🔊 LEARN ABLETON WITH ME: Via my Ableton Online Courses - https://seedtostage.com/🙏 SUPPORT: If you want to support the channel, consider following my music...
As mentioned above, you don't really need to buy any additional samples. However, if you want some premade drum sounds or need to acquire licensed samples for a project, here are some options.
I'd advise watching videos / researching anything you are thinking about buying, as it is likely that there is something similar that is free.
Note: Many companies consistently go on sale for 50% off or more (iZotope). I'd advise making a list of plugins you want and waiting for a sale - some sites also offer educational discounts. Try asking!
Also, if you buy Waves plugins, you are probably going to will regret it.

Some people swear by finding a tutor you like, and paying for a pre-recorded course or lessons. These can get very expensive (see Berklee classes), but if you find one that seems like a good fit for you, it might be worth it.
These are good... allegedly. Presumably also dated.

These channels may feature some Ableton Live tutorials, but are not primarily focused on them. Some may feature music theory, generalized production advice applicable to any DAW, synthesizers and other interesting hardware, or other music related topics.

Recommended free sample players and plugin hosts. Some of these are needed to play the sample libraries listed below.
Most of the samples you need can likely be recorded yourself, or are already available in Live.
Maintaining a large sample library can take a lot of work, so I would recommend only downloading samples you know you will use. I would also recommend organizing your samples into folders by type (e.g. kicks, snares, hats, etc.).
When using samples that aren't included in Live, using the 'Collect All and Save' feature is generally a good idea so you don't misplace project files.
You should always check the license of any sample library you use in your productions. Some of the libraries listed below may not be licensed for commercial use. If you are unsure, contact the creator of the library.
You don't need to buy plugins to make good music - the stock plugins in Live are more than enough. If you get into plugins, you might develop a problem, spend tons of money, and spend all your time managing files. But if you want to get plugins, here are some places to look. Note - M4L devices require Live Suite.
Always ensure compatibility with your DAW and operating system version before purchasing plugins. M4L devices require Live Suite - some require version 11.
Plugins in the right folder but aren't appearing in Live?

Classic free learning resource. Some of these channels also have private sites and offer paid courses.
Most tutors only offer paid courses, but some offer free content on their websites and YouTube channels. I will also include a list of paid resources at the end of this post should you insist on going that route.

This is a collection of resources for Ableton Live / Push / what have you. Based on learning resource threads on Reddit - but in the spirit of Lemmy, focused on free resources. (Yes, I realize Ableton Live isn't free, but the resources can be! 🙂) There will be a section of recommended paid resources at the end should you want to spend money.
When I started this list, I was planning on more or less doing a copy / paste from the Reddit version - however, I ended up doing a bit of a rework... it took longer than I'd care to admit.
Please let me know if you'd like to recommend any updates - maybe I missed something, or maybe I've accidentally included someone who has done something terrible (or is just a bad teacher).
There is an edit button, so I'm open to suggestions.
Hopefully this is helpful to someone!
