Also, just because you play a certain genre of worship music that seems to be packed full of click and tracks doesn’t MEAN you have to play it like that! You can take a more artistic-creative and less produced approach, AND still perform the genre well!
You shouldn’t if… You don’t plan to implement tracks, timecoded video, or lighting. You don’t need it if most of your congregation started going to your church because they got tired of attending their bigger more complex churches and or megachurches. You don’t need them when you have a drummer with solid time keeping. You don’t need them when you don’t necessarily care about copying the original recording. Also, (shocking fact) you don’t need to use ALL the 21st century tech to do a contemporary worship service! 😀
I stopped using sends a whole back for a number of reasons 1. No ability to pre process 2. Random additional delay depending on project complexity, which could affect reverb timings etc 3. Did not carry over between projects 4. No way to have sends disabled by default. Changing the default settings for audio and midi channels ignores send settings
excellent! I contacted support quite some time ago about this bug and they acknowledged it and said they'd pass the info. along. Glad they addressed it! In the meantime, I did find a bit of a workaround. once you drag your song in and the send info is not there, just delete the group for all the stems and go back to the original and copy and then past the stem group into your setlist and the send info will all be there.
what is your thought on session view for work that is not backtrack centric? composing in session view is fun to me and i need minimal interaction with mouse and keyboard (i have a push). but i already noticed some limitations that are way easier to do in arrangement view. for example a drum fill before the downbeat. sure, it can be done, but in a rather complicated manner, especially if i want to play it in, rather than sequencing it.
No clip examples? No references shown? That is going to limit your views and channel growth as viewers like me who aren’t in the audio or band industry get bored quickly. Just some feedback bro.
When grouping the tracks for each song into a group and folding - does that not effect the sends for each track? I’m trying to understand why not as now I would think the groups audio would all be going to the same output? Or is that because we’re using sends only and return tracks now and it doesn’t effect those? Help understanding?
Hi, I am just getting into this and I appreciate all the work you put into your tutorials. They really help, getting everything set up. There is one question I have: I want to be able to insert a repeat track and still use the navigate buttons on my midi controller (which sends cc's not notes) to skip between sections and I have set that up correctly (cc#43 triggers the previous locator). Now I have trouble mapping a cc to the repeat track. I have done this successfully for the stop track, where somehow managed to create a mapping to the envelope to cc#42 (stop), but can't seem to do this for the repeat track, although I feel it's the same concept. Could you tell me what the process is, to get the mapping correct? (as I said, I did it once but don't know how ;)) cheers and thanks
Hey Will! Thanks for the video, as always super helpful. My band has been using Lightkey with ableton for about a year and it has been a great experience. Because our show has tracks and lights now, I figured it’s time to set up redundancy and getting a Playaudio 1U. Will our lights have redundancy with A and B computer set up? Or do I have to run lightkey on a separate Mac for that? Any help around this would be awesome. Thanks!
I Will. Me and a friend want to do collaborative work using two Macs with Ableton Live 12 simultaneously playing loops etc routing from one machine into the other and out into a system using AVIO adaptor. Looks like the latest Sonoma OS doesn't allow to create ad-hoc networks like old systems so using Link is not an option anymore. So we are asking ourselves if it's possible to connect using an ethernet cable to route one Ableton Live from one machine into the Ableton Live of the second machine and out to the main sound system. Any ideas? Thanks.
I've been using this function for years, but I've run into a dilemma I want to assign a note on my midi controller to stop ableton and I also want to have and IAC driver note do that same function. I'm not seeing a way to have multiple notes trigger the same function. They seem to overwrite each other. Is there a way I can accomplish this?
Hey Will, great Video, it answered a lot of questions I had. One, however, is still open: If you have more than one song in the arrangement view, how can you want make a break between the songs of an no defined length (for making announcements, cheering the crowd, etc.), how do you do that? Do you stop the playback and restart (Shift-Space) when starting the next song? If yes, do you stop manually or is there a way to do this automatically in Ableton? I was also thinking, maybe there is way to let the playback run into a loop (wich could also play some background music during the announcements) and end the loop with a key or a midi control to when the next song should start. Is there a way to do this? Thanks a lot
Thank you SO MUCH! At first it didn't worked but i rewatched and realized i wasn't setting the output to the IAC Driver. After that it worked perfectly! Such a simple thing and yet so useful!
Hey, great tutorial. I’m currently using the audio midi set up and connect ports from there. But I have to répète the process every time I disconnect the unit. Does making everything from auracle make the link permanent? Thank you
Hi, new to ableton. How do you add the MARKERS (Intro, Verse, Chorus etc...) I know how to add locators but the markers 'track' looks more aesthetically pleasing to me :) Thanks!!
Hi! Thank you for your videos. I' m continuing to struggling with a simple situation, but I don' t know where I get wrong. I use audient id24 as audio interface and I only want to use the ableton's metronome to listen the click only in the outputs 3-4 for a live performance. I follow all the instruction about routing the outputs and setting the audio interface's preferences. I can see from ableton and from the audient's software that the click (cue) is working only on the outputs 3-4, but I don't know why I continue to hear the click also from output 1-2. Can you help me about this? How can I fix it?
If I knew where the samples were, I wouldn't be here trying to find out how to find them. I hate that your tutorials are always the first to pop up when I have Ableton questions.
