SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Ableton has a monstrous learning curve. Look into videos on youtube. Making awesome music will happen over time. It could take years, or even, the remainder of your life. Music comes naturally, and Ableton can help you make amazing music with only a mouse, if you have good paitence.
i would get a midi keyboard first
get to the Choppa
BUY IT
You would be better off with the launchpad
i wana poo on ur head
cant you replace fl studio, pro tools etc with ableton? or is it just for live performance? you can produce and compose entire songs with ableton as well right?
id say pick one up because it really shows you how ableton is supposed to be used…i was using it like fl studio for a while
you guys should check out my new apc40 video i got it yesterday and i made this beat and performed it today!

thumbs up if you watched it and liked it!:)
‘im going to go to the masterbater over here’
From what i’ve heard, APC40 for your first controller then get a novation launchpad after.
buy a midi controller such as an akai mpk25, something like that or whatever is your preference. Buy an APC40 when you want to perform your music. It would be best if you would start learning ableton to make sure that you really want to make music and truly like it. I say this is as the APC40 and whole production business can be quite expensive and it’s always best to go out for a test drive than buying everything immediately. good luck!
0:49 and the best feature: you can play snake
Think ill just buy a Launchpad, then probably buy some effect stuff
Well, this is probably way too late, but as long as you keep practising, you can learn anything
buy my blue apc40 off ebay for 175 – search: blue APC40 Limited Edition
This guys name is Sven.
Pretty easy to learn so no it is not a “out of this world” learning curve.
It’s Alpha, but it actually works really well. I bought a Launchpad today and have been using it with FL all day checking it out, and it works excellently.
still in Alpha though
FL has a new performance mode now, which lets you do the same stuff.
I make my music with Fl Studio, but the mash it up, mix it, perform, etc with Ableton Live.
the pac 40 doesn’t make music or help you…its just for performing it…and i didn’t know anything about ableton and i bought the apc40(came with ableton lite) for 300$
