It's easy to get overwhelmed with everything, and if you are completely new it's not always easy figuring out exactly where you should start.
He's simply asking what a good approach would be to start learning it.
#ABLETON LIVE 10 MANUAL HOW TO#
He's not asking someone to give him step by step directions on how to use the program. I think people are reading this the wrong way. I have learned a lot more from the sources above and by asking questions on forums (naturally having searched for the answer first )
#ABLETON LIVE 10 MANUAL MANUAL#
I only really reference the manual when I have a specific question rather than working my way through it cover to cover. Read the production bible at the top, and understand that there is a lot to take in and it may take a while. There is a ton of info out there and good resources like here, Dogs on Acid etc. Follow those, just start working out what does what. Use the manual as a reference, but look on Youtube for tutorials on beats, bass using Operator etc. Google any terminology you don't understand, try and grasp basic concepts such as envelopes, synthesis etc. It is complicated, you will think WTF? a lot. OP, you just need to start fucking about with it. It IS overwhelming at first, no doubt, and being a giant ass to someone who is clearly having some problems won't help anyone and isn't adding anything to the discussion. I was also more interested in getting wasted and chasing skirt than locking myself away and actually grafting. Back then there was no Youtube, tutorials or any of that shit and I didn't know anyone who did production. I used to have the exact same problem when I were a whipper snapper. im just fucking around but seriously you can tell the kid is lazy."when i open ableton i go wow this is complicated and do something else" - wrong attitude for this hobby right there.īit of a 'holier than thou' statement right there. for fucks sake is this rocket science or what boysīut yeah i mean i admit i was being a bit of a douche. once you get a slight idea of what the fuck your doing, then you read a bit more in depth in the manual. Well thats obvious.whoever said you should read the thing cover to cover right off the bat? no offense but i think its pretty common fucking sense to first read a few basics from the manual, start fucking about in the daw, then look up tutorials and read on the net. By physically doing the action rather than just reading it, it's much easier for you to retain that information.

The best way to use your manuals is to use the program, and then refer to it when you have a question about what it is you are trying to do. It's just entirely too much information for your brain to take in all at once and you will most likely have forgotten a lot of it before you even made it to the end.
Generally, reading the entire thing from cover to cover is not a good idea. The way manuals are written, they pile a lot of information into one document. Manuals are generally used as reference, not as a book. Well this is a pretty dumb response, but whatever. do you really need to ask this? its the first thing i did when i got my daw, without even having to think about it.
its pretty obvious that the first thing you should be doing is reading the manual, reading info on the net, and watching tutorials. DO U THINK I SHOULD GET A LICENSE OR LEARNS HOWS TA DRIVE FIRSTZZZ? ALSO, DOES THE SUBI HAVE ANY NICE PRESETZZ FOR SICK SHIFTZZ? ITS BEST TO SPEND $500 ON SOMETHING YOU WILL NEVER USE. Lyons238 wrote:NO I WOULDNT READ THE MANUAL OR WATCH ANY TUTORIALS.
