  • This is the first episode of a beginner tutorial for Ableton Live 11. In this video I show you how to create your first beat by loading the classic 808 drum rack. We use the piano roll to add some notes and create a beat for 2 bars. I´ll show your how to Render you track to your hard disc as wave file.
    All my videos for Ableton Live 11 are here:
    • Ableton Live Tutorials
    You can follow this video on mac or pc and with any version of ableton:
    Ableton Intro, Ableton Standard, Ableton Suite or with a crack 😉
    You will learn to understand bars and beats, beats per minutes and time signature. And I will explain you the difference between Session View and Arrangement View. Have Fun!

    I'm almost embarrassed of how many tutorials I've watched through to the end, that ended up being garbage. I learned more from you in this first video then I did from scores of other tutorials. I think your format is really great, I think the pace is really great, I think the length is really great. Keep up the good work!

    I second Bradley's comment below. I learned more in 20 mins than in all the other videos so far. Thanks for your calm, unhurried approach and for not trying to cram too much into a single video. Please continue with the series for Ableton Live 11. Just excellent.

    As a 47 year old junglist (ALL of my friends have long grown out of the genre, or even music in general) who hasn’t touched a DAW since Reason 2.5 but love DnB as much now as I did when I was a raver in my 20s, videos like this take the stress level of getting back into it from head butting the stud in the wall repeatedly to a, “Okay, this is frustrating but I got this” level. You may not be saving lives, but you’re definitely helping an already receding hairline.

I have previously been put off Ableton by poor and confusing tutorials, however, this was excellent, I followed along with no issues, and fully understood what I was doing and achieving. A first for me using Ableton. Now to move onto lesson 2 and forward.

    Totally new to Ableton, I was taught exclusively in Pro Tools and have only dabbled a bit on my own in Logic (PT is not the most practical for composing electronic or otherwise MIDI-centric stuff). Just got on the Live 11 3 month trial, thank you so much for this! You explained all the basics in a really clear and direct way, and I'm finding the UI and transport very easy to navigate. Great stuff! Look forward to following along with the rest of the series.

    Happily I have found Thomas here, he seems to me as the smartest and comprehensively skilled teacher so far...
    All his courses are the only really practically useful ones, plenty of interesting and valuable information, always focusing to what does it matters ! Coursely liked and subscribed for more with many thanks for this unique best Ableton support!

    Having been a Logic Pro user for the last fifteen years or so, I'm going back to Ableton. Learned how to use it back in 2012-2014 when studying for a Foundation Degree in Music Production. Entirely unique in terms of workflow, when compared to Logic and Pro Tools.
    WONDERFUL tutorial video. Thank you for going to the trouble to create and upload this.
    You speak English so well and more eloquently than some English people!!!
    Oh, I'm English and reasonably eloquent.

    I recently bought a midi keyboard so I could start recording my ideas more solidly. I had no experience whatsoever and it was daunting to see some really long tutorials for Ableton. This video was great! I love how you explain a little of everything from Ableton to even music theory and production, and how you teach how to do things manually and then with shortcuts as well as opening up menus. There are so many options in Ableton it can get kinda scary when you have no previous knowledge. Thanks a lot! I'll definitely keep watching your videos and subscribe!
