I am trying to get it to do so simple stuff, and having sorta mastered Sonar, this seems to do everything backwards. I totally don't get the idea of "creating scenes." Don't know what is up with that, or why that should be the centerpiece.
I love what it can do to a midi signal though for weird stuff and only want to perform a few simple operations with mulitrack recording of midi but keep getting roadblocked.
Basically, I can get one midi channel going with an instrument loaded, but if I insert another midi track it turns everything off on the first track and I can't figure it out for the life of me how to turn channel 1 back on and do a simple record with a loaded instrument on channel 2.
So, if any Ableton experts want to help an idiot out let me know.
Also, why don't they have a fast forward function in this program? It seems the most basic of all DAW functions, the ability to pick a spot and go to it, or back, but they seem to have overlooked that, I think. (Unless I am missing something.)
And is there a basic user friendly Ableton user manual anywhere with step by step instructions????
I am feeling the pain of the BIAB newbie here.

Kinda like Photoshop; it does all these wonderful things .. but not one of them is intuitive. Oh sure it makes sense once it is explained, but the curve is steep.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!
Ableton live is mostly intended to program performances. The Scenes are very important to that function and midi control is used for automation in scenes. You may be stuck in a default scene or performance mode.
take any part of your song in a regular daw where each part of a song is a collection of tracks aligned vertically like the verse which might be a marker label in the time line trk1 vocal trk2 guitar trk3 drums rotate them 90 degrees you have the session view of that part and you have a seen each seen is composed of a number of horizontal clips column1-audio column2-audio column3-midi seen = verse vocal guitar drums each of these columns and the seen itself can be triggered at will from your controler
there is not triditional timeline in the session view that's why there is an arrange view
more confused???
