Ableton Live 8 for beginners

Hi guys, as you can see I’m new to the website and have been searching around for a course to get me started with Ableton Live. I’ve seen the Ableton Live intro for beginners course but don’t know whether this is applicable to the full version?? Can anyone advise me whether this would apply or not?? br
br
Also as I’m here, has anyone got any tips on the best way to get started using/learning the software??br
br
All advice is welcome!!br
br
Thanks in advance!!

br
yes Ableton Live Intro is just the entry level Ableton Live 8 so it will work fine for youbr
br
we also have a new Live 9 course which is just released if you have a copy of it?

Hi,br
br
I’d say the best way is to just jump in with both feet u can’t break it so just watch some tuts and have fun with it :slight_smile:

Thanks for the advice guys!! I like the concept of jumping in but its the jumping in with no structure to reach an achievement/goal?! Sounds strange I know but its a bit hard to explain.br
br
As for the live 9 course, would it be relevant to live 8??br
br
Thanks again guys!!:smiley:

Theres a few differences but pretty much the same product with a few upgrades…I’d just start trying to make some basic loops at first before getting into making an entire song so that you know your way around the program at least.

there are a couple other courses that are more beginning production with ableton that were specific for ableton 8.br

Hi rforbes, I’ve looked around the site and all the tutorials are intermediate or expert of which I am neither. Where have you seen the live 8 ones??
