ABSTRACT
So, you’ve installed and authorized Live 9 and now you’re wondering how to get started. Whether or not you have experience with a sequencer or a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), sometimes you just don’t have the time to dig in and read the entire manual cover to cover. For that reason, this Scene is a quick start guide to get you into Live in the least amount of time possible. It underlines the general concepts without too much theoretical and technical jargon. When you are done with this Scene you will be able to execute the basic functions of Live with a general understanding of how it works. You won’t always know how or why something does what it does, but that’s ok. The goal here is to build a foundation that you can rely on later while saving you time now. If you feel like you still need more help as you’re reading, then be sure to launch to the various locations highlighted within this Scene. There you will find dedicated and in-depth information pertaining to each topic. You can also take a look at the interactive Live Lessons that come pre-installed with Live. Lessons can be found in Help View located on the right-hand side of your Live Set. If it’s hidden from view, select Help View from the View Menu or drag it open with your mouse from the right edge of the main Live screen.
