YouTube is awash with tutorials on Live.

[Putting on my stern face]
This question, and variations thereof, come up all too often.

Music is an art, and you cannot teach art in a series of short comments on a forum.
The only way to learn is to regularly read appropriate magazines (Computer Music and Sound On Sound come to mind, listen, and I mean really listen to all kinds of music (to get an idea of composition/structure) and on all kinds of systems (to get an idea of how music sounds).
While doing this, practise, practise, practise.
If what you're coming up with is sh*te, delete it and start again.
Don't get discouraged if no one likes your music - one man's heavenly harmony is another man's devilish discord.
Try out the techniques described in the mags, and try to understand the why's and wherefore's.
Don't get all anal about the perfect kick drum - your listeners won't give a sh*t.
And, unless you've got bags of real talent, don't expect to learn everything in 2 weeks - I'm a hobbyist, but I've been making music (that's what I call it!) since 1969, and I'm still learning!

The number on rule is DON'T SPEND A LOT OF MONEY! At least, not until you know what you're doing. Ableton (full version?) should have everything you need.

[Stern face off]
OK, now someone else can chip in with some practical advice!

Good luck!

a beginner, good! if you can keep beginning throughout your entire practice, at least you're moving

constantly beginning is a good way to avoid doing the same thing twice.

IMHO the best way to improve is to find other (better) musicians to jam with, and learn from. Personal experience is a much better teacher than forums & youtube.
