Compose Music in Real Time on Ableton Live 9 within an Hour of Installing!

Will you watch this passionate introduction to using Ableton Live 9 for the first time because you might be inspired to compose music in session mode with no formal music education or experience required? Today was my first day using Ableton Live 9 Suite yesterday after purchasing at https://www.ableton.com/en/shop/live/ yesterday and installing my plugins from FL Studio 12. Here is what I did to get started fast along with taking the course from my friend Tomas George at http://u.tomasgeorge.com/.

1. Where to install Ableton Live 9 on Windows or a computer with multiple hard drives such as SSD for speed with less space and an external SATA hard drive with more space but at 7200 RPM? I installed Ableton after reading the help documentation at https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209069989-Using-multiple-hard-drives into C: on windows because this is my fast SSD drive. I also put the VST plugins there. Everything else will be on my D: drive which has over 1 TB of free space but is much slower than the SSD drive C.
2. Verified my M-Audio Oxygen 25 MK IV USB Pad/Keyboard MIDI Controller was working.
3. Learned in the second lecture of Tomas George's Ableton Live 9 video course at https://u.tomasgeorge.com/courses/abletonlive to start in session mode because I want to play music live and am not interested in making individual songs or tracks.
4. Read the tutorials on how to map my MIDI controller which requires changing the remote setting to on and then clicking what I want to map.
5. Discovered that for my MIDI controller to play into Ableton I need to have the red record button on and that I can map this to keys on my MIDI controller to change which device I am playing. I must have spent 10 or 20 minutes trying to figure this out.
6. Threw together a quick drum sample, random chords, and played in to practice making an entire song live!

Ableton Live 9 Suite has all of the features I believe empower any musician, even one with no formal music education, training, practice, or experience, to make beautiful music from day 1!

Thank you for reading about my first day with Ableton 9 Live Suite on Windows 10 after previously using FL Studio 12 as my digital audio workstation or DAW. Would you please leave a like on this video if you would like me to share what I learn along the way because your like will help me see the value of making more videos like this?
