Ableton Forum

yeah, good on you for that, but... is this guy for really real or a mult?

i mean RTFM is not even an option... it's more like get definitions for the feature list.

Always the benefit of the doubt. Paranoia will only spread negativity.

namaste.

If I can give them the basics, and a good tutorial, I can send them on their way. And then they can piss off their parents when they make the floors rumble and the windows squelch haha

I'd hate for someone to be put off of such a brilliant program so quickly.

I am typing this all on my phone btw haha

I was that way for years when they bundled the free versions with M-Audio gear.

YouTube doesn't have many MEGA BASIC STARTER EDITION ABLETON TUTORIAL vids. Even if it did, I don't know if it'd show on searches. But if you get people on the right foot, they can watch any vid and it'll make just enough sense where they can learn on their own.

Questions are without a doubt one of te greatest tools we have. Answers act as a medicine, but sometimes having An answer doesn't help you realize All possible answers. So yeah. I'm rambling now haha

I would suggest you just mess around. Don't stress! You'll learn much more by trying to do stuff yourself than by trying to get other people trying to show you how.

Getting to be a Live power user takes a while. But being a newbie is easy. It's not like Cubase (or at least not like it used to be) where the learning curve is really steep and where you can spend hours and hours not achieving a thing. Don't forget to read the manual. It's really helpful. And even before you read the manual, try the built in tutorials.And play around. Often, you may find stuff out by accident that you would never heave figured out

And most importantly, enjoy the process! Don't get frustrated. This is not a test. You won't get bad grades or lose your job if you can't produce beats instantly.

Funken and innerstate's sites should have some of those though.
