If you plan on using Ableton Live on stage for stems, multitracks, or backing tracks, you'll want to load multiple songs into one Ableton Live Set for the best experience. To have access to all your songs from that set, and for the best transitions, you don't want to load indivual song files.
In this video, Ableton Live Certified Trainer, Will Doggett, shows you how to load multiple songs into one Ableton Live Set, so that you can have the best possible experience with tracks on stage.

Thanks for the info, but I did encounter a problem. I made a template as per your previous videos and them imported into this set. However none of my Send settings came over. What am I doing wrong?

This is the exact kind of video I needed YEARS ago. Great to see someone finally put it out there, albeit after I've already painfully figured out a lot of this on my own haha. I still pulled some great tips from this vid though, great stuff man.

@zachwalkermusic5256 19 часов назад

Do I need to set up 2 Click tracks in my template (one for 4/4 and one for 3/4) if I prefer a different balance of 4ths and 8ths on 3/4 and 4/4 times while using foundation? Putting them all on the same click track seems to make me use the same balance on every song which doesn't work when switching from 4 to 3 it sounds weird

@brocco6985 Год назад

Thank you for this great video! If you put for instance 5 songs like that and they each have their own sets of effects and plugins, wouldn't it be very high with cpu consumption ? Or do you automate their activation as the set goes further in time ? Thank you !

@fabioalferii 6 месяцев назад

Hi Will, thank you for your work! It's helping me a lot in learning ableton. A question about your 3-steps framework: with your method, if I have 25 songs to put in the live set and each song could have 10/15 stems, I will need from 250 to 375 tracks....Isn't it bad for computer performances or system stability?

@davidmilling5985 6 месяцев назад

Quick question, what’s the purpose of cutting Click, Tempo, Guide, Markers & Original Track and pasting it at the top? 8:23 I missed the explanation later on in the video.

@aaronhernandez8274 2 месяца назад

I just followed all of this video multiple times, and I can’t get everything to be dragged and dropped correctly. All my ProPresenter cues and markers become all wack and it makes it harder to realign everything. It’s not a drag and drop for me. How can I fix this?

@JamesBermingham Год назад

Say if you had 20 songs, I imagine you would use many many tracks. Would this not cripple the CPU?? Great videos by the way

@fabioalferii 5 месяцев назад

Hi Will, with this work method, what if I have,for example, 30 songs in a set and I need to turn of, example, bass? Do I need to get intorno each song group, search for the bass stem and mute it...any solution to this? Thank you!

@ThePainter1989 6 месяцев назад

Amazing! Just a few questions If you are putting your signature arrangement in the song template why do you need to re-do it in the set template? Does tempo changes from the song template paste to the set template - and if you need to move the song a few bars does it move the tempo (automation) with it? Can you paste the song to the same track as the previous song? So that you dont have them stepping down and taking up more tracks? Hope these questions make sense!

@wilkopiano Год назад

What about song structure positional parameter shortcuts for working in session mode only and scene launch dictating verse chorus shortcut tagging working diagonally on the grid with 64 midi only channel strips for live looping from nothing other than form of song and not linearly? Ableton Doesn’t seem to be designed that way. More of an excel spreadsheet where everyone is finishing their tracks as bounced audio only stems with linear motion only on 8 channel strips.

@philipsmyth2887 5 месяцев назад

Wouldn't buildinng tracks this way quickly max out abletons max tracks count for projects? 256 total so lets say you had a set of 25 songs. but your average tune had 12 stems. you could only get 21 songs in. That make sense?? Am I thinking of this correctly?

@JeremyPowerGuitar 2 месяца назад

Ableton Live 11, like Live 12, does not have a fixed maximum track count in either Arrangement View or Session View. The number of tracks you can use is determined by the performance capabilities of your computer. As you add more tracks, effects, and instruments, the load on your CPU and RAM increases. With sufficient computing power, you can create a large number of tracks, but performance may degrade if your system's resources are exceeded.

Hi Will - your set of videos on using Live for Backing Track is really fantastic. I have been struggling trying to do this on my own for some time and finally found your videos. Thanks a lot for the great work. Question: I'm nervous of having a computer crash during a live show and I have to ask why you haven't considered using a hardware/recorder/mixer for this job? Something like the Zoom Live 12/20 or the Tascam 12/16/24 units? Ableton is such an awesome DAW with all its instruments and effects but its set up and control requires a lot of time and equipment. I have everything I need to use Ableton8, SLMk II controller, X-Touch etc. but it's a lot of "stuff" to set up and connect when a multtitrack recorder can basically do the same job. Thanks

@sendforacar9323 Год назад

I think one key thing you are missing is the vocal cue of the song name for every song. Sometimes the wrong song can be cued, so the person cueing the track has time to kill it. Also maybe a band member gets lost and is unsure of the next song.

@fromstudiotostage Год назад

that's a great addition if you need it. Not a necessary but a great idea. I cover that in my guide cue video content

I have a lot of parts in some stems “deactivated” for when someone in the band is covering that part. Those seem to never line up. Sometimes the entire song is out of place. Do I need to consolidate all the stems that I have part deactivated? Anyone else have an issue like this?

@bobalee8194 2 года назад

Great video! Didn't see the use of key mapping location markers until you started dragging each song in and using those markers to quickly cut and paste tracks everywhere. One thing I'm super intrigued about now is the possibility to "train" Ableton to recall locators after transferring the song into the set, that's one thing even Clyphx cannot do, so I'm very curious how you do it.

Ableton by far is the industry standard for playback, so I would encourage you to go that way. There's other software that can playback audio, but Live is the only one that really lets you "perform" with pre-recorded audio.

@lucianovolador Год назад

I like so much your way to organice the stems and songs, but I have a little question, how do you process the mix of the songs in the projet for the live performance, with all that channels? I mean, when I used stems I always put a compressor for the bass with a sidechain from the kick, my question is, do you have to make a really great mix of the songs before you export the stems really? Thank you

I love this video. Showing how to perform in Ableton. I will def check out these other videos you mention about master set. I am truly shocked (and annoyed) at how few videos are on youtube about people using and explaining ableton live for LIVE. haha. such irony. I bought Ableton for performance. Yet, it seems the vast majority of Ableton users who make RU-vid videos all ramble on about how to use ableton live as a traditional DAW. Well, I got news for you, arguably Ableton aint the strongest kid on the block for traditional DAW composing. Its literally made for performance, yet so many RU-vidr's do not talk in this context. Thanks for this video, and the other you mention on your channel about performance. I will check them out

Wondering if this following set-up below is doable? Currently I play live shows in Session View. I have some pre-programmed drums, bass, etc. but I play and loop record live guitar parts, as well as doing some live piano and of course, live vocal. I like the layout you've set-up above (I've done it before in Apple's Mainstage, though it wasn't stable enough) but I'm wondering if there is a way to still live loop audio tracks while using the above layout you've shown? I have a Novation XL controller which means I can mute, solo, etc. channels live. Thanks :)

@thecallofthealley 8 месяцев назад

Great video but the problem with this method is that it won't import the tempo track in the midi clic!!! I tested it and in the song file the tempo has many changes, but when I drag the song set in the live set for the show, the tempo automation does not follow!! Imagine having to rebuild the tempo lines of 15 song, when most of them have many tempo change... It sounded like an amazing technic, but now I dont know how to go about. Dont know if I am just gonna waste my time and should just drag and drop every stems and import the tempo track in a full live set instead so at least I have my tempo tracks? Then I would lose time over routing. Or do this technic and reimport every clic track with the tempo because Ableton Live isn't capable to import the tempo from it's 'own' song files... Disturbing when you're relying on a software that's supposed to be pro, I would have thought they know what the hell they're doing. Another disturbing fact is, when you drag and drop your audio files, it does not copy them, it 'takes' them from the original location. I have never seen anything like that!! Logic copies them leaving intact the original files in their location. We spend so many hours to export stems so they are just right, when then Ableton delete them from their original location, as if we then have no more back up. I did have a back up luckily, but this is unthinkable. Thanks for your input....

Hey, thanks so far, it helped a lot. I have the situation that my band sometimes is not complete on stage. For instance my rhythmguitar is missing on one day. Usually I would mute him in the stems but since our set has 25+ Songs this is hard. Would you find the solution in routing? All the rhythmguitar on the same Output so you can simply mute it and all the bass, leadguitar etc on another output? Sorry if you mentioned this in the video, it was a lot of information and I don't recall it comming up.

I always suggest just leaving the tracks in your set and muting if you don't need it. That way it's always there and if you need it again you can un-mute.

@@fromstudiotostage OK so after using Session view for 20 yrs I decided to take the plunge and follow your workflow for building a setlist and using Arrangement view. I have to say that both views are not without their issues. In my opinion, Session view is WAY easier on the eyes in terms of simplicity. Arrangement view can look very overwhelming, especially if you add locators for all the sections of all the songs. Copying and pasting sections is WAY easier in Session View. With all that said, I think it's going to be better long term for us to use Arrangement view in terms of flexibility.

I'm new to Ableton and found this video while searching for best ways to implement Ableton for live performances. Very great content and presentation! A little overwhelming I must admit as I need to watch the other videos and continue learning the software to get more up to speed. I have what may be a beginner question based on my use case, and figured I would take a shot and pose it here in the comments. You mention configuring arrangement view based on live sets. I am a solo performer that is looking to use Ableton for backing tracks while I play other instruments and sing. My approach will be linear as there are clear parts and really no need to repeat sections. An example is I may want to play acoustic and sing on a song and have drums, electric, keyboards, backing vocals pre-recorded to launch and then another song maybe play keys via the midi controller (Novation Launchkey MK3) while singing and have guitar, drums, bass pre-recorded. My sets vary greatly based on the audience as I do covers in bars/restaurants, so I normally have my entire set list avail out of the gate in Forscore to choose from so if it's slow and a lot of people are eating I'll start more mellow, if people are already into the night or large party I'll get quicker into my upbeat selections. Given this use case, is arrangement view still the best option and how would you recommend dividing projects given my sets are put together on the fly?

@fromstudiotostage Год назад

Since you’re running tracks I would 100% use arrangement view. But don’t be afraid to repeat and have flexibility, just because it’s linear it doesn’t mean you’re locked in.

@michaelpearson9276 Год назад

@@fromstudiotostage Got it, thank you for the reply! Given my live sets are dynamic in nature, do you have a recommendation for the best way to organize this? I believe you mentioned having too many in a single live set file could negatively impact machine performance. I'assuming having a live set of 50-60 songs would not be stable depending on the computer, but if the cpu is able to handle it, is it feasible to work with that many markers? Thank you again for taking the time to reply and apologies if these questions are premature based on my level of knowledge of Ableton at this time.

You have no idea how this has cleared up things for me thank you! I am gonna watch some more videos of you as this is my first one but definitely leaning to becoming part of your community :). I have a question about this one; so I was wondering if you're able to trigger midi clips in your session view whilst having your "backing tracks" running in arrangement view? I'm guessing yes but just wanted to check. I have done a couple of giggs in arrangement view only while playing my piano and a looper but if want to be able to put live fx on my drums as wel with my akai apc mkII controller. This has been very inspirational, live setup can be daunting so seeing your passion through the screen is really comforting!

Very good explanation, thank you! I’ll use it for our band live set. We have enough time signature and tempo changes on the go. Especially I like several your tech, like stop clip, section making in clips, overall idea NOT to use session view as working area on stage, as well as your method of importing sets to final live set. We use behringer XR18 as our summing device. So I have a separate track with all XR automation. That’s why we don’t need separate each song to different return channels. I don’t use in live sets returns ch at all. We have external devices like outboard audio interfaces with iPad software simulation for guitar and bass. As well as guitar sim and MIDI JAM with soft synths inside Ableton. Everything has their own separate automation track. As well all drums come to mix from EZdrummer live drumming via midi from Roland V-set. Main advantage is absence of sound operator person and consistency of the sound picture from stage to stage. Let it be club, fest or rehearsal at home. I use cal mic and “tune” venue before show making EQ curve in XR18. Because we had good enough final mix at home, we have same sound on public side on live show. We keep calmly stage environment, coz in ear monitoring hardwired for absolute minimum delay. Just LR stereo cable to PA. Any PA).

Great setup! It could take months to figure all this out from scratch.

Excellent 3 part mini series, really helpful thanks. Can I ask when playing in a live situation with say 8 separate outputs going to the sound guy how would you normally route each output, for example, would it be 2 mono outs for drums and bass then 3 stereo outs for pads, noises etc.

@fromstudiotostage 2 года назад

Thanks for watching Dave! I need to do a follow up video on how I typically route. It all depends on the content. but I try to separate content tonally based on what would benefit the sound engineer the most. I'll include this in a future video-thanks for the idea!
