All language subtitles for 004 Introduction - Part 3 Basic Track Controls

Hi there and welcome to this video, where I'm going to show you the basics of some of the track controls.

So if you ever want to listen to one track on its own, then you can press the solo button on the track.

Let me just show you now.

You can adjust the volume of a track by clicking and dragging this slider left or right.

You can adjust the panning of a track, so how far left or right it appears in the stereo image.

And you can double click to go back to the default.

You can deactivate a track by clicking on this orange icon here, and this effectively mutes the track.

And you can click once more to reactivate the track.

Okay, so something else to note, we can also access these controls from within the session view as well.

So let's go back over to the session view.

As you can see here on the track, we have our different icons, so we have a volume as a fader here.

We have our panning as a dial.

And we also have our solo and deactivate icons here. Whatever changes you make in the session view will

also affect the arrangement view and vice versa. Right,

so that's the very basics of Ableton Live.

We're going to start creating a new song from scratch in the next section where we be going into a lot

more detail of the processes involved when creating music in Ableton Live.

So this may seem quite complex right now, but I just wanted to give you an overview of how Ableton

Live works before we actually get into making music.

Hopefully, now you should have a basic understanding of the workflow of this software

However, don't worry

if not, we're going to go over all of this again in a lot more detail in the following videos in this

course.
