I found it difficult to follow along to Bill's first two Ableton courses, but I learned a LOT on this one. It's full of useful information and tips and I'll definitely be going over it again. My only complaint was the section on MIDI effects. I found a lot of stuff was skipped over quickly and I still don't understand how many of the effects work. I'll try consulting the manual to see if it helps. Other than that, it is a great course.

Wow.Transitioning to Ableton has been difficult for me. There is so much that can be done with it, and learning the software has been overwhelming. I had no idea where to start. Thank you Bill and AskVideo. Thank you.

This was a great course, it surely increased my knowledge of Ableton considerably. I already knew some stuff about MIDI and MIDI recording in Ableton but this course showed me a lot of things I didn't know about. If you don't have any knowledge of MIDI this course is essential. Bill is also a great teacher, he explains things very clearly. 5/5!

So Bill has a dry presentation style (and humour to match) but his knowledge of Live is second to non and he is continually shining a bright light on this brilliant software as i transfer my skills across from Logic - which requires a slightly different mindset IMO. Unfortunately watching this course has cost me Â£350 - as having seen the huge fun/control options in the last video i now HAVE to buy an iPad. (Yes - i'm late to the iPad party - but better late than never!!) Nice work Dude !!

Never before has a tutorial on MIDI editing made me laugh out loud - in a good way! Bill's style is incredibly fresh, funny and most of all informative. A great series.

Good tutorial. I knew most of the material we were going through but liked the section on step sequence programming

Ableton is far superior to any other DAW in regard to MIDI, IMO. Bill shows it off nicely.
