I have come across one very helpful tutorial though. Made by a very clear and knowledgeable instructor with very useful information. The presenter is Stephen L. Smith and I believe the tutorials was made by VTC. But it is for an older version of Ableton, Live 7. Not many differences and should be very helpful. It was the tuturial that finally made me say... "Ahh, I got this. Ok I think I understand what everything does and how to do it now!". Good luck!

Thanks brotha

Speaking about Ableton Live.. I believe www.dubspot.com is going to start offering online classes. They teach everything, Ableton, Logic, Traktor, Reason.. just about everything that you would need. I'm waiting for my traktor kontrol s4 to come in and I'll sign up for these classes as soon as possible.

Just to add to this, if DJ TechTools started offering some online classes, (I know that they have free online tutorial for some things) it would be an awesome addition to the website.

Is it worth college creds? I'm willing to bet it is. Seems worth it.

This guy has some nice free tutorial vids. Also, look around at community colleges, or stuff like that, maybe there's a course somewhere. I'm corrently doing a 12 lesson Ableton course. The lessons are 2.5 hours each, but they feel like 30 minutes. I only paid around €125 for the course, because im a college student.

may i say, the s4 is a pleasure to play with, but still more interested by the software update that will follow
