There you have it! If you have any further questions, please comment or shoot me an email. Make the physical connections using audio cabling to send the new click track to the FOH engineer. *Link to diagram for physical signal connections with an Ableton setup here Do this by pressing CMD+C (copy) on the first click track, then clicking in the next open track and pressing CMD+V (paste)ġ1. You can copy the click tracks down as many times as need, therefore saving you from having to draw them in every time. Type in your new tempo and press enterġ0.

On track one on the ‘Master Channel’, ‘two finger click’ (Mac) and scroll down to ‘Edit Launch Tempo’. Rename the new click track by pressing CMD+R (Mac) and naming the songĩ. Draw in your notes on the row labeled ‘Wood Block High’ on the quarter note spacing (remember to use the time ruler if needed)Ĩ. At the bottom, ‘two-finger click’ (Mac) and click ‘Draw Mode’ħ. Double click on ‘Percussion 1’ and hit CMD+R (Mac) to rename this ‘Click’Ħ. Double click on the first open track beneath ‘Percussion 1’ to create our first click trackĥ. Go to ‘Instruments’ > ‘Impulse’ > ‘Percussion 1’ and double click ‘Percussion 1’ to load this sound bankĤ. Make sure the Ableton ‘master click’ is turned off (click the yellow shaded area)ģ. We need to create our own click tracks and have them all at different tempos. Not every song we play is 120BPM, so we need a work-around. The problem with this click track is that it’s the ‘Master Click.’ This means that every track you play will be locked to this tempo. It will always open at 120BPM and the yellow shading indicates that it’s armed and ready. When you first open Ableton Live, you will notice that there is already a click track ready to go. While I will not get into pages of details here on setting up a click track within Ableton, you can always click over to the video tutorial here for a detailed breakdown. It’s important to note that while both Ableton and Pro Tools are DAWs, they are used for totally different purposes. I use Ableton during live shows and worship sets but I always do my post-production mixing in Pro Tools. Ableton Live is Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) that is most often used in the live setting.
