Written by Ableton Certified Trainer, Will Doggett There are tons of MIDI  controllers available to musicians and worship leaders. Foot controllers, iPad apps, keyboard controllers, drum controllers - It seems like there's a controller from every company for every type of musician. How often does a company attempt to create a new instrument? That's precisely what Ableton is attempting to do with "Push." Checkout our video from NAMM with Dennis Desantis from Ableton and check out this new instrument for music creation and performance from Ableton.

This year we were on the exhibit hall floor of the Anaheim Convention Center at NAMM 2013 and we announced a partnership with the Worship Sound Pro division of Sweetwater. We've been turning out NAMM coverage daily that matters most to Houses of Worship. Currently on the site, you'll see videos for the new Presonus Studio Live 32 channel mixer, Roland's new Vocal Trainer, and lots of great gear that you can use if you're running MultiTracks in your church.

This year we're on the exhibit hall floor of the Anaheim Convention Center at NAMM 2013 and we're excited to announce a partnership with the Worship Sound Pro division of Sweetwater!  We're here at the NAMM Show together to cover the gear that matters most to Houses of Worship. Over the coming days you'll see highlights from Roland, Presonus, Line 6, M-Audio, Ableton and many more. Sweetwater is the leader in worship sound for churches and they have fantastic customer support that can help you navigate through the right decisions when it comes to choosing the right gear. Our team here at MultiTracks.com has been helping worship leaders navigate these decisions for years on how to best trigger MultiTracks from the stage and now we'll be expanding to add this training content on the Worship Sound Pro!

We're excited to announce that we've just uploaded a new album of MultiTracks from North Point Music from their most recent release No One Higher! This album was given high marks by the editors of Worship Leader Magazine as the "the live worship album of 2012." The project is North Point's first recording that was released for their student ministry Inside Out and and it's full of congregational songs with  energy and passion featuring worship leaders Eddie Kirdland and Seth Condrey. There are several new songs like "Can't Stop Singing" and "God Is For Us" on this album along with some well-known covers like "Furious," "Always," "Arms Open Wide"and "Forever Reign."

We are excited to announce the release of Chris Tomlin's new album Burning Lights featuring several collaborations with different artists such as Lecrae, Christy Nockels, Kari Jobe, and Phil Wickham. We've added all the songs in MultiTrack, LiteTrack and Rehearsal Mix formats which are available for download today! If you watched the stream last week from the Passion conference at the Georgia Dome, you may recognize many of the new songs from that were sung by the the 60,000 students that were in attendance last week. Burning Lights is Chris Tomlin's eighth studio album and it's full of great songs written for the church. Among the stand-out tracks on the album, we think you'll love "Awake My Soul" which features hip-hop Christian singer Lecrae and "Crown Him (Majesty)" which is a a new rendition of the traditional hymn "Crown Him With Many Crowns" featuring Gateway worship leader Kari Jobe. Of course the album also includes the recent single "Whom Shall I Fear (God of Angel Armies)" which has been one of the top songs in our catalog this month.  Check it out on iTunes today!

We just released three songs from Brenton Brown's album "Our God Is Near" including songs "God Is Mercy," "Glorious," and "Joyful (The One Who Saves)." Brenton is a great songwriter and worship leader and we're glad to add some of his songs to the catalog. Be sure to check out the song "Joyful (The One Who Saves)" which is an energetic rendition of the old hymn "Joyful, Joyful."

We recently released another group of songs from Bethel Music's album For The Sake Of The World including "To Our God," "Closer," and "Forgiven." These songs were clearly written from a team that is seeking God corporately and desiring His presence. One of our personal favorites is the song "To Our God," co-written with Jeremy Riddle, which speaks about lifting up one voice and has a great bridge calling us to "Make His Praise Glorious!" Check out a full list of songs from Bethel here.
