This forum has probably been flooded with these post, but I decided to give it a try. I have got my hands on ableton but now feel utterly lost, the terminology, the look, just everything about this program confuses me, but at the same time its got me hooked. What i'm asking is if there is someone on this forum who is willing to help me or at least point me in the right direction that would be nice. Also if this is the wrong forum for this I'm sorry. Thanks for any help offered.

I don't want to be an ass here, but like you already mentioned, this forum has been flooded by those kinds of posts.

The answer is always the same: start watching YT videos on Ableton, theres material for several weeks learning on there. If you have a specific problem, someone will help you here of course.

Good luck!

What exactly are you looking for? As in, to make what style of music?

For house, electro and dubstep, a guy called ArtFX (a producer from Holland) did a season of tutorials on building a track from scratch. It does rely on having a few other plugins though. Well worth a run through for a grasp of concepts like sidechaining, blending, mixing, what soudns compliment each other etc.

Here's the link for the series:
