How To Use MIDI Controllers With Ableton Live

Your format and teaching style is fantastic mate. Perfect amount of detail and conveyed really well. That's a skill on its own. Having a single series to work through for beginner stuff without jumping from random video to video is a godsend. Good stuff. I'm up to #6 so far, keep 'em rolling!

so detailed and easily explained! thank you so much for giving back your knowledge <3

this has helped for sure thank you so much!

Magnifico!!! Obrigado ❤

You cannot imagine how useful this video (and the whole series) was!!! Before it, it was impossible for people (like me) analogic to a 100%. You made it possible what I’d been considered out of my understanding. Thanks a lot!!!

Just so happened to be looking for one thing and this man saved my life in multiple ways😭✨kinda gave me recording inspiration with the lil examples you used as well💚🔥

Starting out with this gear is a bit like falling into the middle of the ocean. Thanks Taetro for providing hope, and direction. I can't see the shore yet but I'm not drowning anymore.

Super helpful bro. Thanks!

Very good video, thanks for that. However I miss how to change instrument from the keyboard. In your video you had an piano on track 2, what if i load a base on track 1. How can i from the keyboard change instrument?

How do you midi map two hardware devices to the same autofilter macro knob? Do you have to use the editor for each device and set same cc. But in my experience ableton only midi maps the device id and cc. Eg its not possible to map 2 different controllers to the same function. (Cause for conflict) but what if your studio has multiple playing areas 15 ft apart. I cant keep moving my controllers to the playing area i am in rather have two knob twisters in each area. or an akai lpd8 wireless and move it to each area.

Awesome!! You make everything so clear

This series is helping me loads! You are basically my online teacher helping me with Ableton Live, the Akai MPK Mini MK3, and music production in general. It's all very complicated if you don't know where to start, but your videos are the best start I can imagine! Thank you so much!

this was genuinely the most helpful video i could find thank you so much! i could not for the life of me figure out why the knobs weren't knobing Thanks!!!

Finally someone who explains calmly, efficiently, clearly... And you don't show off. Really good, thank you! ------ Terminology wasn't always explained, but MIDI stands for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface", and, CC stands for "Continuous Controller" ;)

Great explained!!!

Great series buddy! Digging it till now. Had a question - I did the midi mapping of reverb auto filter and delay like in the video, and works well with the selected track, but when i change the selected track to track 2 , the nobs were changing the device with the hand sign on, so i re mapped the nobs to other options for the new selected track, but now the same nob is changing the praramenter assigned to it for track 1 and as well as track 2.

Hello. I have Akai Pro mpk mini 2 . I have such a problem that when I start Ableton, even if I choose the default synthesizer, the knobs do not work for me. Do I really need to map them every time?

Im learning from ur content and Im so happy im starting from scratch and its so fun and delightful learning it from you ❤ur vibes so good

Helped me get started. Great production, presentation, demeanor, etc...
