Trip Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 The best place Cupe, would be somewhere like youtube. Its often handy to grab a free sample pack or something to help you create some sounds. Theres plenty of tutorials around and you'll learn quickly from watching someone explain/demonstrate the basics.Theres a very steep learning curve involved with Ableton and it will take a while to get your head around, but once you do, it becomes fairly straightforward.The biggest advantage to Ableton is its Sesson view which is typically used for performing live and DJing. Its a completely different methodology to standard DJing but you'll begin to see the benefits after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyB Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 well i know you have a over view of production because i know you can produce.your best bet is to learn how the sequencer works, the best way to make your drum patterns, where the mixer is, all that essential stuff so you can create a basic track, and fropm there you slowly gather more info and what not, you already have a musical mind you just need an effecient way of gettign it from mind to PC haha just learn your way around ableton, watch any and every video you can about it. once you learn something you wont forget.There is ussualy some guys on youtube that have channels dedicated to giving tuts.

ChevChelios Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Stay inside, although youtube tuts and stuff are helpful, for beginner stuff I think its better if you figure it out yourself, for one its more of an accomplishment, and two you get to get your own workflow that works for you, not someone elses. Tutorials are better for more advanced techniques imo.Get at me on msn if you need anything ey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
