We have MUCH love for our friends at Enter Shikari. One of the first bands to use the PlayAUDIO12 live when it came out years ago. Great video Leo! Enter Shikari has one of the tightest shows live. It's a masterpiece.
I’ve only followed ES very casually since their first two albums to be honest, so to go from their ‘In the Low’ UA-cam series in the late 2000s to this is quite a change haha.
Enter Shikari were one of the major influences in my choosing the career path I'm on (as a stage tech/designer) so it's really cool to see a BTS of how their show runs, it would be great to see more of them. Thanks to AbleSet and the band for taking the time to make the video.
Enter Shikari use one big project file that contains all songs. This means that jumping between songs doesn't require loading a new project file, so it can happen instantly.
Hi I want to buy the ableset but I read that it only includes 1 year of updates. Does it mean that if there are updates after a year, will I have to pay for them? or buy it again?
lol love you guys, I didn't expect such a vast network of gear. lol I do have to have a laugh at this though. It's ugh a ugh cat ugh 5 ugh cable ugh to the ugh Kemper ugh, ugh , ugh.
How the hell does an artist jam or improvise on stage when everything is locked to a grid? Never going off script or using a different sound on a whim?
These are all small pieces of technology adding up to the whole we see. As far as it goes for the grid, it's just what is suited to the band in question. They're happy with where the songs are and when they want to 'improve' they understand what they need to do because they're all so involved with the set up. The fact the band's bass player himself is running us through it all should be insight enough that they're keyed into the tech on stage
As someone who uses a set up like this.... You add jam and improve sections into the grid. Also like crowd interaction parts add them to the grid. The crowd won't know and it makes it sound like you're not doing it to grid.
Wow this is horrible I was sound engineering small gigs for a few years and the big difference between professional musicians and everyone else the professional musicians turn up with way more equipment/people than they need over complicate everything and it almost always goes wrong, then they would try and blame me. I imagine it’s someone (manager/techs) just trying to justify their job keep the gravy train rolling.
"I was sound engineering small gigs" - there's your problem, you were in over your head with "professional musicians". These aren't small gigs, these are high production tours with large scale stage visuals & sound cues to translate as much of the album performance to live shows with flexibility. They employ people that know what they're doing with this stuff and can do it well, which most FOH engineers worth their weight can do. Most pro musicians use a playback system with a lot of ableton session automation to build up the sound a bit more than your usual 5 piece band up the road playing the pub, its nothing new, modern tech lets bands do much more than before.
Im a stage tech for a small band (we play from 500 to 3 k people crowds 4 times a week) - We use cues, in ears, timecodes etc. Its really not that hard if you know what your doing, sorry just sounds like you dont.
@@filipeventura2729 it’s not about weather it’s difficult it clearly isn’t but you are adding unnecessary complexity which can and will go wrong and as a musician I find all of this a further insult because if you can’t do it without all this you shouldn’t be on that stage

Leo is a monster! So focused! AbleSet is realy a gamechanger. he is not paying me :)))

Really interesting! Thanks for sharing 🔻
Nice video Leo!
Nice. Great video!! ❤
what is that big green button controller?? Ableset rules!!!
Thank you, I'm glad you like the app! The controller was originally custom-built by Pixeled Event Production for another project.
6:23 how did you make it switch so fast between the songs? With our setup it takes 5-8 Seconds to load the next song with ableton 12 and ableset

Her rigs don’t lie

not all shows need to be improvised.

😂😂😂 ok bro lol
If you are running small gigs only, it's totally fine that you don't posses any knowledge how to run huge shows.
This is so fascinating! Even though I have no idea what they meant half the time 😅
