Awesome tutorial, learned a few useful things I didn't know :) My only issue/question I have (and this is with all of your tutorials) Is that I never know whether or not an instrument you use comes with Ableton Live 8 or Solely with Ableton Suite. Like the "Operator" you use so much..it's only available in Suite. But It took quite a while for me to figure that out. I would love it if you could differentiate between which instruments come with whatever version of Live. Thanks!

@riseup20twelve In that case you have to make a new midi* track for each instrument you want to record. Experiment with the OVR (overdub) button and remember you can always undo mistakes. yw

@HowToAbleton but they are both midi tracks both bass n drums? thanks for replying so quick mate
Nice tutorial. im not really new to Ableton but i do have a question. How do you stay focused when your making a track, so far ive had so many ideas that i start, but suddenly halfway through ill lose all inspiration for them and they get left by the wayside. do you have any tip for staying focused when working?

@Ikarimakesmusic Its a common problem and a question that we've all asked before. I would suggest not frowning upon every "half-idea", instead - just click and drag the idea into the left hand folder for later use. Seperating "music making time" and "sound-creation-fuckabout" time is also advantageous, I find. Hope that helps. ET

@GeetarGuy101 As I said in the video- Arm the the track, click the keyboard icon (top right) and use your PC keyboard. :/
