You nailed the 3 reasons not to use Multitracks. Especially #3.

[@pearlygatesuk]

I’ll give another “for” as well. If you’re a WL with an instrument, vocal cues stop you needing to rock your head back and forth, stand on one leg, wink at the drummer (thats wrong in any scenario) just so you know where to go in a song

[@jacksonking326]

I’m a young musician and I lead a youth band in my church. There’s not a lot of youth band content and I would love to see some on your channel. Btw you guys are amazing and do a great job!

[@westdccs]

I've just introduced tracks to my student band. They loved it, but they also learned how difficult it can be to play along with them. I created the multi-track myself with my home recording software, so this was an advantage in that I added only the instrumentation they need (i.e. I have bass, drums, piano, acoustic, electric, and plenty of vocalists). However, the students don't have a good synth that produces a good pad sound, so I added a couple of layers of pads. The drummer I have is getting better, but as a student he's still learning -- so I added in a couple of frame drums and synthesized drum loops to make his sound bigger than he's capable. Also, since our vocalists don't have an in-ear system, I added a couple of synths with arpeggiated chords to help them keep the tempo. Again, they loved it and it really helped them -- but like you said, it is easy to forget where you are and that's what happened in rehearsal several times, so we're going to try again in a couple of weeks.

We use multitracks at my church, and as "Worship Tutorials" said, there are pros and cons. I love the "guide voice" that lets me know what's coming next, the Chorus or verse 2, etc. We already played to a click prior to using tracks, so we were already used to keeping time. I think there is a learning curve on how much to use on each song. My preference is to keep it minimal, but use the extra stuff that would be hard unless you had 2-3 keyboard players or things like that. Good presentation @Worship Tutorials.

[@pv5150man]

You guys nailed it again!!!! Weve used them for some time now and I teetered on the edge of how much and what. Our Worship arts pastor and I have talked many times about this ... He allows me to pick which guitar parts to mute and which to leave in or dial back. When I know that many songs have layers of stems for guitar and realize “I cant do it all” and then its an easy decision to leave in some to beef up the song and give it more presence and texture . Ableton now runs alot of our production and using tracks is a natural fit. Mind you... if you pick a part and mute the stem. YOU BETTER NAIL IT!!! 😂😂.

[@rata1983]

Great stuff as always guys

[@nathanielkeane8462]

I’m not a big fan of stuff that’s not on the stage live being played through the speakers, I feel that we have enough musicians to cover a full sound (keys/synth, 2EG, 1AG, Bass, Drums/Perc). That being said there is no excuse ever to not at least play to a metronome. We also use the guides so we are all heading the same direction, then just let the click continue for the spontaneous stuff. Best of both worlds imho.

[@kentregier5260]

Our church is small and we have very few musicians. I record and build all my own multi tracks, and then we play acoustic guitar and piano and vocals live. It works great for us! Why have a small sounding worship experience when I have the ability to make it so much more impactful by using the skills God gave us?

[@fret2fret221]

We use multi tracks in our services. It changed my life. For real. I love it. I was apprehensive about it. But now I can’t see it any other way! Lol thanks guys!

[@fret2fret221]

I was laughing so hard at

[@MrGtrstitch]

Multitracks and click tracks have been amazing! But with a lot of this, human error can and does happen. We were getting ready to play Do It Again, and the wrong click track started playing - about 1/3 slower (or more) than the song. We didn't notice until halfway through the first verse but by then...too late! 😅

[@lambdaXpression]

Click tracks and section cues are great. I'm not a fan of backing tracks though. Just tends to change the whole thing from worship to Karaoke...

[@dainswanson527]

Great video, looking forward to part 2. Question: we have been using stems from both LoopCommunity and Multitracks in worship for a while. But a big change is coming as we are starting to Livestream in a few months and I have seen there may be issues with copyright depending if the stems are master tracks or not. Anyone had experience with this or have any problems using them over Livestream?

[@jarofkla]

You could also listen to the worship leader as you are playing.

[@Noneofurbusinesseh]

We do use a click, but I can also remember when a band practiced for hours a day and played by feeling and groove. I have played with some musicians with “perfect time” and no groove, As well, I have played with groovers whose time is not the greatest, use what is right for you. i have the click off in my ears unless i am starting a song.

[@lunarlabaudio]

I think Brian Wahl needs to be the cue voice on

[@danielcuster384]

Click tracks really do instantly make the band better. No joke. You may not like the first time you try it, but give it a few go's and see the instant difference it makes once it's not messing you up, it will actually make you better.

[@Anonymous99997]

On many songs we use the Multitracks, but on ALL songs we use the click track.

[@dmarks4512]

Hi guys, quick question. We are a very small church. All we want to do is play songs and have the lyrics scroll on the tv monitors. Everything is already set up for this, however, I need to know which multitrack product to purchase. Can you help?
