Martin Delaney

The more I go back to Martin Delaney's tut to refresh & deepen my Live knowledge the more I appreciate it, he's not a great orator but a truly great Ableton expert even though it's about version 7 that I bought a while ago. It would be great if he laid down his know how with version 8, specially with setting up & playing with different midi controllers. He doesn't seem to have any serious rivals in that category that I've seen so far. Live is such an amazingly layered & flexible musical tool, it...

This tutorial really helped me get a headstart into Ableton - especially with the session view which was totally new to work with. Its also loaded with a lot of tips and tricks in most lessons. Martin drawls a little and IMHO, it could have been a little faster

I really enjoyed this tutorial.It covered a lot of material and was clear to understand. Thanks.

I'm fascinated by Ableton Live & M. Delaney is a great expert but his teaching style might be too layed back for me, in his tone of voice there was not enough pointers to specifics , he slides though lessons evenly as if reading an instruction manual. He knows this app so well I'm sure he could teach Ableton in his sleep.

Hi,technically it's excellent but it would be superb if you were to give an example of producing a basic music track by using Simpler,operator,etc..This would be fun and very intuitive as at the moment I'm going backwards and forwards into ableton..It would make it sink in so much more if for ten-fifteen minutes one of you started to lay a track down from the beginning.obviously it doesn't need to be a club classic..your instructor on the tutorial is so knowledgeable but he sounds bored to death...

Very in formative adn useful

Very good content ... movea alittle slow ..... Enjoy and have learned alot Looking for more on 7

the videos are great , very helpfull , you have acces to every aspect of the software detailed by sections, it makes it easy to go to a topic whenever you want. It motivates your creativity good

Good starting point for anyone interested in using Ableton. I look forward to some more in depth classes in the near future.

this tutorial really helped me to understand ableton. i learned very fast. i´m looking forward to see more ableton tutorials!

Like many others who have this product, I have the previous tutorial that Martin Delaney did. I have to say that I do tend to agree with another reviewer who commented on the rather discordant and tuneless content featured in these videos. However, I must also say that Martin has a comprehensive knowledge of Live and I really learnt a lot and that's what counts. Martin's style is very laid back and quintessentially English - it just takes a little getting used to. I am also from the UK...

I was originally afraid to get this tutorial because I thought it was going to be identical to the ableton live 6, but it was not, it was better. You people at macprovideo really know how to take care of your customers and the discounts you offer are a wonderful incentive to a wonderful product!! Thanks again Martin Delaney, BIG UP!!!

The tutorial was a bit quick and Martin 's voice is kinda mumbly !! Wished Steve H or Martin Sitter knew Ableton haha all in all tho, good tutorial !

This video presents a good overview of the basic features of Live. There are some useful tips for more experienced users, however the narrator's presentation is rather monotone and boring. Even worse, the musical examples he plays while showing off Live's features are tediously repetitive, boring and out of tune with each other. Believe me, live can produce more than bleeps and blips.

good job!!! :D

Really enjoyed using the video tutorials..much more usefull than reading a book and quicker to reference.. also like that things are explained mostly jargon free..

A very good in depth rguide on how to use ableton, an in depth section on how to dj with it would have been useful as it only scratched the surface of this area. I'll have to look elsewhere for that, overall very good though.

Great tutorial. I am a novice in the digital production world and found this video to outstanding. I have watched lots of other tutorials and found this to be my favorite thus far. The lessons are broken down clearly and in the right durations. I look forward to checking out the Logic 8 101.

I didn't really enjoy this course very much.. I found the presentation style dull and the content wasn't nearly as good as the many other course (logic and Reason) that I have purchased. I think this could be improved.

This set of training videos are mainly for the novice into Ableton Live, but also the experienced user can obtain some new tricks/inspiration. For the price its great. Only the voice of Martin Delaney makes you kinda sleepy at times.

Hi, I thought the Live 7.0 DVD was fantastic. Mr. Delaney has done an extremely thorough job. Nothing more to ask for. First class work!!!! : )

Overall a good job, especially for the novice (me). Would have liked to have seen the same functionality for the PC version of the NED player as the Mac though.

I found the Ableton Live 101:Core Live 7 to be very helpful, nice and quick, straight to the point short vid's. It was a nice pace all the way through. I'd definatly recommend this to my friends and any nOObs.

Extremely good core tutorial, the complete ground-zero guide for everyone interested in using Live. Some visualization problems (bad aspect ratio)

Loving It! Very well done and thought out.

GREAT! i only bought ableton cuz my niece is a cheerleader and the half wit who did the competition music for her team is incompetent. having zero knowledge in electronic anything, my mix killed his after 1 day of macprovid ,tutorials (ableton 7) i highly recommend this sight to anyone who is "music first" and "tech second" the instructors have an excellent feel for disseminating the relevant material for beginners, thanx Martins'

Very good tutorial still learning a lots from it.

Another excellent tutorial... Just when I thought I knew Live 7 here comes another one from Martin showing bits and pieces and missing links that would've taken me quite some time to figure it out by myself. Good job guys, as usual 5 out of 5! keep them coming!

I found the tutorial to be very in depth than others i've seen. So far i've learnt some new tips although some of the videos are a little short but still very good stuff. Is there any other more in depth videos you might have. Thanks.

The music is way to soft behind the instruction.. not quite as slic and to the point as the logic series. Tends to mumble a bit. otherwise great - good way to learn...

I purchased this tutorial to learn Ableton Live. I have purchased 3 other tutorials from macprovideo.com (logic 7 and 8 and ESX24 advanced concepts) and I loved them. Unfortunately the Ableton Live tutorial was less than I expected compared to the logic tutorials. I was hoping to get more out of it about performance, the teacher seemed to be rehashing the same simple concepts over and over and never really got to the real concepts about controlling live in and live performance setting, the basic...

Always love your tutorials, how ever I find myself falling asleep to the ones with english accents, I end up skipping the ableton live lessons simply because i feel its dragging on, long pauses, sluring of words. Maybe its the radio producer in me, but that voice over is some what a drag. Thanks again. As asked feed back good or bad.

Very useful tutorial. I am new to live, and had some problems to use it. Ableton made a great job in usability, but the complexity and features of the software need to be handled. If you watch the whole tutorial you know almost everything about live 6. The structure of the video is very good. You can find the right film for your problem very often. On my wishlist is a tutorial about producing electronic music with ableton with an special chapter about using live with reason. That would be gr...

As a Systems Engineer, I touch alot of technology, and I know how frustrating it can be to stay abreast of all the different technologies; and I've tried many. Your video courses are both outstanding AND convenient. I find that they fit very comfortably into my busy schedule and continue to pique my curiosity with all these new little things I learn. I'm very impressed with your series, but Martin's style of teaching is excellent. It's just too bad he doesn't have a sense of humor ! (Just teas...

I find very hard to hear the sound of ableton devices on your tutorials, to be more precise i can perfectly hear Mr. Delaney voice but not what is doing with ableton, so is difficult to understand what happens when he changes settings to ableton devices... Apart from that I found your tutorials FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Keep on improving and I'll follow you...

I thought the instructional video for Ableton 6 was very good. Everything was instructed very methodically. Everything flowed extremely well. This video enabled me to learn the system without reading the entire book. Very good job.

The tutorial started out great and clearly the tutor is enthusiastic about the application. As the tutorial went into greater detail about certain functions, the clips he chose to use could have been better at demonstrating the desired effect. Some of the audio sounds he manipulated were too abstract to see how they would fit in musically with a typical composition of popular music. Overall it was excellent and unlocked the application for me. Thank you and I will use your service with...

Very helpful and concise video tutorials.

BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRIALLIANT! Excellent tutorials that surpass abletons own in built ones. The value for money is outstanding and I was delighted to find that NED (their awesome edcation platform programme) updates itself so you get extra goodies arriving even after you have finished the course! Cant recommend these courses highly enough - The HYPER LEARN facility is priceless. The ability to learn at twice the speed is something you cant be without. Buy now or regret later - like I...

For those who dont know where to start with ableton live this is the tutorial for you, I was clueless as to what this program can do but this tutorial helped me out big time, now I can finally start making beats with the simplest of ease, highly recommended for noobs

Very very bad,what a shame, and most of all what a waste of money. I wouldn't mind to get my money back.

I am very dissappointed about your video,I was expecting some thing more professional,more deep,some tricks and tips.(MASTERING LIVE6).Actually in my opinion it's good just for beginners.I wouldn't recommend your video to anyone.I found it very bouring,never again.

GREAT LEARNING TOOL...THANKS!

hit the ground running and go

I think it's great!

I'd highly recommend the Ableton Live 6 courseware. I've now a great understanding of the product which has helped me heaps. Has to be the best $55AUD I've spent in a very very long time. Highly recommended, thanks macprovideo!

Love it. Worth every penny.

With 2 books on the subject (2 more on the way) and numerous articles and performances, Martin Delaney really knows his way around Ableton Live. Delaney shows it ably in this tutorial, one that is both well-presented and deep with content. Delaney has a knack for getting to the point quickly and clearly, so I've often played excerpts from Ableton Live 101 for my sound design and music composition/production students. Whereas some other Ableton Live tutorials on the market fall well short of t...

Just wanted to say, as a pretty experienced DJ this has opened up a whole new world to me of remixing my own tracks. Fantastic clear tutorial which I am returning to over and over again as I venture further into the depths of Ableton. Will definately recommend your tutorial to anyone who is interested in learning Ableton.

Yet another masterpiece from macProVideo. This tutorial is essential to learning Ableton Live. Before purchasing this training I had a little experience with Ableton Live. This training took me about a week to complete and it gave me the knowledge I needed to be become an advanced user. I give it 10 stars!

I currently have 10 macProVideo tutorials. They are all excellent. This particular one really shows you all the amazing features of this application. Whether you're a DJ or "old school" (like me!), you'll definitely learn all you need to know to really get to grips with Live. Martin Delaney obviously knows this application inside out and his tutorial is delivered in an entertaining way with lots of dry English humour which I particularly enjoyed being from England myself! So, once again,...

MacProVideo does it again! This tutorial is a must have for the Ableton Live beginner and those who use the program regularly. Live for some can look deceptively simple but Martin Delaney opens up a whole new world of possibilities by explaining some amazing production techniques. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of this tutorial are amazing! If you want to master live and the concepts behind it quickly this is a must have! Thanks Martin & MacProVideo!
