This is an awesome video. I also want to throw out there that for guitar players, you can also use the boss Rc-3 to load up your backing tracks on. I started doing this about a year ago and it is amazing for those who want full control out on stage. The pedal allows you to store up to 99 different tracks and you can switch between tracks with an external foot switch and you can run the tracks out to A DI and then to a mini mixer just like in this video. The key is that you don't have any inputs going into the pedal and you just run the pedal with an output to a DI and then to the board and this gives you a foot controller with all of you were stored backing tracks ready to use on stage

there's a similar app to sound cue called Prime. it allows you to run tracks and click and also mix them as well. it's the cheaper way to do clicks and separate tracks without ableton. it's free but I believe all the uploading has to be done through the cloud. I would use it for my stuff if I wasn't also using ableton to control lights to the click and tracks

Stephen, thanks so much for this video. 2 questions. 1) what exact splitter cable is that? (The one in the video) is it just the Live Wire cable? 2) when making the tracks in logic, do I basically just pan the click to the left and the rest of the track to the right and then export it? Or do I have to do something else after I export it? And also, if the backing track has multiple instruments/elements on it, do I need to get it professionally mixed so it sounds good through the venue's PA?
@Bobbroberg
@Bobbroberg 4 жыл бұрын
You need to make the click mono though which he forgot to mention. If it’s in stereo and you pan it left will just go to the left speaker. At least this is what I ran into a few years ago when I made my own. But I haven’t made any of my own in a long time because every else already has them and or I get them from karaoke-.version.com so it’s already mixed . No you don’t need it professionally mixed but if your making it yourself and you have multiple layers of instruments then your going to want to play around with levels . But other then that you can go to karaoke-version.com if your doing covers

You need to separate the click and the back track to different ways (Left and Right) thru the software that you use. For me, i put left channel with click and back track and the other channel only for back track (this channel will be the one that can be heard by the audience)

I always just ran full mix of the songs (minus the drums of course) and a click on the right channel and the backing tracks that are needed by the mains on the left. So basically, I am listening to a CD onstage. I'd love to try using the actual live monitor instead of recorded tracks. I just feel like most sound guys in the local scene cant figure out how to do something that's "Different" than their usual way.

Right. The problem I had was I wasn't really hearing the band so it was hard to truly connect with them. One of the other things I hated was having to count off every song. This isn't bad when the whole band comes in at once. But for songs that start with the vocals or the guitar, it seems awkward. But that is something I guess you have to do when the drummer is playing to a click no matter what. Unless of course everyone plays to a click in which case you can forego this.

So when you pan the backing tracks hard right and send it to the FOH does that mean its in mono? So when the feed comes back to you and out to the audience its only mono? If so, is it the regular way? Does it even matter if the audience or the band hears the backing tracks in mono or stereo? active or passive di box?

How about putting the track and the click into your mixer so you can have the click and track in your ears (you can control the level). Then send the track side to a send output on your mixer which then goes to the DI (I recommend you bring your own) and then into the stage boxes. Less for the sound man to deal with. Less that can go wrong.

Hi. I hope I'm not late for this answer. When you create your music in whatever daw you use (pro tools, Nuendo, Cubase, etc.), you just simply pan the click 100% to the left and the rest of the instruments 100% to the right (so that there is no "bleeding"). Then you choose export stereo interleaved and you are done. You now have a stereo file with click on one side and music on the other.

A real concern, yes ! I use Logic. It’s an additional step or two, but, you import a stereo or mono sound file and use “image” function and move it to 90 degree direction (Lor R) do the same with click (but opposite side) this way, you won’t lose any fidelity in a stereo file but just “bias” adjustment (and yes, I’ve had bled before also)

hi...I use audacity to put all my tracks there along with the click, then I make sure they are all in sync and I pan the click to the left and all the other tracks are panned right, then I export it as single MP3 to my desktop. When I check the new MP3, I see that its a stereo file with all tracks to the right and the click track to the left. Unfortunately, when I play the song out of my laptop to my mixer (using 1/8 cable from laptop split to (2) 1/4 males - which I put 1 plug into channel 1 on the mixer and the other plug into channel 2 of the mixer)...I then use the pan knobs on each channel and turn one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right....but I'm still getting a mix of both the click track and backing track....they are not separate tracks...I don't seem to get just click track on channel 1 and just backing tracks on channel 2?? . . . . any ideas?

Thomas Kuerlemann MP3 has "cross talk" between the channels. Just because of how they're designed. Run the tracks as a WAV file with the click on one side and the tracks on the other side.

Man, there's not really any except it's an easier interface to deal with on the gig. That's really all. You could run the same setup and just use iTunes playlists.

Wouldn't that make the backing tracks your sending to the audience mono? If you bounce 2 of the same backing track, one hard right and one hard left with the click, the audience would hear the whole track but not the panning effect done on the mix of the backing track. Wouldn't you want your audience to hear the stereo effect of the backing track?

Harrington airplane mode more or less turns off any function your phone operates that isn't hardwired in the phone. Phone calls, messages, internet. Anything that requires a signal of any kind is turned off. It's also a great way to play games and not get ads because the ads need internet service to come through lol

+SuperVistaprint If you are in a band or situation where you need to run a click track as well as pre-recorded backing tracks (which is very common in professional situations these days). The drummer is usually the one responsible for running the tracks, click, and counting the band in. This is a video geared more towards working drummers/musicians or drummers that are in a band that runs backing tracks. Hope that helps!

Hello, I don't understand something. Click track i understand but Backing track it's not clear for me. Is it what other musicians plays in live or is it your music ? If it's your track/music, it's not strange to play without earing other musicians ? (anyway thank you for your time and your useful videos !!)

Update: Gig yesterday. Soundcheck was alright, everything connected. First song: left channel and right channel suddenly reversed and click getting to FOH! Stranger thing is that it only took twisting the cable 180 degrees by the iPhone's headphone output to "switch" the channels again. Very strange. No explanation. Never trust Apple, in a nutshell.

I know it's been two years but I had the same issue and discovered that it is an apple soundcard issue. Exporting on an older apple computer will cause this issue. Newer ones have better soundcards and can export an actual hard pan.

@@alex-lk4gh Thanks for input Alex. I figured this issue out more than a year ago after experimenting with various DI boxes, cables and setups. It's the internal soundcard/connectors in the actual mobile phone. At times it just decides to let L go inte R, and sometimes not. It has nothing at all to do with the exported files, as they always were perfectly fine and hard panned in my case.

I don't understand why people are using backing tracks? Do bands not make their own music live anymore?? When I play gigs, our band plays the music as you hear it. 100% live. No backing tracks or anything like that. Not sure why most "professional" bands still require the help of backing tracks.

Good question. Oftentimes, it simply has to do with the economics of it. To bring 5 or 6 extra players on the road or to a gig to play those extra parts would be to expensive. Sometimes it has to do with the style of music...more electronic. Backing tracks and samples aren't a bad thing. They're part of the musical landscape now and when used correctly, can really add to the music I think
