I'd love to start recording with my lappy, but I'm a duffer at it. I need someone to sit down and show me, bascially.

1) Download cracked copy of Ableton Live 9 from Teh P****e B*y
2) Follow tutorial that comes with the program
3) Start by ripping off samples from tunes you like
4) Record extra bits from whatever 'real' instruments you have lying around
5) Basically fuck around and have fun
6) Profit

It worked for me. Well, apart from the profit bit. But I'm working on that.

Rather embarrasingly, I already own Ableton Live
but I couldn't get it to work. It drove me to the point of wanting to throw the computer out of the window.
(, Thu 14 May 2015, 12:24, archived)
Hmm, can't help you there I'm afraid.
What version? I found the tutorial that came with version 9 was enough to get started with, and I'd never used any comparable software before.

Or do you mean the software won't actually run properly?

Well yes, I was too but it turned out to be a fantastic investment due to their lifetime warranty.
The first ram they sent in 2012 for £100 was full of errors but I couldn't be bothered to return it. Then 3 months ago I built my new computer, returned the ram and they sent me some new ram, now worth £200, that works fine.
