[@LANDOYT]

Hey guys. Thanks for all the continued love on this. Means the world that some of you found some value in this content! New video dropped, go check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXa6mYybZ9x_mbcfeature=shared

[@LANDOYT]

Man the support on this video has been crazy to me. Nearly 4000 views??? This is a super small number to a lot but it is the most I have ever gotten on anything I have ever done so many thanks to everyone. I have been away for quite some time - I thought I was cool shooting this video with all the junk in the background and using my iphone as a camera and mic lol. I do hope you all will stay tuned for the future. Here super soon I got more content coming out about audio engineering/Live and other technology in worship/other tutorials people may ask for. To all that have liked and commented and subscribed and shared…. Thank you. I probably should have done this comment a while ago but anyways. Thanks again everyone and hang ten… I am working hard on new content.

Bro. You were talking DIRECTLY to me everytime you said, "Don't panic" or "Don't freak out". LOL. Wow. I really needed that.

[@LANDOYT]

Wish someone said that to me when i opened up Live for the 1st time ... something i always say is that The software is there to serve you you just have to know how to ask it to do something.

[@coreym917]

Man… this is THE BEST VIDEO EVER‼️‼️🤦🏾‍♂️ You’re saving my life‼️ Will definitely be coming back to watch MULTIPLE times and REFER people to it ‼️👏🏾👏🏾 GREAT JOB‼️‼️

[@MardocheeAssouan-fj6uu]

How to route our set list when using a 4 input audio interface please ??

[@LANDOYT]

@@MardocheeAssouan-fj6uu Go to Ableton’s preferences, set Audio Output device to your interface. Go to Output Config to label them. Set the output of all tracks in Ableton to Ext. Out, and under that you should see the 4 available outputs. Route your tracks accordingly

[@Gannaee]

[@michaeljoseph2620]

He says which version of Ableton at 38:07. You should be able to MD with your tracks for only the $100 version of Ableton.

[@LANDOYT]

This is true! You can start with Live intro - but do know that there's a limit of 16 audio/MIDI tracks. There's some great workarounds to this though so no need to feel pressured to jump to Standard!

[@gershmusic]

In fact I needed someone to explain things to me and guess what you did answer all my questions about Ableton and on top of that you really enlightened me on some advance stuffs. God bless you. You are the best 🙌🙌🙌

[@LANDOYT]

That is great to hear. Many thanks to you for watching and stay tuned! Got some more content rolling out here soon and I hope to reach and help even more people

Bro, Thank You!

[@LANDOYT]

many thanks to you for watching.

[@rhondaperrymusic]

Thank you for your video. When a piano player is playing, how will they remember where to go in a song if they are trying to keep up with the track and the singer and there are so many locators?

[@LANDOYT]

You are welcome for this video ... got a new one posted now ! Anyways to answer your question; that is where using a "Guide" or "cues" track comes in. If you purchased a session from a site like multitracks.com it will always come with a guide that tells you what section of the song is coming up a full measure before it happens. This along with the click track should be routed to inears only of course. This will help everyone to stay on track to what the arrangement of the song is and also count everyone into the song (no more drummers clicking sticks to start the song off). Also if you are creating your own stems you can head to multitracks.com/free and download there guide audio files for free! and drop those into the session where you are creating your own tracks. Back when i had to play the drums for my church guides saved me sooo many times cause my mind was consumed with being a tech director. Trust me they help !

[@rhondaperrymusic]

@@LANDOYT Thanks!

[@dcgaming6898]

this was so helpful, now just need a songleader that knows how to stay on tempo lol.

[@LANDOYT]

That’ll come. Practice makes progress 🤟🏾

[@Zesuri]

Bro thank you so much for the Video. Can you make a video on how to use arrangement view and if we wanted to use the default click instead of the clicks that come with the tracks and how to put that thru the channels to make it come out of the house?

[@LANDOYT]

Wonderful idea; those are definitely on the list. Do me a favor & stay tuned. More content coming very soon we are hard at work.

[@Zesuri]

[@calebailes4584]

Love this! only issue I am having is my markers track and saving the actual song project. I cannot copy and paste my markers like you did at round 34:00. And when I saved my song project and tried to drag and drop into a new session, it was quieter, and my tempos got jacked up. How do I copy and paste my markers like you did and how do I save the song?

[@LANDOYT]

Hate to hear that man ! It is possible you overlooked the warping in some or all of your tracks in the new session ? Sometimes Live will sneak up on you in that way & you must make sure to disable Warp if you dont need it. Also make sure the global tempo is set to what you need it to be for that song. About the markers you have to make sure you are pasting from a MIDI track in the old session to a MIDI track in the new session. Make sure you have an empty MIDI track to paste the markers onto and click the first measure inside the actual clip area - i know this sounds weird and complicated but I actually have a new ableton video dropping in just a little bit. Going into depth about how to program and build up worship sets

[@1CeddyCrockerBeatz]

Will Ableton live lite be able to handle this or would I need an unlimited amount of tracks for a live situation?

[@LANDOYT]

Very sorry I missed this. Live Lite absolutely can. 8 tracks max on that I believe. Do it like this: If you got a song that has like 20 tracks. Import all the guitars and bounce it down to one stereo file. Same with keys. BGVs & loops. Easy way to have enough for Click, count/guide, all your tracks & maybe even some MIDI commands

[@wal7710]

Such a really good video! Thanks for this. I have found that when warping, I choose complex pro and then change the formants and the envelope to 0.00 and 8 respectively and that warps them flawlessly. Whenever I have done it in a different warp function sometimes pads and synths tend to sound wonky with all of the effects and can add an “out of tune” feel to them. I might try out tones to see the difference.

[@LANDOYT]

I find that complex pro fixes most of the issues altogether. My only thing is it ramps up CPU usage & last thing we need is tracks cutting in & out live.

[@angeloparker1356]

Thanks for this video. We are low on instrumentation. Two questions. 1. How do i use a petal to control my cues (if I’m saying that right…). 2. Can I make up my own tracks instead of purchasing tracks? Thanks for your help.

[@LANDOYT]

Yo! No problem! I feel that; the churches I integrate for are as well. 1- Check out the LOOPTIMUS pedal by loop community. Or really just google “MIDI foot controller”. Most have a USB output that can connect to a computer or iPad and you can use that to map to functions in live like advancing locators and toggling click. 2- absolutely. My church did this when we 1st started. If you have a DAW like Logic Pro X or Pro Tools & have access to software instruments then you can create your own tracks and drop them as stems right into Live.

[@Musicman.001]

How does the link look too download

[@jonathanhunter1219]

can you set up sounds to increase in volume with slides? I have the M-audio pro 61 and I want to be able to use it in worship settings along with the sliders to fade in sounds… can someone let me know.

[@LANDOYT]

Absolutely you can. MIDI map (Cmd or Ctrl+M) your sliders in your midi controller to the volume of the track(s) you want to do this with and it should work perfectly fine. Just make sure to configure your midi controller in Live's preferences first

[@danielsummerville5805]

What if the singer wants us to speed a song up/down? How do we do that?

[@danielsummerville5805]

More specifically, after you've already built a set?

[@LANDOYT]

@@danielsummerville5805Hate that I missed this. Hopefully they’ll communicate this before service begins. Make sure that “Warp” is activated on your stems and then simply change the tempo of your tempo track, then click “Lead/Follow” twice to take the new tempo. If they unfortunately decide this in the middle of service… space bar and try again on the next song ha.

[@JosephSmith-ri5bx]

Is there a reason why my click track is in sync with my song but when I try to automate the ableton’s metronome instead, the metronome is off tempo? I have my bpm set at the top left but for some reason ableton’s metronome is still not in sync .

[@LANDOYT]

Make sure that the dot on the corner of the master tempo is red meaning automation is active! Do this by right clicking the tempo and pressing re-enable automation. Also if you are using a click track file within your tracks, make sure its seg. BPM is locked into the original and warp is on.

[@michaeljoseph2620]

What version of Ableton do you use to be able to accomplish this?

[@LANDOYT]

Any version! Intro, Standard or Suite will accomplish this. Only thing to keep in mind is the track limit in the Intro version. No more than sixteen audio tracks so if you go that route, you may have to consolidate!

[@tonylancer7367]

The one thing that "bothers" me about tracks is vamping or repetition. From the video I can hear that someone else runs tracks for you, so how do you handle if the worship leader asks to repeat a certain verse or chorus, or have a worship moment?

[@LANDOYT]

Whoever runs tracks- be it a person onstage or a dedicated playback engineer- they should be tuned in to visual and auditory cues from the person leading. Also have your session setup to where you can make live changes quickly with the press of one command. While it is not possible for everyone having a dedicated playback engineer is the ideal situation as they can focus completely on manning tracks without having to worry about playing an instrument.

[@incmobi1]

how did u drop in the marker track and where did u get it from? thanks

[@LANDOYT]

Creating a markers track is as simple as creating a MIDI track (Cmd+Shift+T) and stretch its clip out to last your whole song. If you are in Live 10 or 11 all you have to do is double click an empty part in the arrangement within the markers track’s area. Otherwise press Create and then Empty MIDI region. -Then split that same clip into every section of the song. This is why I prefer to already have locators down before I do markers tracks. This way you can just click the position of the locator (make sure your markers track is flashing blue and white) and press Cmd+E at every locator. -If you do this correctly then you should have multiple clips within the markers track and each should last as long as the two locators between it. -From there just rename the markers track to the section it is located in. For example; 9 times out of 10 the first clip in the markers track will say “Count Off” then the next one will say “Intro”. Hope that makes sense.

[@tyrellrobertson2129]

Does your church pay for the tracks or do you?

[@LANDOYT]

Depends on use. If it is a song the worship band at church is singing then the church pays for it. If it is just a session that I want to deconstruct and just listen to - which I do often - then I will pay for it.

[@Tsietsithelele]

Hey Landon, Tell me can I use Ableton live lite with the limitation of 8 audio tracks? Can't I do maybe four songs for example but use the same tracks for all the different songs and just do automate the tempo and time signature changes on the master

[@LANDOYT]

Yes you can. we did this for a while before upgrading to Live Standard. Live intro is a little limiting and hinders the workflow for things like automation of lyrics and lighting however but if you arent into that you should be good. Try & get standard as soon as possible though it will make all the difference in your workflow

[@Tsietsithelele]

@@LANDOYT Thank you very much, really appreciate it

[@reginalddunn5150]

Nice vid, bro! Thanks for the enlightenment. Quick question: how do you recover when the worship leader doesn't cue a part in enough time for you to trigger the right loop? (In other words, s/he doesn't say to repeat the verse, so you accidentally end up on the chorus while the leader is repeating the verse.)

[@LANDOYT]

Many thanks! All that you can do is cut it and pick it back up on the next section. This happened to us a few times this last sunday actually. However if its a song like when you walk into the room where it sounds the same for the whole song then just let it run til you get back to the right section.

[@LANDOYT]

Also when I program I like to have a key set to solo click track and only percussion tracks when things get weird. I will come out with a walkthrough of how I build my ableton live sessions in a little bit. Its one of my favorite weekly routines even though its a lot of work & takes precision and time.
