If you look at the right hand side, where the Scene section is, you can see a Macro control in which you can rename the scene to the title of the song. The way in which this is organised signifies that each row is one song. They are to be considered as each their own unit and present themselves with a small triangle to their left which allows you to launch the individual clip. When looking at your screen in session view, you can identify two main areas, clips and scenes.Ĭlips are small rectangular boxes contained within your vertical column or track. Session View is quite interesting, especially for live playback sets because it allows you to work with individual clips for each song and trigger them in any order you wish, non linearly, mixing and matching options if you wanted to create and improvise, or still in order using Scenes, for a more traditional playback rig. Today I will walk you through how to create and optimise a set for your own concert by using as an example a playback set that I created for the French trap pop artist ARAE.Ībleton Live gives the possibility of working in two main frames: Arrangement View, which is the classic linear timeline with each track stacked and a transport that starts from left to right, linearly, or Session View. The reason is very simple: the development team at Ableton has always had live performance as their priority when implementing new features and they have designed a software that is incredibly powerful yet very easy to use that will allow anyone to create a playback set for their concert. In the last few years, Pro Tools, which used to be the industry standard for live playback sets (and still is in some instances for large TV shows such as the Grammy’s, the BET Awards etc…), has been replaced by Ableton Live for the great majority of music tours, and live shows. Each software has its pros and drawbacks. We live in an era where digital music making has never been so accessible to most people and there are many different options for Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) in which your playback set could be built.
