Live BACKING TRACKS App - Multitracker Overview (Multi-Track-Outputs)

[@MladenDragovicMusic]

Just wanted to say that this is one of the rare no bs tutorial on ANY subject. Thank you!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks 🤘

[@OrbisonTributeArtist]

My Duo has used this app for a few years. It is just so simple to use, and allows our sound engineer to mix the tracks perfectly. I highly recommend it. Used to we ran the tracks without mixing them...having the ability to mix the tracks individually makes a huge difference in our sound. Great video, Scott...thanks man!

[@CluelessGent]

If you ever decide to give up gigging, you should become an instructor of something. Your instructions are very understandable.

The timing of this video has been unreal! Just coming over from the old school method of Click and mono track to 4 separate outs! Literally just finished sorting them all on logic and about to set up the iPad! This video came up trumps! Thank you man!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Awesome! 🤘🤘

[@barrymanilowswardrobe80sba51]

Our band has been using the multitracker app for two years now and we’ve never had a problem at one of our live shows. We use the midi feature to control our light show and make program changes in our guitar and electric drum rigs I heard you mention in another video you were going to do a review of this app and I’m very thankful that you did, it’s a really robust app and has enough features for all of our live needs We run it through an audio interface with 4 outs: 1) cues to band IEMS 2) click to band IEMs 3) backing tracks to front of house 4) special cues just for the drummer

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Awesome! Yeah it’s a great app!

[@artguitar2002]

That is great! How do control the lights and guitar patches???

[@Riffman42]

@@artguitar2002 Multitracker can run a midi track along with stems. So an easy way to control lights is if you have an old Chauvet 40 or something with a midi in, you can send it program changes from the midi track. Set up the midi track in your daw along side of your stems. You can even then use a midi keyboard to program your lightshow by recording the track live while hooked up to your lights.

[@drumdoug8083]

Thank you so much for all of these videos. I am a drummer that has been using a metronome with my IEMs for awhile now. My band is now getting some attention and the more I look around, I see plenty of other bands using these types of tracks and honestly this will solve some of the problems of my occasional forgetfulness on stage. I will now be diving in head first as we are starting to play our originals every gig now, so I will be starting with those songs. Content like this is why I love KZbin. Just a wealth of information at your fingertips. Kudos to you Scott!

[@TheModernGentlemen]

Thank you for this video. It’s super helpful! For bands like ourselves that travel a lot on airplanes, what do you suggest as an alternative to the Behringer x-ray 18? We are a vocal quartet and we have horns as well that we sometimes like to track in addition to sweeteners and everything else on this video. Guessing we might need a minimum of 6 to 8 outputs for tracks. We are still learning so don’t know much yet. Thanks.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! And that should be a USB C connection

[@SachaHeck]

Very good tutorial thanks, got me up and running. I have the same problem that I cannot hear anything like you say in around minute 6. I'm using iConnectivity Audio4c and wondering what mixer app I should use? On Mac they say to use Auracle X and this works fine but on iPad?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I’m not sure tbh, you’ll have to problem solve to see why. Replacing cables, closing the app, diving into menus is the best place to start

[@SachaHeck]

@@ScottUhlMusic Yeah actually I think the problem is me understanding he mixer app. Now using Reconfig Audio but it's weird ;-)

[@adamgleason6392]

As always, you killed it with this tutorial! My band uses backing tracks and I've been trying various options. This one seems to be the best so far. I change snapshots on my Helix anywhere from 20-30+ times a song, so having a device that can send MIDI is crucial. We're always changing up the filler sound clips that we use between songs from set to set. Being able to create the MIDI file, move it in coordination with the backing tracks in Logic, then load them both into Multitracker saves me a lot of time. Alternatively, for every set alteration I would have to load the songs into StageTraxx then go through the lyric sheet to meticulously adjust the timing for each snapshot change. The only thing is that there seems to be a little bit of lag with the MIDI commands once they're in Multitracker. If I move the MIDI region 200 ticks ahead (to the left) in Logic before exporting and set the latency in Multitracker to 30ms (max setting), it seems to line things up - at least for the 2 songs I've tested so far at 175 and 162.4 BPM. I really appreciate you sharing your wealth of knowledge! I've been using techniques from a lot of these videos to achieve levels of enjoyment with my music projects that I never thought were attainable. Thank you!

[@midimike88]

Great video; thanks for posting. Question, I use Mainstage for synths, can Multitracker recall files from MIDI SongSelect? So that I can have Mainstage call up the various multi-project?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I believe so, yes. Anything that receives midi commands can be controlled by MultiTracker since it has midi files available

[@timomeinen-softwarepilot6372]

Thank you for that video. I was not aware the iPad can control multi track audio interfaces. Is it possible to record multi tracks with the iPad from the XR18?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

[@sbrave]

A little confused as far as mixing levels from the XR18. Do you do it in the XR iPad app or in the Multitracker app, or both? Seems like you still need the mixing app, either the one you're using or the XAir app, in addition to the Multitracker app....?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

You can do it in either. You don’t have to use the xr18, you could get something like an interface like Track Rig and use it that way. This was just a way to demo it for KZbin. Any digital mixer, you’ll need an iPad or app to mix with it. But you can set this up in multiple ways.

[@sbrave]

@@ScottUhlMusic OK cool, thx! I thought since Multitracker can't flip the XR18's inputs to USB, you'd still need the XAir app to do that. I think for starters, I'm going to use my 2 output Mbox Mini (USB), and just have the mono music mix & click tracks/cues on separate channels, and work my way up from there, but this app looks rad! Thanks for the tip on that karaoke site for the tracks as well!

This is more about the XR18 than about the iPad app but I have 2 questions about this: Does it work to mix the main outs like you would an Aux? Say mix 6 tracks out to individual Aux's and mix ears to the two mains? And do you know if you could use MainStage for tracks like you do with the iPad app? Thanks!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

You cannot split the left and right of the main out, but you can get a stereo out to a musician for an IEM mix if you are not running FOH sound. And I’m not familiar enough with MainStage, I use logic, ableton, stage traxx 3 and b beat personally

[@andrewblawson]

Thanks for showing us this app. Relying on the connection from an ipad headphone out makes me nervous. Do you secure it with tape or something to ensure the connection?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yeah that’s always a problem for sure. Recently I did a gig where the cable came slightly out. I caught it during sound check and fixed it and it was fine all night. It does make me nervous though. But we do it almost all the time and it’s been fine in another band. I didn’t know if it was the headphone Jack or the cable. So I always have a spare of both.

I'm not comfortable with Bluetooth reliability for MTC with a show and was thinking about just recording an LTC track as one of my backing tracks and sending the timecode to the control room via regular analogue audio sends. Is Bluetooth the only avenue to get a midi send from your iPad/XR18 setup? Thanks again.

Hey Scott! Hello from South Africa. If you had to plug this app via USB into a Helix or Quad Cortex, would it also show you the output options like with the X-Air? I am routing for the Quad Cortex. When I play solo, everything you explained here and on your other videos will work for me without having to take a mixer with. When I play with the band, I do take a mixer with. With this, I would like to run a stereo backing track, a seperate click, and send midi changes from the app to my Quad Cortex. The outputs from my Quad Cortex would then be Stereo Track (or track L/R), a click, 1 vocal, and stereo guitar. 6 outputs total. My mixer is the Soundcraft ui16 if that matters. Will all this be possible? I hope this makes sense?

Hi Scott! Great videos! Our wedding band moved to Multitracker a few months back from Sound Cue. Really love the options it opens up. I was wanting to try adding some MIDI controlled elements to our set; Lights and HX Stomp switching. Is it possible to do both with the app or is it one or the other? Wasn't sure how many MIDI tracks you can load into the App? We don't use tracks for every song so I still would like the ability to control the lights for non tracked songs. Guessing this is possible depending on what controller I have? Currently using the Stairville DMX Joker which I believe I cannot use MIDI with so would need to upgrade to use Multitracker. Any help would be much appreciated and keep the great videos coming :) All the best!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yup you can send midi to control both! If you don’t play to a track or click you will just have to trigger the lights yourself 👍

[@MarcusBrown-n9n]

can you send midi out of the Xr18 to control a Helix from the ipad or is the bluetooth device needed?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I don’t believe the xr18 sends midi out to control the helix. But you can use an ipad to send midi to control helix: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXSopaR-eMtrl6csi=9l1AmYNMGhTT5QME

[@kantosina9962]

Thanks for posting! Gonna try this app out. On a side note, if I wanted to send click + backing tracks playing from the iPad with a 3.5mm/xlr or 1/4 inch split for click panned L and backing tracks panned R to in-ears and FOH, would you plug into the Stage Snake Splitter and split the signal to the mixer and send the backing track tail to FOH? The signal flow of all these different cables for am in ear rig hurts my head 🤣

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! And check out this video and it might help you out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joLNd5uhhrmJhpo

[@mikepettigrew8748]

Will this work with Apple Music? Wonder if it’s possible to play the song track through multitracker and put it through IEM Aux 1?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

What do you mean “with Apple Music”?

[@donnacompton4894]

Thanks, Scott! Really good! Where did you get your separated tracks to begin with?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Thanks! And those were from www.karaoke-version.com/

[@donnacompton4894]

Would it also work with Moises?

[@wattage2007]

I love that app. Totally bulletproof, the only issue I’ve ever seen with it was down to a faulty lightning to USB-B cable.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yeah, and cables can malfunction any time, so always have a spare!

very informative. Thanks

[@hazmatforhumanity7318]

This video is extremely helpful. One questions and maybe I'm just missing something you already went over. If I want the backing track to be stereo output to the house and split both left and right for monitors, how is that wired up?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I’m not understanding your routing, can you elaborate?

[@hazmatforhumanity7318]

@@ScottUhlMusic I haven't routed anything quite yet and just doing preliminary research. So my question would be, I would have my split signal, backing track on one side and click on the other, but when sending the back track out, how can I be sure it sends out to the house in stereo rather than not being hard panned to the left as it is in my monitors? Sorry I am new at this

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Ah, I understand. That should not happen. If it does, watch this video. It’s the same idea, I just go over if that happens with earbuds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaHZnImog7anrqM

Hi Scoot, I bought a USB-C to P2 adapter to use with my IPad Pro but I connect to my mix and don’t work! If I plug my headphones works perfectly! Do you know why I’m having this issue? Best regards

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Interesting… no I don’t know

[@cathykozickio284]

Can I send the multitracker to a audio interface and out to a mixing console if I do r have the behringer.

[@CaptainSweat]

But...does the XR18 charge the iPad? Doesn't seem to be the case - so I would rather go for a Lightning to USB connector and connect the iPad via a regular USB (printer) cable. These connectors also have an input for a Lightning charger!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Correct, the mixer will not charge the iPad

[@mortonstromgal]

Maybe I missed it but I assume that if your using the usb connector with multi tracks you can also use some number of unused channels with actual mics and such? Is that correct or am I wrong?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I don’t think I’m understanding your question. But if you go usb audio into something like the behringer xr18 mixer, you assign which inputs you want to be usb and which ones you want to be the analog input

[@mortonstromgal]

@@ScottUhlMusic I think you answered it! That was basicly it, how can i get the backing tracks and the band in the in ears without convoluted extra hardware.

[@Peaceful_Days]

I've just researched, digital mixers cost a lot of money. Is there a way to do it on a budget? Regular audio interfaces are a lot cheaper.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I’m working on a video about doing it on a budget. You only need the digital mixer for using it with in ear monitors though. This method works with an audio interface as well. If you just need backing tracks, yes go with an interface

[@leonardovmusic]

Hey man great video. Greetings from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Thank you!

[@PatAutrey]

What format do you have for multi-channel backing tracks is that MIDI only?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I’m not sure I understand the question…

[@gregs6424]

So at 8:38 where you have multiple MP3 tracks, are those separate MP3 bounces from Logic? Or did you import a Logic project, and it automatically separates the tracks as MP3s?

[@ScottUhlMusic]

I exported separate stems from logic or karaoke version 👍

[@gregs6424]

@@ScottUhlMusic I See you're using older generation iPads as well, as they have the headphone jacks. Is this to avoid having to use the headphone jack adapter with newer iPads?

Yup 👍 It’s annoying they removed the headphone Jack, but that’s something we do have to adapt to (pun intended 😊)

can this device be connect the ipad to play multi-tracks, as well as connecting live instruments through the xlr to play at the same time?

I’m not quite sure what you are asking. But the app is meant for multi track backing tracks 👍

[@brianlewis2641]

Great video thanks Scott for doing this I'm glad you like the app it looks amazing. Just to mention again that I believe Sebastian had intended to out out an upgrade to Multitracker this year but unfortunately hasn't been able to by the looks of things - am wondering why else is in store! In addition Peter at Stage Traxx is also very supportive of the ST community with his fantastic app which is the one I use currently!

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yup both Multitracker and stage Traxx are quite awesome! I like both of them. Looking forward to the Multitracker update!

[@artguitar2002]

This is so cool. Is there a way it can control two midi devices?? I am able to control guitar patch changes but not DMXIS lights. It seems that I can only have one midi file imported into each song. Is there a way to have two midi files imported ??? Thanks. I appreciate your help.

[@ScottUhlMusic]

Yup of course! Use midi channels. For example, I control my helix with midi channel 4, my Spdsx on channel 10, my voicelive rack on channel 2, my Dmxis lighting on channel 15 and 16, etc. Use different channels and you’ll be good 👍

[@stevesheroan4131]

Did you get your DMXIS working? Mine only has a USB-B input, so I’m not sure how I would employ it into my system outside of maybe using a powered USB hub and sending MIDI to the DMXIS that way. I don’t know if Multitracker would support such an approach. It would have to almost treat the XR18/DMXIS as an aggregate device in that setup. The other option would be to use a MIDI interface such as the iConnectivity MIO, which can distribute MIDI to multiple devices, including USB-only devices. I’m assuming in Scott’s setup he is using the OUT/THRU ports on his devices to daisy-chain his MIDI through his rig, which would not be possible with DMXIS, at least not the one I have.

[@artguitar2002]

@@stevesheroan4131 I have not been able to get the DMXIS to work with Multitracker. The problem is that the DMXIS is usb-b. I am going from my IPad (using Multitracker) to a Focusrite interface to mixer. I have the midi from Focusrite to HX Stomp through MIdi and that works fine. Although I had to get an adaptor to power the Interface with the IPad. With this adaptor I was also able to connect the DMXIS using the usb port. The problem is within Multitracker. I can only assign one Midi signal per song. I tried downloading two Midi commands but Multitracker MIDI Configuration only one can be used at a time.

[@stevesheroan4131]

@@artguitar2002 I think there is a bug in the app now which doesn’t allow multiple midi tracks on a song, because I can’t load more than one midi track on a song either, and I have purchased the full version. I tried restoring purchases, but to no avail. The developer seems to have abandoned the app somewhat because I have sent a couple of emails about other issues which have gone unanswered, so I don’t know how Scott has his app running, but if I were he I wouldn’t update the app OR the iPad on which he’s using it!

[@artguitar2002]

@@stevesheroan4131 I also purchased the full version. Good to know that the developer is not responsive to customers. I have gone back to using my laptop to run both audio tracks, lights, and video. I would have loved to be able to do this with an Ipad but can't find a work around.
