This is a great video. Many times people hear multitracks and automated lights and think it is some huge, distracting show/production. This video demonstrates how these tools can, and should, be used to aid in tasteful, thoughtful, Christ-centered worship.
Thank you so much for putting up this video. It's good to see and hear it all during a live set. Awesome job Jake! Your ministry is a huge blessing and resource!
I love you men, today I discovered your channel and I've been watching your videos for almost a day, you've been helping me a lot !! and that I do not understand English and I put it with subtitles, Thank you thank you, may God reward you twice for this effort!
Great video, Jake. We haven't gone with Abelton at this point. We just introduced the click track two Sundays ago using Tempo and driven from my iPad. Very interested, though, in hearing how you handle the transitions. Love to hear more of your live worship including the transitions, if possible. God bless.
We haven't gotten into Abelton yet and I dunno if we will. But just wanted to say that as far as leading worship goes, you and your team did a wonderful job with this service. You kept it worshipful and kept it about the Lord. Great work in His service!
Hey Jake! I would love to see a video of what happens when either the tracks mess up or maybe you miss a bar and how you guys approach that problem! Thanks for everything
Although we don't use Abelton we use playback on Sunday mornings to use Multitracks. When something happens where we fall off the click or miss a cue it can be tough, but not impossible, to get back. The hard part comes when somehow the band gets off one beat or a half a measure. This most often happens at the very beginning of a song when someone, either an instrumentalist or vocalist, comes in one or two counts early. To fix these situations I recommend you always have a talkback mic somewhere on the stage and is with either an MD (musical director) or is with the drummer. With the talkback mic you can coordinate with the band through your in-ear system without the rest of the world knowing. Someone can call out that as a team you're going to hold on a note for two extra counts, or whatever you need, to get back on the next measure. Typically you'll do that with a phrase or into the next verse/chorus so it doesn't feel abrupt. If you do it right the majority of the time, no one notices.
this would be a great video idea, Especially when everything is running off of Ableton. That is what is really keeping me from implementing full automation in our worship services. I dont want to risk everything getting off time and not knowing how to truly fix it without huge interruptions.
Hey Jake. Great vid, thanks! BTW you're overpowering your other lead singers when you're singing harmonies. Just pull back from your mic slightly when singing harmonies or 2nd voice and that will sort it right out!
Etienne Snyman I agree the balance is off. Although I think the solution is I need to do a better job coaching my sound volunteer to actively adjust levels throughout the song.
Man I really would love to join worship leader school and get the other audio material you have made BUT I live in Cuba and maybe you don't know about Cuba and the American embargo but let me put it clear I don't have the money or a credit card I don't have a way to pay for it I WOULD LOVE but for the moment I can't However Thank you for all the videos in youtube M learning a lot and want to use the information to help more Sound tech in Cuba God Bless
Hey there Jake! Thanks for this! Haven't watched the whole video, but I have a question. In your experience with Multitracks in Ableton, are you able to change arrangements of songs (verses, choruses, bridges, etc) pretty easily or have you pretty strictly stuck to the arrangement of the songs as the artists originally laid them out?
Love your videos...but not this one! How did you record this? Are the band vocals and instruments just coming through an ambient mic? or the camera mic? The cues aren't very loud/clear. Maybe have the recording go direct rather than through camera mic. Love the visual though.
The girl at 17:00 puts her hands in pocket Lol. I have had the same problem with ladies on my team putting their hands in their pockets during singing/leading a song.
Hey Jake Quick question, if perhaps the worship leader wants to get back to a specific part of the song how could he/she do it?, as far as I know what you put in ableton is fixed for instance if you put a song in their original structure i.e Intro, Verse, Chorus, bridge chorus, that is what you playback on ableton, if the worship leader somehow wants to extend or repeat parts of the song how could he/she do it?. Cues/locator? this is without modifying/ pre-planned structures in ableton. What I'm trying to say is can you arrange it live? Thanks =)
@@Churchfront all song that was played in this video thanks.. I want to download it bro, the message of the songs was so meaningful, I was so blessed. To God be the glory..
Hmm... looks like you created a "song" that was just click and pads, same tempo as Glorious Day. Then when you were done talking, you advanced to the next "song" (not sure what they're called in Ableton), which was Glorious Day. Is that right?
Ashton our keyboard player triggers all of our tracks. When I say, "let's continue to worship through song" he knows to hit the next locator in Ableton
If you have the budget you can have the same setup on two computers. Ableton has something called link. If There are plugins that Monitor the sync. If Ableton crashes on one computer the other can keep everything going without anyone knowing. If both crashes you just keep going. As long as you keep you computer updated and meet software requirements you will not have any big issues.
I don't know about this. Isn't worship supposed to be led by the Holy Spirit, and not a program? It seems like once you start, you're on a train that won't stop until the track runs out. All the musicians are intent on listening to the click, afraid of messing up, and not actually worshiping. It's like they are the actors doing a performance.
Mary Latona if you watch his content that explains the program you’ll see that it’s completely spontaneous-friendly. He can repeat or skip any part with the click of a foot switch. And as far as the click track it’s not scary at all. You adapt to it while you’re playing and it keeps all parts together. “Let all things be done decently and in order” 1 Corinthians 14:40
Mary Latona there are a few ways to communicate that. The leader can do call outs leading into where they want to go which is what I normally do, or you can use a talkback mic method that only goes to the in-ear monitors, or just band chemistry. If you play long enough with a band they start thinking like a group and already know where the song is leading into. Jake just released a video today talking about the program if you want more info

Awesome set! You have very talented people on that stage to help lead worship to our God! Awesome set guys!

Hey Jake! Super cool inside look! Have you considered using a midi out tempo from Abelton into lightkey to beat match your lighting?
Hey bro, what drone pads are you using? love it! this is really inspiring
What type of computer speed, do I need to do this,and version of Ableton,also I'll be using my own vst plugins, plus I'm a pc user,not a mac..Thanks
Question, are you the only one listening to clicks and tracks? or are all of the band members? Or it just depends to who wants to listen to it
Thanks for a great Demo Video Jake, BTW are you only using Drum & Keys in your band? (No Guitars & Bass)?
Jake I would love to see you preparing everything from 0
Join worship leader school. It’s all in there.

hey man, the alclair in ear monitor coupon hasn't ever worked for me, what should i do?

You can easily reorder your arrangement. Ableton makes it super quick to cut, paste, or copy different parts of the song!
That is so cool, we can't get most of our singers to wear iem's let alone use a click track.
you were so right about Joey hitting soft I can barely hear those drums.
lol we get both sides of the spectrum with you guys
@@Churchfront I'd say

The AwesomeGuy101 watch the videos on the looptimus foot switch. It explains everything

What is the title of that song Bro? From Philippines. God bless you all.
which one?
