03.26.23 | I assume with Ableton Lite, you can download and use VST plugins (instruments, effects, etc.) so i suggest checking into free ones to start off with. The “Vital” plugin is free and can be found through Google. Real versatile, great, and there are a LOT of YouTube tutorials to familiarize yourself with the interface and a variety of sounds. Have fun! |

03.26.23 | yep youtube tutorials are very good these days
i believe lite's limitations are 8 tracks maximum, whcih is more than enough really for most things and limitless when you get into the world of resampling like the good old days
i'd say get started by just using stock ableton instruments and effects to get started, although if you wanna download anything i agree with mom vital is an excellent freemium synth
if you've got any idea of what sort of stuff you'd like to make i can probably give more tailored recs for youtube channels, but the following are great starting points for any electronic music (and are ableton-focused)
you suck at producing

03.26.23 | also read the manual and watch the tutorials ableton thmselves have uploaded. idk if you have experience with any other muasic software but if so it shouldnt take long to adjust, i moved from logic to ableton and it took me about a couple months max to get into a really good flow |
MoM
03.26.23 | Agreed with Sint. Better to get familiar with the stock plugins to start (i can’t remember what Lite comes with, but Ableton’s stock plugins are sick (Operator was my shit)).
It can take some time to learn, but the process can be fun and makes learning easier. |

03.28.23 | Thanks everyone! I haven't had the time to mess around with it too much yet. But I'm excited to get started soon. And proud of myself for actually making the commitment for once. |
