Back to the Basics

[DJ Bobby Hickz]

I have been experimenting with Ableton Live for a little while now, and I've decided to go back to the basics of some of my on-line tutorials. I'm still relatively new at this music creation software.

Have been a DJ for at least 20 years, but never really got into creating my own stuff. Now more than ever I want to create my own sounds.

I'm a house DJ, some dance and top 40, techno, electro house.

Question:
Which on-line tutorials have you found to be most informative???

Here is a link to an Ableton Live 9 review, and putting the new conversion features to the test. Enjoy

Hope it will help you.


Cheers!

You should start with the built in lessons to get the basics down, check the Help view menu. Read the manual so you know what the program can and can't do and where to find stuff.

THen try to create a whole track in your own, upon facing questions and "how to?" look up for tutorials on the web.

Tom cosm is a good start, asl there was a free course by dubspot.

Also look at coursera, they have right now a digital sound design course and a production one later this month I believe

I will always recommend these guys as they have thought me sooo much through their videos... Vespers , Tom Cosm, Mr Bill and ill Gates... also check for Dubspot, they have some free videos out. And dont forget that Tarekith has some awesome guides on his website.

These are the exact 4 guys I always go back too as well. Im only about 6 months into using ableton and djing but I have learned sooo much from tbeir videos. Some of these guys videos I have literally watched over a dozen times and I still pick up on new things every time I watch them again.
