How did you start with ableton? and learn everything?
I started after I saw Bassnectar rock out on a trigger finger.
I have used everything from youtube to abletonlivedj.com to learn.

same. i learned a lot from youtube, s4racen, ableton forums. look up tom cosm!
I started out producing with ableton back in 2005 after originally using Reason... I read tutorials and watched a few videos. I then actually did a few live shows opening for Rabbit In the Moon in 2007... other than tose shows I did back then I don't really do any shows with Ableton, but it is my first program i use for production, then I use Logic.
Mess around with the clip view; creating, cueing, playing, mixing clips. Then decide what you want to concentrate on. If you're more into live performance get deeper into clip functions. Otherwise, if you prefer music productions I recommend stepping into the arrangement process.
In case you have already got some experience with a DAW, Ableton should work pretty straight-forward for you. It's quite intuitive and most steps just work the way you'd expect them to.
Also, yeah... in general look for online tutorial videos.
i messed around a bit here and there .. since xmas i am doing the abletoncourse.com programm and its helping me find a lot of small features and workflows.

I am suprised no one has mentioned the Manual
The Ableton manual is pretty in depth and id definitely consider it must reading if you want to rock Ableton.
i bought a UMX 25 from behringer. it came with a lite version of ableton 4. i actually bought it to be used with traktor. have used ableton ever since. slowly trying anything and everything i see other people do. not rushing anything tho but still have heaps still to learn. im still with live 7 lol dont kno if i should skip 8 n wait for 9?
