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

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.

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. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🌊💗

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..

The transition at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1860">31:00</a> 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!

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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

at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="810">13:30</a> it's great to see that you're working with The Beatles for Worship at your church... 😀

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!

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

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.

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

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).

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

Out of interest, why don’t you just use the mixer as the audio interface and cut out the middle-man interface?

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

Praise God

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

This is amazing and priceless!! Thank you!!

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.

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

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!

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?

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!

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

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.

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

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?

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?

Any idea on how to get cues??

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

My wife and I are strong Christians but we are not worship leaders. We use LIve in our live stream shows (country music) . Would you consider offering the school to musicians that are not worship leaders?

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

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

Thank you so much. From Korea

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

We are a up and coming small church I don’t play any instrument as a worship leader I play off of my iPad and sing from background music I find how can this work with me?

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

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

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

Awesome. Thanks.

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

please add caption. for god!!! thanks

Would pro presenter be able to operate on the same MacBook as Ableton?

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!!!!

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 one question. When I drag and drop from multi tracks to to Ableton I don’t get the song that is split into parts like verse 1 chorus, verse 2 chorus. Do you manually put those in??

Is there a place to purchase the template you use for your sessions?

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

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

This was really helpful

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

Where did you get the tracks from

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

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

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!

Where can i find the template? Do you sale it?

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?

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

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

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

Hi Jake how can I apply for a one and one online training?

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?

Awesome!!!!

thank you so much for sharing!!!

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?

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?

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

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

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?

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?

Could you put subtitles in English please

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

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

isn't that black out in between songs a distraction cause ?

So...with all this planned out system, how do you allow for following the leading of the Father in worship? How do you change songs or go back to another song or do something unplanned because you are lead to do so while worshiping? It seems to me that I would become a slave to the program. Instead of it serving me, I would be serving it. I'm not criticizing it at all, just not sure how you retain any flexibility.

hey jake, i have a question. did you collect and save every-time you make a weekly setlist, or you just leave the audio of every song in there own folders? thank before *sorry for the bad english

Great stuff! Thanks a lot.

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

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

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

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

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

What if the band gets off and you have to kill the click. Do you lose your lyric and lighting cues?

I'm a reluctant learner here just trying to understand the other side. I have observed worship ministry being transformed into a cyborg over the years but unfortunately, it seems like the training wheels are staying on and the hand-holding will never stop. We are the karaoke ministry now. Now that we are here, I want to do my due diligence to be an expert even in tools I find superfluous, arbitrary, and unnecessarily expensive, both in terms of time and money. So I wonder if you'll help me out with a question or three. I notice you say "eliminate distracting mistakes" as a benefit of using Ableton. In over 20 years of leading worship in churches of all sizes, I have never seen mistakes as distracting as those created by automation. Can you give me some examples of the distracting mistakes that happen without Ableton that are as distracting as having to stop all the tracks and start over? It's like pulling the curtain away in Wizard of Oz, isn't it? The body of Christ is immediately sucked out of worship when they realize just how much of what is happening on stage is not happening on stage. Do you think team members are being shaped into servants as much as they are being programmed and aimed at the goal? How is playing off a worship set as your team giving their best okay when the best sounds coming off stage are purchased from Multitracks? Isn't this akin to "stolen valor?" You keep mentioning "excellence" but it's not your team's excellence is it? When you enhance what you're able to do with tracks recorded by professional musicians, then it's actually someone else's excellence, and possibly your excellence at using an overly complicated program, isn't it? Please excuse my cynical tone. As grumpy as I may sound, I am looking to be proven wrong. But if I'm going to believe being proven wrong, I'm going to have to apply pressure. No stance is worth having if it can't hold up against intense scrutiny.

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