Great video, I especially like how you organize the stems. This is very helpful thanks ! One thing I added so I wouldn't lose the FX on my sends was to route their audio back into the stem channel I was bouncing. So for example: if I'm doing synths, I'll change the audio output on my returns to "Synth" and then bounce that stem track individually. It's a little more work but that way your tracks aren't dry. **make sure you solo the stem tracks before you export that way you don't get the fx for all the other channels mixed in**
Okay can you explain this a little more? i understand the concept im just fuckin up the execution. I realized the effects don't stay with the stems in a new set. (specifically sidechain and compressors and i feel like reconfiguring each one individually will take too much time or maybe im just lazy)
You do however sometimes use a vocal and a lead at the same time, you would use sidechain compression to enable that, example: "Noisecontrollers - Down Down" (second climax)
Wow, super great video setup for your video production... love how we can see your Ableton Live page, your Face, and Annotations!!!! I've been using AL for 5 years now, but as a producer...I'm looking forward to pulling off a Live performance!
Yes this is exactly what I needed. Also my name is Julian too! I know that means nothing but it’s a rare enough name that I like to recognize a fellow Julian 😂😂
Great video - super helpful! I have Ableton Live Lite though, which only allows for a maximum of 8 tracks in total, so I wouldn't be able to create as many tracks as you have... Hopefully I can still make it work. Thanks for sharing Julian!
Big Question! What if I want to play mastered tracks and stems from my mixdowns sound bad along side master versions of other tracks of mine? This is the one reason I have not yet given this stem method a go yet... Thanks for your quality videos btw. Very inspiring.
If there is a lot of automation in your track will that mess with your live set?? If you want to loop a section I’m realizing the automation would become a problem.
this is definitely a stupid question, idk how to word this right so nothing's coming up online. ok so what am i doing wrong if within the output dropdown the bus i want to send it to doesn't show up? on the bus the in/out/auto boxes are greyed out. i got some to work, but it just seems like specific ones are grey. all the other settings are the same for all the buses.
So you need to have kind of a good mix before rendering the 8 tracks ... and better do not have a mastering chain on your project while preparing the Stems ... easy to fool yourself ... Stems are not mastered
Can you please tell me. when you copy and past a clip in session view, when you when you drag and drop a new sound that also changes the sound in the original clip. how do I make thee two clips independent. Means I want to have different sounds in the original clip and on the copied one. please help
Thank you for your answer . Yes I tried that starting new MIDI column past in it, but still its the same when I change the copied clip it changes the original as well.
Question.. So i created the audio tracks at the bottom to organize my clips into bass kick perc etc... but when i go up to the original tracks to change the routing from master to my new kick track... it doesn't show up... any idea why?
Hey, I am a piano player. I have an i7 8th gen with 16gm RAM. Good notebook. Can i play a midi controller and get shitz crazy while some badass shit is played as I command with MIDI pads, without my computer exploding?
Hey , you promis us a live performance in the titles... an aragement ... is not a live performance thunmbs down for you .... you try to get views. ... to you clips... where its the live performance ??????
Cool Thumbnail Julian

Ninja FAM!
You're brilliant and a great teacher. THANK YOU!!
I've been trying to figure this stuff out for so long and this method as made soooo much sense thank you Julian!!!!

You have saved me a lot of time Julian, Thank you very much for this video!
Big hug!
Much love!
Oh hell yeah, an “enharmonic key change” always makes the crowd go wild 🤓😜
I was literally about to search up how to use ableton in a live set and this popped up in my sub feed haha. Impeccable timing :D
+K3YoH aye :)
Very interesting setup. Can't wait for the next video!
+Phrolic Music soon!
You do however sometimes use a vocal and a lead at the same time, you would use sidechain compression to enable that, example: "Noisecontrollers - Down Down" (second climax)
Yup! I add a 9th channel for situations like this. but it's definitely less common.
Wow, super great video setup for your video production... love how we can see your Ableton Live page, your Face, and Annotations!!!! I've been using AL for 5 years now, but as a producer...I'm looking forward to pulling off a Live performance!
Cheers man! Glad you enjoyed the video! Ableton in a live setting is incredibly fun!
You are direct, simple and effective. Thanks! BUt how to handle this 40% CPU without anything already playing?
New computer! jk, but the only solutions are work arounds. Increase your buffer rate, lower your sample rate.
thank you Julian ... you explain very well so I get it .😉.. not everyone has this skill 😊
Man these videos are helping me so much, thank you
Thanks Julian for a great tutorial! I have never seen anything as comprehensible as this.
Thank you!

You should be good if your setup is simpler than this.
Nice insight bro, thanks
great tutorial, just given your 1,000th like, hope you get many more.
Thank you!
Awesome thanks keep up the good work
thanks for the solution
!
Great tutorial Julian, thank you!
Amazing, thank you!

Thanks for your quality videos btw. Very inspiring.
You must be using a lot of mastering effects then. Perhaps use your mastering chain in live with the unmastered stems when you play.
I mean what if you just make a group with all of your hubs and put your master effects on it? that should work !!
How did you get your talking head to overlay against the screen recording? It's very smooth compared to a separate window. Very nicely done!
Green screen!
Thank you dude. This will help
cheers excited for the rest
Thank god for youtube holy shit
Are those 8 tracks you made as KICK CLAP etc.. return tracks?
I'd like to see some lighting videos
in the pipeline as well :)
If there is a lot of automation in your track will that mess with your live set?? If you want to loop a section I’m realizing the automation would become a problem.
I want part 2 now!!
Very soon. Most likely early in the week
this is definitely a stupid question, idk how to word this right so nothing's coming up online. ok so what am i doing wrong if within the output dropdown the bus i want to send it to doesn't show up? on the bus the in/out/auto boxes are greyed out. i got some to work, but it just seems like specific ones are grey. all the other settings are the same for all the buses.
Those 8 Channels, are those going to Send/Return Channels,
or their own sub-buss routing via the Track Output of those Channels?
so whats your mastering process, are these stems raw or how does that work
raw stems, I run them through a basic mastering chain live
So you need to have kind of a good mix before rendering the 8 tracks ...
and better do not have a mastering chain on your project while preparing the Stems ... easy to fool yourself ...
Stems are not mastered
Can you please tell me. when you copy and past a clip in session view, when you when you drag and drop a new sound that also changes the sound in the original clip. how do I make thee two clips independent. Means I want to have different sounds in the original clip and on the copied one. please help
you have to use another channel for it.
Thank you for your answer . Yes I tried that starting new MIDI column past in it, but still its the same when I change the copied clip it changes the original as well.
Thanks
Can you use logic for live performance?
Thanks dude
Question.. So i created the audio tracks at the bottom to organize my clips into bass kick perc etc... but when i go up to the original tracks to change the routing from master to my new kick track... it doesn't show up... any idea why?
are you in live 9 or 10?
Hey, I am a piano player. I have an i7 8th gen with 16gm RAM. Good notebook.
Can i play a midi controller and get shitz crazy while some badass shit is played as I command with MIDI pads, without my computer exploding?
BTW, reminding I only use samples and low CPU vsts
dude, after prepare all clip,do we have to do mastering? or just real time
Real time mastering works best in my experience
@@JulianGrayMedia thanks dude gbu
Han Zimmer, Master Class, the PERFECT ad to be on your video!
Did you mention you need your dummy tracks set to "in"?
how about returns? when i use this technique all of my return effects are gone after the export. how do i fix that?
You can't use return effects in this config, unless you re-route returns into their own channel.
Julian Gray Media thanks! will try that
you wear a shirt with your name on it ...
gotta rep the brand, man.
Hey , you promis us a live performance in the titles... an aragement ... is not a live performance thunmbs down for you .... you try to get views. ... to you clips... where its the live performance ??????
What are you trying to achieve? This is the colliquial definition of ableton live performance.
