This is the first episode of a multi-part tutorial for Ableton Live 12. In this video, I'll show you how to create your first beat and save it as an audio file to your hard drive. To do this, we'll use the Drum Rack with the 808 Core kit and create notes in the piano roll.

I use the Shure SM7dB as my microphone:

My main keyboard is the Novation Launchkey 88:

Actually, I mostly use the Novation FLkey 49:

I use the Novation NOVLPD06 as my MIDI controller:

I use the Apollo (Universal Audio) as my audio interface,
but I would actually recommend the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4:

We use the Genelec 1037A for our speakers, but for many of you, the 8331A will probably be perfectly sufficient:

But sometimes I also use Ableton Live.

I often record my voice with the Rode NT-USB microphone.

My monitors:

For mastering, I usually use the L3 (from Waves),
which you can find in the Waves Horizon Bundle:

or the iZotope Ozone 9.
