Ableton Forum

First of all, this is awesome and inspiring to read. God speed on your journey to creativity! First thing I'd recommend is watching as many YouTube tutorials as you possibly can. There are some great introduction videos that will surely help you. Second of all, I recommend finding a workshop next to...

Beautiful space! Is this in Germany?

Actually click on the FX in Ableton, and "show in finder" seems to show that particular list so i could copy and paste to a USB? Yes, when you click show in finder, it opens up the root folder which Ableton is reading/writing to. So you can pull that folder on to your USB and it will be s...

Hello everyone, As the title states, I am a complete beginner at Ableton. I have no clue how the program works or how all the tracks like MIDI and Audio function. I am not a beginner to music, I used to work with FL Studio but Ableton is a completely new work flow... Long story short, can anyone re...

Thanks for posting! I think there is something learn from all tastes, so keep 'em coming!

I think it's always fun to watch these sort of things, but more importantly, I'm always picking up tips and tricks, making screenshots of helpful presets/settings, and generally walking away inspired.
