Maybe youвЂ™ll find out that learning how to make beats, loops, and other audio tracks isnвЂ™t really your thing after all. Almost seems like too much stuff for the beginner, right? ThatвЂ™s why, if you really want to learn the software, you need to dedicate the time. It will be stripped down of course, with fewer sounds, instruments, and plugins to play with.Д«ut it will have session and arrangement views, multitrack recording capabilities, Capture MIDI, and audio input and output channels, and more.

When learning Ableton, youвЂ™ll want to make sure you have the basics downвЂ“you need to learn to walk before you can run.Д«ecause the building blocks of making music will be roughly the same for any version of Ableton, we recommend that you start with Ableton Lite, a free version of the software.

The general consensus believes youвЂ™ll need anywhere from six months to a year to truly understand Ableton on your own and take advantage of everything it has to offer. But if you donвЂ™t know how to use the different audio and MIDI effects, youвЂ™ll continually run into dead ends. Ableton has an enormous collection of sounds, drums, and instruments to choose from. Making music is a very creative endeavor, but there are technical aspects to consider as well. If youвЂ™re willing to spend at least a few hours a day learning the software, youвЂ™ll become familiar with the menus, views, knobs, and other features much faster than if you work on it вЂњwhen you can.вЂќ Think of it as a job or going to the gym and carve out time every day to master the basics. Why are you learning Ableton in the first place? Is becoming an audio engineer, music producer, Live DJ, or other music creator something youвЂ™d like to do for a living? Or are you creating loops, samples, and basslines for fun during the weekend? Learning Ableton for a career or as a hobby will have many different answers. But just how much practice do you need to become proficient with Ableton? As with any digital audio workstation (DAW), musical instrument, or every other tool in the recording studio, how long to learn Ableton depends on how much time and effort youвЂ™re willing to put forth. Recording Connection mentor Bernard Johnson & student Efrain Matias at Noize Factory Studios (San Diego, CA)ДЄs they say, practice makes perfect.
