[@SonicYogi]

You done amazing work here!! Thanks for sharing so generously

[@Ferrosounds]

I appreciate you sir for being an inspiration and your tutorials led me to learn ableton live fast and i have truly enjoyed the process. Blessings

This is BRILLIANT! Thanks so much Will

You're welcome-thanks for watching Kevin!

The send to return🤯 Thank you for this!!! I've messed up a couple song sets switching between 2 channels, 4 channels, 8 channel track rig, dante, etc... Especially when I need to edit. I may have shed a tear or two at the end of this... thanks again!

It’s a HUGE timesaver. One of my favorite hacks!

[@Prodbass]

I would love to see what a session looks like with multiple songs. And the process for copying and pasting additional songs in?

This is me building a set in real-time in less than 5 minutes kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWOWaWhoisl_a5Y and next week I build a set in real-time and explain how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpWcc32ggapkqqs

I have followed this process and have used the template for years now and I have had no stress. One of my mater sets have 70 songs in it.

Love this video! there isn’t a video you put out that doesn’t push me to ask myself, “how can I do what I’m doing better.” Fantastic! Love the audio routing tip on this one. This will definitely provide consistency with last minute changes and frustrations when going to different venues with different room acoustics. Thank you, Will

[@fromstudiotostage]

Thanks Matt! So glad to hear that's your response. I honestly do the same thing everytime I see a new approach or new software/hardware, I'm always asking-is there a better/easier/more flexible way. "Humbly Confident. Humbly Curious"

FWIW, you can also name the markers (from one marker to the next) by right-clicking on the first marker and clicking "Rename". Once set, save the entire template. Every time you load the template, those markers are baked in; just rename each as needed. 👍🏾 Keep up the great work. Hymn

Thanks for watching! The issue with locators is they don’t transfer between sets, which is why I use the markers track.

Thanks for watching!

Love the video! I’ve been using your routing outputs to Sends for the last year and a half now since I originally saw your video on it. I LOVE it. I noticed in this video you using a quick key to quickly turn up a specific track to send a 100%, instead of having to manually click and roll the cursor up. What is that command?

[@IglesiaEmmanuel-i5b]

I have a quick question. Sometimes we need to change the keys for the worship songs. Unfortunately the audio quality is degraded. I sometimes use a little bit of eq to make it sound a little bit better after I change the key. The question is how can I eq a group of tracks that are going to different return tracks. At the moment we are using 8 channels. I've tried placing an eq on the group but it does not affect the sound unless its going to the Master track. I cant figure out how to eq a group of tracks that are going to different return tracks. Let me know if you have found a way to do this. Appreciate all the help that you have given us.

Currently on DMXIS as VST with Live 10. Thinking about moving to EMU or something else as the DMXIS software is now unsupported and seems buggy.... unless you have a better suggestion. We control internally from MacBook at the drumset.

[@HectorHernandezM]

How suitable is for export to Akai Force? I m looking for playing multitrack and at the same time play instruments inside Akai Force with one midi keyboard live... Any advice?

[@ezraerasmus9757]

When saving the song after using the template as the basis and having imported all your stems do I really need all the other guides that I did not use in my project to remain in the folder? I'm asking because the project file does become a bit big. Is it possible to remove the guide cue wav files that I did not use?

[@kristywilke6685]

When I map my midi controller to more than one feature (repeat midi track on and off, guide toggle and also a slide toggle) I get audio stutters. If I only map to repeat section it works fine. Obviously cannot have audio stutters in live performance. I have played with every buffer setting and saved and re-saved (running 11.3.11) but I cannot make it work without stutters.

[@fromstudiotostage]

MIDI wouldn't cause audio drop-outs, sounds like something else is going on.

[@kristywilke6685]

I figured out the that when the IAC driver AND the controller were both set to Track and Remote for both input and output, it was creating that glitch

[@rianidola]

Hai will i have a question, if i use ableton click not the audio click, with this routing using send and return, i fell like a bit latency between ableton click and the track (what do you think?) sorry for my bad English

[@vandiepen421]

When I copied the formatted songs into the template, it reset the dials for the sends on each channel to zero. Did I miss something simple, or is this a glitch? I'm going to try doing a couple more songs tonight to see if I messed something up, but it's happened on multiple songs.

[@frankrizzo9318]

I also had this happen, did you ever find a fix?

[@OfficialEssenceMusic]

What do you do specifically to group the stems and tracks and have them as sends only so you avoid seeing all these tracks together in arrangement view?

[@fromstudiotostage]

check out my tracks template and/or course/tutorials I walk through exactly how I set it this way.
