For now, AbleSet only works in arrangement view. Would that work for your use case? :)

You can also hard-wire everything and still run AbleSet in a redundant setup, no need for WiFi :)

Hey Desmond, unfortunately AbleSet currently only supports one song per project file. This is something I’d like to improve in a future version, but for now I’d recommend either merging the two project files into one or splitting them both into one project file per song.

@ totally understand! Thanks so much for the explanation :)

The Safe Mode disables jumping to a different song or section while Live is playing to prevent mistakes that might cause a song to be interrupted. I hope this helps :)

​@@ableset, dude, you are geniuses!!! I'm doing about 150 live shows in a year, and your software makes my life so much easier!!!

I'm happy to hear that you like AbleSet! The guide voices are provided by From Studio to Stage, you can download them here: pages.fromstudiotostage.com/cues

That's a great suggestion! If you'd like AbleSet to place the locator a few bars before each section, you could take a look at the Count-In feature: ableset.app/docs/count-in/ Jumping forwards or backwards by a few seconds or bars isn't possible yet, but would be a great feature to have. I'll add it to my todo list!

That sounds like a useful feature! I've added it to my todo list 😊

@@ableset That's awesome!!!! Thank you.

Unfortunately, you currently need to have a locator at sections that you want to be able to jump to while Live is playing. This is due to a limitation with Live's third-party plugin system.

@@ableset Alrighty, no problem 👌 Thank you for such an amazing tool 🔥🤘

Could you send me an email to support@ableset.app with your project file so I can take a look at what might be going wrong? Just the .als file should suffice for this. You can also include a video of the issues on your end if you like - that often helps with troubleshooting.

I haven't gotten to it yet, but it's on my todo list :)

AbleSet just sends an OSC command when the beginning of a clip is reached - the length of OSC clips doesn't matter in this case. If you'd like to shorten the time that the message stays on screen, you can add it as an additional parameter in milliseconds. For example, to only show the notification for one second, send this command: /notify/big all "pause in 5 sec" 1000 Let me know if this works for you! :)

I'm glad you like the update! I could imagine adding an option to hide all song information from the performance page, which would leave you with just the lyrics on the left and the setlist on the right, along with playback controls that you can hide if you don't need them. Would that work for your use case?

@@ableset ...And a "teleprompter mode" for the lyrics, would it be possible to invert/mirror the image to make something like these? Thank you very much for your feedback again 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@@ableset Yes, it would work perfectly!!!!... I hadn't thought of it that way 😂🤦🏻‍♂️🤪

@@yoyen_munchausen that's a cool idea - I'll add it to my todo list!

@@yoyen_munchausen that's a cool idea! I've added it to my todo list and will check how easy this would be to implement.

Unfortunately, this isn't possible at the moment, but I've added support for this to my todo list.

@@ableset something like only displaying sections that are ‘jumpable’ (with an > marker) would be awesome aswell. That way you can cherrypick the jumpable sections beforehand and only see those ‘important’ buttons during playback.

@@tice2229 that‘s a great idea! It might take a bit longer to implement, but I’ve added it to my task list as well 😊

@@ableset awesome!! Good luck coding😁

That sounds like a bug, I'm sorry about that! Could you email me at support@ableset.app if this issue still persists so we can troubleshoot it?

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.

That's already possible using AbleSet's MIDI mapping and OSC features. You can assign buttons to solo or unsolo, mute or unmute, or toggle the state of the click track in the MIDI mapping settings, depending on what you need. Please let me know if you have any further questions! 😊

Hey Alex, could you elaborate on the issue you're experiencing? I'm happy to help :)

@@ableset my problem is I didn’t do the update before my year ended and now I can’t even get the version I should from my year, but it’s my fault

@@alexblackngrey you can always download older versions of AbleSet from this page: ableset.app/changelog You can log into your account on the AbleSet website to find out which version your license is valid for. I hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions!

I made them using a little tool I've built: ableset.app/tools/midi-typer/ This allows you to create MIDI clips where the notes spell out whatever you type into the text field. I hope this helps!

Hey Isaac, in this video, both computers are connected to the PlayAUDIO12 via USB using a USB-B to USB-C cable and to a router using Ethernet dongles. I hope this helps!

That shouldn't be a problem, I do the same in this video :)

@@ableset do I have to run the same operating system ?

@@nabilsalahuddin6271 I haven't extensively tested running AbleSet in a macOS/Windows setup, but running it on two different versions of macOS isn't going to be an issue

Hey Eric, I'm sorry to hear about this issue. If it still persists, could you email me at support@ableset.app so I can take a closer look?

Each license can be used on up to two computers at once, so you can run a redundant setup with just one 😊

Hey Tyler, that would depend on which and how many plugins you use per file. If it's just a few, switching between files shouldn't take longer than a second. I'd just try it out with the plugins you use. You can download a free trial of AbleSet from my website, ableset.app 😊

Her rigs don’t lie

I'm glad you like it! Regarding the issue, could you check if you have the AbleSet Controller and LTC Display devices loaded in your Ableton project? They provide the information that is displayed on the Stream Deck.

@@ableset how do I do this?

@@SSPMusicGroupInc you can find the controller by going to AbleSet's settings menu and selecting "Get AbleSet Controller". This device requires either Live Suite or Live Standard with the Max for Live extension. To load it into your project, simply drag the file onto a track of your choice. I usually drag the device on my Master/Main track, but that's up to your preference. The LTC Display is a separate purchase. You can learn more about it here: leolabs.gumroad.com/l/ltc-display I hope this helps!

@@ableset ok awesome. so I'm just confirming that I need to do the steps you mention to see LTC timecode info on the streamdeck and abelset performace view as well?

@@SSPMusicGroupInc yes, that's correct!

Hmm, that should already be the case. Could you send me the project file you're experiencing this issue with along with a video of what it looks like on your end so I can look into it?

Could you send me the project file you're experiencing this issue with to support@ableset.app? I'll try to reproduce it on my end then :)

Unfortunately, it seems like Lemur is no longer available so I'm not sure I can help you with this as I can't test it on my end, but if the app supports OSC, you could consult AbleSet's OSC documentation for more information: ableset.app/docs/osc/

By joining a jazz band

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

@@phild5322lol

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.

not all shows need to be improvised.

Thank you, I'm glad you like the app! The controller was originally custom-built by Pixeled Event Production for another project.

"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

😂😂😂 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.
