Great tutorial for someone who's considering AL. Thanks for sharing Jake.

Wow this is an amazing video, you have explained very well and in detail this very important subject for church musicians and for those of us who work doing live shows. Thanks a lot.

Man!!!! Thank you for this Support! It's A lot of help 'cause I just Barely Started dealing with Ableton Live Suite!

This is amazing, the amount of information is absolutely crazy, I can’t believe it’s free 🔥🙌

The transition at 31:00 got me, Made me go all the way back to the beginning like OMG, how did we get here again lol. We on our way!

I've been waiting for you to make an ableton masterclass for such a long time, i feel blessed!!.. thank u thank u... blessings from P.R. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🌊💗

Can you do a tutorial on how to set up these automations? It would be really helpful.. thanks

This is amazing and priceless!! Thank you!!

Great content! Thanks so much for taking out the time to do this. Extremely helpful!

so insightful! Our church's worship experience just moved into the next level!!

I was about to ask you to make a full tutorial on this.. and Bam.. you post it... Thanks a lot 🔥

Hi Jake, I am a Pastor we are getting ready to launch in 3 weeks. We purchased Ableton Live 10 and ProPresenter 6 I need with laying down our beginning part of service . Like starting the countdown slide, bumper video slide, & Welcome video.

Awesome tutorial. Been a big fan of Ableton live for a few years now. Currently using for our Youth Ministry.

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and workflow!

at 13:30 it's great to see that you're working with The Beatles for Worship at your church... 😀

Awesome!! Can’t wait to delve into Abelton.

Wow🔥 this is amazing! God bless you brother 🙏 I learnt so much from this video 😁

just few words ...... thanks for the video as im starting my journey in ableton and a new level in worship this video is very informative

Great video & thank you for sharing all your insight. Very helpful indeed ❤️

Thank you so much for this! Help us out so much!

Behringer basic in ear works fine!!! I recently heard Darlene Zschech describe the 'thing' we stand on at the front of the church .... the "platform". She encourages not calling it a 'stage'. Stages age are for performance. Platform is to be seen so Zacchaeus doesn't have to climb up a tree. It sounds silly to differentiate, but really helpful to change the culture away from performing.

I appreciate all the work you're putting in to helping out us worship leaders! Even though the current standard is Ableton Live, I think there are plenty of other options that should be able to do the same functions, like Bitwig Studio. The problem I'm running into is that 99% of the information for performance DAW software (documentation/tutorials) is for recording, or EDM performance. I really wish software companies would have more resources on how to use their products in a performance/backing track setting. I'm studying your workflow, and want to eventually try to do the same things with Bitwig, because it runs in Linux (which is what I use). There is *no* info on how to do this, so I'm resorting to watching Ableton stuff and trying to cross-apply it.

Wow....Jake, frankly, you've been one of the benefits COVID 19 brought to me.....You've made me think of Excellence, investing on right gears and softwares.....one of the questions I have is, why didn't your ad pop on my screen years ago? I immediately subscribed to your channel after drawing some inspiration...I'm yet to begin this journey of ABLETON 10 LIVE..I know it's going to be a blessing to our church and to me at the end... Thank you and God bless you, wife and Twins..

Hey Jake, I was really excited when I saw this. We’ve been using ableton for years and use it in the session view but we learned just enough how to make it work without ever improving it. I think your method would be a huge benefit to us! I will say watching this video, I kept waiting for the how to’s for each step. Every time I thought you would go there, it was on to the next step of what you could do. Any chance of a part 2 of this coming out that is more how to focused? Some things that would benefit me watching is bringing those song templates in to a set list. What are your steps for that? Since you use ableton in arrangement mode how do you set your midi to fire song 1, then 2 and so on? That’s something really easy to do in session view but a little less intuitive in arrangement view. What’s your process for creating midi cues and writing those in to a song? I noticed the labeling at the top of your timeline from song to song, how did you create that? I guess if there were time for you to screen record creating a set list from start to finish one week that would be amazing! Hope this doesn’t come across as griping, because this is great content! I could just personally use a little bit more how to with these steps to wrap my brain around them! Thanks for all you do.

thank you so much for sharing!!!

You are honestly the best. Thank you Jesus for this channel.

Great stuff! Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much. From Korea

It’s a good overview especially on Ableton Live. Please show how its actually done in ableton live. Which should be in fact the most important content of video looking at the title of video.

I hope to join WLS, however I was asked to answer additional questions while the date times were limited at the time. Definitely hoping to try again soon since I recently started using Ableton, and looking to getting the most out of it!

Awesome video Jake, really helpful. I'm working at a really small church with little to no budget (around 50 people), I have managed to implement in ear monitoring and we are currently implementing pads and looking to introduce a Click Track soon. We are currently using OpenLP for lyrics and OBS for livestreaming as they are both free opensource programs that do the job effectively. It may be a struggle to introduce Ableton Live for automation (£250 for standard) as well as getting a seat licence for ProPresenter (approx £280). On top of that I would have to introduce a mac system to effectively run both (2 base model M1 Mac minis £699 each). So I am looking at £2000+ upgrade to a system that doesn't even have a digital sound desk yet (Allen & Heath PA20-CP) (also Zero budget). I honestly really think that Ableton Live paired with automation for Lyrics is the best way forward, but I may have to accomplish it by taking it one very small step at a time (over the course of a few years).

This is what I would like our worship team to go into

Awesome video, Jake! Thanks for sharing great content that's helping worship leaders everywhere! I tell anyone that asks me how to get started with Ableton Live to check you out!

Thanks, this is super helpful!

All respect to you man. Love your videos and your heart. This video is more of an overview not masterclass. Noticed 38 mins in

Awesome!!!!

This was really helpful

Thank you, Jake! (for serving the body of Christ this way) I for one am blessed by what you are sharing. :)

Hello Can you do a quick video on, jumping around ( chorus, verse, bridge, chorus) flawlessly? Like if you finish the song, then the worship leader spontaneously decides to sing the bridge again and you want to use the tracks. It would be great!!!! Thanks!!!!

Awesome. Thanks.

Jake, Thanks for great video, you are my best resource I got. and I need little help here and hope you can get me some direction to look up. I might say my case is unusual for other worship leaders. I serve church that has multiple congregation, so not only Americans but also we have Koreans, Hispanics, and Africans who use french typically. So, we have non-english worship songs on our playlist which typically does not supported by multi-track website. which software like ableton, prime, and etc would be the best for customizing and adding own track for non-english songs? Thanks

You subscribed to pewdiepie????? Nice. Also I love your videos, they help me alot with learning how to lead worship. I am not a worship leader but my worship leader is pushing me to use ableton in multiple ways. I was the one on your live stream who said, "Is 15 too young to lead worship?" Thank you for all your videos!

Thank you for this in depth video. How can i get the ableton template, so i do not have to type and recolor the tracks manually?

Thank you so much for this video. I'm more clear after watching your video. Do you know the best place where I can get backing tracks from?

Hey Jake! Great vid! Question: how to set new tempo for song/part in arrangement view? Thx in advance!

Hi Jake. Thank you for your resources and advice. I know that Ableton Live is a powerful software and daunting at the same time! Where to start? Thanks for the direction. Much appreciated

Praise God

Do have a video tutorial on actually doing the process for a song? Writing the midi cues and such...

Hey Jake, Love this video, VERY helpful and I've watched it MANY times. However, I must keep missing your instruction on how to cue up loops for pads in between songs. What am I missing and where can I find it. Thanks!

Hey! Quick question, what is your yearly church budget for tracks?

The church I'm a part of is fully PC and also the band I'm in uses PC for our Ableton use. Do you have a lighting software recommendation that is PC accessible or have anyone that can recommend one?

Could you do a "versus" of ProProsenter and Proclaim? We use Proclaim, but I am interested to see why you say ProPresenter is better.

Oh my!!!!

Hey so quick question!! Could i use the prime app through dante virtual sound card??

Hi Jake. Awesome video. How many licences of Ableton do you use for the 3 laptops running it (yours, keys and lyric & lighting)? Is it just one because they are all working at the same time or is it one for each laptop? Thanks

i just have one question. how do I get the songs from nultitracks.com do i purchase credits, rent the songs, like what membership do i get

you've got me sold on Ableton Live - started using this for my church several months ago, got the churchfront pads as well. I like arrangement view the way you present it and that's how I've been using it. My question is, how do you deal with a group of songs with different time signatures. This has been a pain for me. It does not seem automatic that time signatures paste in. I could have a set with mostly 4/4 but one 6/8 or even a few songs that go between 3/4 and 4/4 for a few measures at a time (It Is Well or Death Was Arrested if my memory is working) Jake - How do you deal with these time signature changes being pulled into your set-list?

I used to have lights go out and change during songs but then I had a lot of people come to me and say they were extremely distracting. So I got rid of that and just kept a static lighting scene through the songs and one with the lights up when the pastor comes up to speak.

Thanks Jake! How do you create and put markers into the Markers track?

This was really helpful! Why don't you use groups for songs/production cues?

Yes I need all the help I can get lol but hungry too learn

Jake, can you share all the lighting hardware you use to run with ableton? like the lights, the connecting wires etc?

What’s the 4 channel interface you use? Or would any type interface work or is it something specific?

Does anyone know a tutorial on building out your tracks and saving song sessions?

Great video. Thanks for the training. Any chance you could share some of your templates?

thank you for this video......can people outside USA can apply for worship leaders school?

Is it possible to run Sunday Keys while also running the service in arrangement view on the same computer?

Really helpful video, thanks jake :). Running into problems with ableton 11 suite, and a good spec laptop (windows). Ableton is slow and doesn't respond at easy tasks. Is downgrading from 11 to 10 a good solution? Greetings, Nathan

If you're using multitracks rental service and you build up a song but then don't use it for a while because you're renting other tracks do you have to rebuild it when you want to use it again?

Hey Jake great video. The section about the tech booth person triggering ableton with a key to start a video or lighting transition do they have a separate Abelton program on there computer or are they triggering a session from the drummers computer running the stems? That part was a little confusing. I love the power in doing that, just trying to see where the automation takes place.

Can you accomplish the same thing with the lite version of Ableton??

hi jake. i have tried to import multitrack stem files into ableton but for some reason the tracks are being cut to the first instance of audio rather than keelping the silence at the begining of the track. how do you fix this?

Thanks, your video helps a lot here. Whay dont you pass the audio from Ableton via Dante?

Quick question, can you explain how to set your midi clips to loop back to your locators? Thanks!

Hey Jake- if I wanted to use ableton’s internal click, how would I buss it out to click (we use Dante).

Thank you so much Jake this video is really helpful. I was just wondering, what does all the text beneath the song titles say on the lyrics screen?

So you are getting the other parts of the song officially from multitracks.com?

Can you explain the Tempo Track pls

Hi Jake, do you have an ableton template that you can share?

Hey Jake! Thanks for this video! Been a long time Ableton user and I'll never go back. I notice in your "pads sections" you have a midi clip that loops back to your "loop" locator. Can you explain how you set that up? I feel limited with just the one loop bracket. Thanks!

could you (or anyone) possibly recommend a particular midi module for IMAC running pro presenter? Much love thanks!

Amazing content as always! But how do I insert the click tracks? Are you importing a .Wav/Mp3 of the ableton click or are you using the click directly from Ableton. If its the second one, i can't seem to figure out how to hear it through the P.A system.

I am drummer. But thay kinda put me over find tracks Nd sometimes run tracks I what to learn more abt this stuff and make loops and sounds one day

its funny cuz I use to do all that with my Yamaha motif 6 using patterns section and my tascam 2488 with some live instruments both connected via midi . We even had a pair of lights that were activated by midi also and they used to follow the tempo they were recieving...kinda complicated setup . LOL Trust me you really needed to know what you were doing other wise it could be caos in the middle of the service. The motif pattern sounding in china, the tascam in the islands , the light by Alaska ....and me sweating with a confused face ...eyes wide open 🤷🏽‍♂️🤣

Hi Jake... Thank you for this video. Do you think Novation Launch Pad can replace Optimus? Yes... With Optimus you are possible to control your track with you foot. But as a keyboard player It is possible for me to just trigger track with my hand.

How do you add Ableton on the media computer (session view one) so it controls the Ableton computer on stage? I love this idea and want to implement, however, I am a novice.

Will MiDi control only work over WiFi? I prefer to only run cabled networks for critical systems as WiFi is constant source of problems

So the video feed and light design is part of the Ableton eco-system?

Can't you just run the computer to the X32 using a USB cable rather than an interface? I am doing that now and it allows me to send multiple outputs to the FOH so they can mix the pads and ambient sounds real-time. If there's a reason to go through the interface instead could you educate me on what we need to change?

What are using to convert your Apple Music tunes to MP3 for tracks in Ableton?

Awesome video! One question though! On the light key website it has a choice to buy license! Is it necessary to buy the license? And if so, which license would you recommend??

Any idea on how to get cues??

Do you control any slides or videos from ProPresenter? I know sometimes between songs and transitions, we may have slides or announcements videos or anything else. Is the Looptimus and Abelton able to handle those programs?

Everything works EXCEPT.... When I turn on a LightKey cue over MIDI with Ableton and then hit a "STOP" cue or click the stop button in Ableton, the LightKey cue will deactivate instead of remaining on. I see in the Masterclass video that you hit a "STOP" cue within Ableton and the LightKey cue remains on. Do you have any idea of why the LightKey cue turns off for me when I click stop in Ableton?

Hi Jake. Will a macbook pro with ableton work with a pc with propresenter to control slides ?

Also, you said you get the song mp3 through I tunes. Where can I get the mp3 instrumentals?

Maybe I missed it somewhere in the video but where do you buy the tracks from?

You Sir get an "A"

Jake, at 33 minutes in where you show all the software working together -- is this on a separate Tech computer? You aren't running all those softwares on your stage mac, right? Just sending cues from Ableton?
