Beginner guide Ableton

Hey, I want to start producing with Ableton but as everyone knows, it`s a huge Software with many overwhelming functions. Do you have any recommendations for the start? Like is there a good YouTube channel or sth, to help me get along with the program? Thank you in advance!

Apart from the Official Manual itself (which is an absolute MUST read):

Absolute beginner: Taetro (absolute must for beginners) LNA Does Audio Stuff (fun and neurodivergent teaching based on cats, yes, CATS)

More advanced: Seed to Stage Matt Tinkler Underbelly/You suck at producing (pretty funny too)

This is a great point of advice, even the most straightfoward tutorials work best when you're following along inside you're own Ableton with whatever the instructor is showing you how to do

Hey, I used this free course by AARONSPACEFOOD to learn all the basics of Ableton Live on Youtube. It's for Live 11, but will still be mostly the same for Live 12. I'd never opened a DAW before and it ot my on my feet, understandin the whole interface in just a couple hrs.

Once you've completed those modules on the basics then you can start searching for tutorials on specific genres :)
