It’s Saturday night and you’re headed to bed soon because you've gotta be up early to lead worship at church tomorrow. You’re thinking through the set, rehearsing transitions, hoping the band practiced so that rehearsal goes well and then it hits you... you forgot to build your Ableton set for this weekend! Just when you thought you were ready for service, you realize you have about an hour worth of work ahead of you...
Okay... less dramatic scenario now. You’ve used Ableton Live for years. You build your sets in Arrangement view because of the flexibility you have and the power to create great transitions between songs. Only problem is that every time you build your set, you have to add locators, draw in your tempo automation, name and align your tracks, and you think to yourself... there’s got to be an easier way to do this.
Thankfully, now there is an easier way. In fact, once you see how easy it is, you might not believe it’s true.
Custom Sessions is a new service from MultiTracks.com that we've engineered to allow our servers to create the Ableton set for you! You choose the songs from your MultiTracks.com account that you’ve already purchased, put them in any order you choose, and our servers will generate a customized Ableton session just for you that will include tempo changes, track names, and all your locators already added in. All you need to do is drop the .WAV or .M4A files into the samples folder after you download your set.
Now your Ableton session is automatically generated and ready to go. You can go in and edit transitions if you want and add any extra content, but you won't have to re-do any of the work that the our engineers have done previously to the session. For example, many live recordings require tempo automations that make the "grid" snap to the musician's performance. This allows you to loop the tracks even though the performance wasn't recorded to a click. We have some songs in our catalog that are live original masters with over 100 tempo automations to make the song sync perfectly to the grid and that can easily take one of our engineers multiple hours to automate. If you ever find yourself doing those sort of edits to a set, you're ready for Custom Sessions.
