BackStage Pass: 012
Welcome back to Back Stage Pass. You're receiving this email because you're a part of the FS2S community.
Reader,
You've likely heard me talk about the 3-part framework before. If not, it's pretty simple:
- Use a template for Live Performance
- Format every single one of your songs using that template
- Build an Ableton Live Set with your template, using those formatted songs.
In today's tutorial, I show you how to do step 3. If you get this, you can build your Ableton Live Set in 5 minutes or less.
You'll learn:
- How to get started for free with a free template
- Set up your MIDI controller and audio interface
- Add your songs to your set quickly, without thinking.
- Clean-up and arrange your session so it's easy to navigate and understand.
- Adjust the start and end points of your songs to create smooth transitions between them.
- Add fades if necessary to enhance the flow between songs.
Whether you're using a set-list management solution like AbleSet or just building your set in Ableton, this will save you TONS of time, and allow you to use Live on stage in a way that's effecient, flexible, and stable.
Now, watch me build a set in real-time
as I share tips and tricks along the way👇
Simply load Lyrics (compatible with Live 11X and requires Ableton Suite or Max4 Live) into Ableton Live, Load a text file and line up your lyrics.
Move the floating window to an external monitor and you're good to go. Jump around your set, customize the look/timing of clips, and editing a lyrics is as simple as re-naming a MIDI clip. No more back and forth with your video software.
If you're using tracks and need a teleprompter solution, this is for you!
