Making Your FIRST Song in Ableton Live 11 (Using Stock Ableton Plugins / Instruments / Samples)

Ableton Live 11 is now out! This is purely for beginners - Making your first song from scratch. What should I cover next week? Let me know below! 👇

Thanks mate, great work!

This video alone has given me some new ideas, thank you so much!

Most useful tutorial I've come across even for an intro to the program for a complete beginner. Don't even need a keyboard.

Why don't I have the operator option on Ableton Live 11? I have the paid version. Do I have to download it?

Really appreciate the lack of waffle — just what you need delivered quickly

Will, fantastic. As you may know, I've switched to Ableton. I've mentioned you in a post over there on Facebook.

Anyways, with this video it was possible for me to find some functions in Ableton to set it up correctly. Also, handling Ableton became easier after this video. Thank you so much for it.

Very helpful, thank you!

it really isn't a good video. If this is for beginners, you song all of the sudden changes. No explanation. Plus the quality is absolute shit. A little tip when you make one of these, use a mousetracker, that puts a little circle around the cursor. Not a good video(for beginners), nothing personal. 99 % of video's are like this, even online courses.

Wow! Thanks a million for the lesson. Brilliant! Very easy to follow and understand - and that's coming from someone who is completly new at this. Your approach is inspiring.

is there a specific reason you choose to separate kick (extract chain) for sidechaining?

Thanks so much for the video Will! Your channel has really helped me feel less intimidated to learn music production! Cant wait to learn more from you 😄

Great tutorial Will - say I have a bit of bass synth from an already produced song how do I add that as an instrument?

Fantastic, cheers mate, I went through all the way with you and for the first time after trying for many times, i believe i understood something useful and will be able to do the same again with no worries. I'll be checking your other videos and subscribe and visit your channel often. I won't forget to share with people on my social media. Really appreciate the effort, bless your heart, cheers :)

Absolutely amazing. Thanks for the good work Will.

Excellent tuto! Thabk you!

This goes too fast and the music is totally off putting.those markers on the time line are super annoying to the point of ruining my concentration trying to get rid of them or use them .

I recently switched from my first free DAW with my Akai Mini to Ableton. You've saved me hours, HOURS, learning flow in this new DAW. Appreciated. 🙏

im stuck on trying to add in the drums because i can only see one note at a time. its stuck on 1 to 1.1.2 and so on intead of 1-7 like yours

Learned so much the last 3 weeks! I can not wait to sign up for your next class!

Dude you literally explain shit perfectly is the best timing. Thank you ❤

Best video so far 🎉

Really useful! Can't wait to get stuck in! Thanks for a great video!

it wont let me solo the kick drum and bass at same time

im having trouble at the bass section, when you go and copy the chords and put them into the bass midi , for some reason it doesnt let me copy them ?

Great video thank u

I'm unable to solo two tracks at once. I can't solo the kick and the bass together.

I'M IMPRESSED!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Amazing, thank you. Ableton creators deserve a Nobel prize for creating such intuitive software.

This is hard AF

what fixed grid should I work in? is there a right or wrong way? I know I'm going to be changing it around anyway throughout production but its a bit confusing in the piano scroll when I'm drawing my notes and I'm not sure if the length is correct. Every time I open piano roll its really zoomed out and just hassle to change settings every time.

video was great before you started singing :D just kidding, thanks -- it was a nice brief intro

Watching the part of creating the chords in this video help me to create them easy since I didn’t know I could select the scale so it can show me all the notes just in that scale thnx

basic song idea but not full length song

This is an amazing video that I will use this week to make my first song. (redacted)

Brilliant video, super helpful as a complete noob. Thanks heaps man.

To complicated for a beginner sorry :(

Hi mate, I currently use FL but wanna jump on to Ableton for its amazing workflow. I find Harmor, Sytrus and Harmless and some other stock FL plug-ins to be way more powerful than Operator or Analog. Please correct me if m wrong, and what are the equivalent alternatives in Ableton? What can i add in to compensate? I’m a House and Techno producer. Please advise.

I have been looking for awhile on a really good beginner's guide and this is it! Thank you so much!

Great video.. Love the singing part 😂👍🏻

Just awesome sir, thank you.

The best tutorial of all for me as a Logic user, thanks a lot!

Great Video - Gave me my final decision over getting ableton over FL studio

This was the best video on Ableton I have seen. Thank you so much! I can finally get started on producing my songs.

this is one of the best Ableton tutorials!

Will this work with Albeton Live 11 Lite?

This video is great! Thanks man :)

Unfortunately, the scale option is not available when inserting a midi clip. Is this not available during demo ?
