    Using Ableton Live to Trigger Backtracks and Lighting | My Live Performance Rig
    Hey! This is Ryan Waczek from Lion Bold! Have you ever tried using Ableton for more than just recording? I use it to trigger backtracks and a lighting show when I perform. In this video, I walk-through my live performance setup for you! Enjoy!

    Great video. I am new to Ableton and I would love to see how you did the lighting automation. did you due it in session view or arrangement view? Looks like you are launching your scenes in session view.

    Thanks!

  • @THRILLSVILLE
    @THRILLSVILLE 4 роки тому

    Fantastic video thank you for the info. I’m about to make the switch from running my lights/tracks with dmxis/show buddy to Ableton so I can run lights as well as movies with my tracks. I’m really happy to see I don’t lose the foot switch capability of triggering songs to start/stop. I’d really love to know your process of programming lights in Ableton. Plan on doing a video on that? Thank you again!

    • @IndieMusicAcademy

      Hey my man! Thanks so much for the complements and for sharing what you've been up to as well.
      Honestly I don't think I'll be able to invest into the Ableton training as soon as I hoped. But IT WILL HAPPEN i promise you.
      I think end of this year, I'm going to start moving into hard-core Ableton triggering tutorials, but right now it's not in the content lineup as I am focusing on music industry tips and strategies right now.
      But thank you so much for reaching out because this confirms that there is a need for good Ableton Live triggering tutorials out there and I definitely want to make them.
      Later in the year. I'm almost positive :)

    Great video, super helpful.
    Do you find running DMXIS with Ableton uses up a lot of CPU?
    I'm thinking of switching over my set up to a single backing track WAV, a software synth, and DMXIS automating the lights.
    Mid 2012 MacBook Pro with 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 and 16 GB RAM, do you think I'll run into any trouble? I have no idea how CPU intensive DMXIS is. Thanks!

    • @IndieMusicAcademy
      @IndieMusicAcademy  4 роки тому

      It hasn't been CPU intensive at all for me, but my mac is a tad newer. I feel if you can run a normal Ableton session, you can run DMXIS

  • @olive6671

    The song you played with the track, was that Lion and the Lamb?
    You said you're new to Ableton Live... was figuring out how to trigger different parts with the footswitch not too hard? Which version of Ableton Live would I need to do as you've done?
    Could you do more videos on your performing with this set up?

    • @IndieMusicAcademy
      @IndieMusicAcademy  4 роки тому

      Hi Steve, yes that song was Lion and the Lamb. Good catch!
      I spent a lot of time studying Ableton and all the mappings required for advanced live setups. And honestly, it was pretty hard. At least for me!!! haha
      It is my goal to make more Ableton Live tutorials near the end of 2020 if everything goes according to plan. Please stay tuned for this. I have a strong desire to also make an in-depth Ableton live looping course, planned for 2021. I use Ableton Live 9 currently.

    Hi Ryan. This is great! Would you ever consider an hour or 2 of your time for paid consultation? I am in a similar solo guitar player with very similar gear and just just purchased ableton. I’ve been looking for some advice like this for a while. If interested to chat further let me know.

    can u do this with Cubase for live performances?

    • @IndieMusicAcademy
      @IndieMusicAcademy  4 роки тому

      I’m sure there is a way, but Ableton I believe has specific tools for live performers. I’m not sure if Cubase has any features specifically for live. I can’t speak too much on the subject as I’ve never used Cubase before.
