Live Set with Stem Mixing – Setting up your Tracks

July 27th, 2018|

So you got some sweet tracks, but you want to load them into Ableton Live's Session view for live performance. It can be a headache... but I made this video on how to quickly do this for your Stems.  Just drag in the stems you have exported of your song, chop it up, and get it ready to go in Session View. Watch the video below for a walkthrough:   <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://youtu.be/6czn0x_3PT8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Sign up for our Email List to get notified when the Studio to the Stage course goes live. [/fusion_builder_column][email-subscribers namefield=”YES” desc=”Sign up to get notified when the Studio to the Stage course goes live.” group=”Public”] If you don't know how to bounce down your tracks into Stems to start, check out this article and video. I also included an easy to use PDF / checklist for making stems.

When performing Live I am always looking for a stand... after many tries, here is my list of the perfect stands for Novation Launchpad. Best Stand for Standing Performance When performing I prefer to stand and have my MIDI gear face out to the audience. I have found the Quik-Lok TriPod Stand, LPH-001 to be the perfect stand. It's lightweight (compared to other stands I have had), and it fits all the Launchpads perfectly.  The stand is foldable and works great on the road. My only gripe is it doesn't lock and just twist tightens... but that shouldn't matter too much.  This would be my number one choice.   Link to the Stand   Push Stand for the Desk Next up, I have used this adjustable stand for my desk. This stand is adjustable for the angle you need. It makes it a lot easier to set up in your studio or on a table.  This stand is also metal, sturdy,
