useful, the only bit I didn't find out was how to actually save it as a file but as you say, the export is probably another video in itself - thanks for sharing, found lots of useful info in this !
Very Impressive!! A big thank you from a nervous beginner. Your information is very helpful.
5 seconds before you said thats a bit boring I was like dude thats sick
Thank you for this tutorial
everytime I’m in a slump and don’t know where to go with a new track, I always come back to this video
2:17 actually 16 bars long lol XD
actually an amazing video nice work :D
nigga what
You,ve ran through Ableton for me to be able to understand all its different aspects of making music.best intro video .Appreciate it man
IT WORKED, THANKS I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER, BUT NO TUTORIAL COULD EXPLAIN IT AS YOU DID
When you just finished 6 cups of coffee
I just moved to Ableton after 2 years with fl studio, and this really helped, like you wouldn't believe how much this helped, i pretty much learned everything from this tutorial

Dude i don't know why but learn things easily and quicker from you...thnx bud...keep up the good work👏
The best video I’ve seen. On UA-cam for ableton for beginners I am a pro tools user but now ready to try another DAW. Thx
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!!!
my music class used ableton and i’m not the best at using it so this is a great help
this is probably the best how to vid for ableton. Ive watched them all nearly lol Explained crucial things that i had no idea about
I am just starting to get into making music. I have been taking some Udemy courses on music theory in my free time over the past few months and have learned a TON. However, none of those classes go over how to make a song (which wasn't the intent of those classes of course, not bashing them at all.... they were awesome classes.).

This is what Marshmello uses
Yeah. Lots of other producers use Abelton. Illenium, Andrew Huang, Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, etc.

Thank's! this video helped me a ton! my dad tried to teach me a bit but I didn't learn too much because while he is a very talented DJ and musical artist he's not that great at teaching, Thanks!
How did you change note length from 1/4 to 1/5?
Zoom in and alter the length of the note
I like how you kept in 4:26 to really show how experimentation plays a role in creating music.
You said something about beginners then first song and then lost me when you started talking about fifth in a bar know idea what or how you did that splitting the bar into five got me stuck I was enjoying it up until then you didn’t explain how got there
same, as soon as he split them all into fifths so quickly i was lost.
Lol

Thank you very much for making this tutorial very simple to understand for a beginner user, a lot of videos that i've seen forget to tell what shortcuts they are using and what settings they are changing in the effects like the E.Q.
I am from India, ur tutorial is very useful..good effort
When the video isn't relevant to you because you use FL Studio but you love all things music so you watch anyway.
Literally same, I'm watching this video to see how much harder ableton is to FL😆
I was looking for a video to learn how to use Ableton and your video it's practical but I Love it, Amazing🔥🔥
The background music while you're talking is SO irritating, when I am trying to concentrate on what you are saying. Arrrrgh!
I agree!
I agree too
i know right T___T
Grrrrrr :) like, whyyy ??
@@Rudrakshiva Like whyyy?? Because if you are concentrating on what someone is saying to learn from them, and there is music competing with their voice for your attention, it makes it doubly hard to take in the information. The music has nothing to do with the message you are trying to get across and so is superfluous.
This program followed along with my mic that I bought way back. I've never used it, so I had no idea how to start, but knowing the basics of it, it looks like something I'll definitely spend some time playing around with.
Thanks for the comprehensive video :)
Brilliant! Thank you. Took me only three hours to copy and learn! This was my first proper experience with Ableton.
u are teaching way to fast. good info though
I'm working on a new song now actually and thank you for your tutorial, I switched from FL Studio to this one, I feel this software has so much to offer as well.
