FWIW, that's how I learned making music, just learning the commands and making things I like by ear. Though being a kid with no internet probably helped.
Oh my...this is hardly "making music". Is paint-by-numbers making art? I sure don't think so, so neither is this. What would have been way way better is a brief introduction to music keys, major and minor, then basic chords, then progressions, then melody, with each section having a few examples of each so that the person going through the article could have some understanding of how music is really made, and how mus…
An education for theory training does end up focused on note interval structures, and there's an endless amount to talk about there, but then, you don't need a great deal of traditional theory for simple songwriting - major and minor triads will suffice. This tutorial gets those but in my skimming of it seemed to stop short of trying to explain circle of fifths usage, which is probably the one most essential thing to make composition in the large go from "I have to guess and check" to "I have a guideline to work from that lets me calculate ahead."

It even has an advanced topics section with an intro to pentatonic and octatonic scales, triads and inversions; check it out in the menu.

Did you go past the first page? It does eventually start talking about scales etc.

I agree with you but I would put it differently. The notion that music is at all a grid is just ... not true. It’s true of a tiny subset of music. I use ableton (and grids) all the time but this way of thinking about “music” is just reinforcing a weird picture of what it is. Even scales and theory and even music notation enforce a confusing deconstruction of what music is. But it’s really hard to articulate this.

Hey pal, do follow the tutorial. Music keys, scales, chords + progressions, baselines, melodies, etc are all covered with examples and/or exercises. It's not as deep as a full music theory course but I don't think anyone is claiming this will get you a music major ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It even has an advanced topics section with an intro to pentatonic and octatonic scales, triads and inversions; check it out in the menu.
Thanks to all for the intense reprimands.
Ironically for the name, ableton turns out not to be accessible for the blind.
