On today's episode of behind the spacebar. I want to share five of my

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:06.500
 favorite resources for able to live that are completely

2
00:00:06.500 --> 00:00:07.000
 free.

3
00:00:11.900 --> 00:00:14.100
Behind the spacebar. This is the podcast. This is

4
00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:17.600
 the video podcast of you're watching on YouTube for folks

5
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.500
 that use able to live on stage playback text Musicians music

6
00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:23.400
 directors, really anyone that performs on stage with

7
00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:26.300
 able to live. This is your first time welcome. If this

8
00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:29.300
 is your second third fourth, whatever time then walking back

9
00:00:29.300 --> 00:00:32.100
 so glad you're here today. Today's episode is gonna

10
00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:35.100
 be really Finance gonna cost you zero, right? Those are some of the

11
00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:38.400
 best episodes. So those are some of my favorite episodes to record

12
00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:41.500
 because they're great for your resources and again costs

13
00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:44.100
 you absolutely nothing. So let's dive in and let's

14
00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:47.400
 get started this number one resources. Probably my favorite which

15
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:51.200
 is why it's number one, right? It's a absolute essential

16
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.200
 utility that I use when I am on a

17
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.800
 gig when I get hired by someone to come in and set up

18
00:00:56.800 --> 00:00:59.900
 like a midi routing scenario for them. They

19
00:00:59.900 --> 00:01:02.400
 say Hey will we want you to set up I connectivity

20
00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:05.700
 rig we want you to set up able to live to control and

21
00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:08.700
 configure Pro Presenter. Whatever it is. This tool

22
00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:11.400
 has to be on every computer that I touch. This is mini

23
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:11.800
 monitor.

24
00:01:11.900 --> 00:01:14.300
Again, completely free. Here's how this works. Let me

25
00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:18.100
 actually open this up on my computer so you can see what you can see and

26
00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:21.600
 do with this is you can basically spy on outputs.

27
00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:23.300
 You can spy on inputs to see

28
00:01:23.300 --> 00:01:26.000
 where midi is coming from one computer to the

29
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.200
 next now, here's how I practically use this again. I install this on

30
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.200
 every computer every machine that I'm working on and I basically go.

31
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.200
 Okay. Ableton is trying to talk to resolume to

32
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.200
 send midi over admittee Network. It's not working. What do

33
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.300
 I do? Well, I go to my resident computer. I open mini monitor.

34
00:01:41.300 --> 00:01:44.900
 Is it even seen many from able to live? If no, then

35
00:01:44.900 --> 00:01:47.200
 I go back to the Ableton machine because I know it's something

36
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:50.500
 there or it's something between the connection between those two machines. This is

37
00:01:50.500 --> 00:01:53.500
 gonna help you figure out what the problem is and solve

38
00:01:53.500 --> 00:01:56.700
 it way faster than if you're just guessing I just

39
00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:59.200
 get so frustrated when I'm on gigs and

40
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.200
 people are just guessing as to what the solution is. This is one

41
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.700
 of those analytical tools that will help you really quickly solve and find

42
00:02:05.700 --> 00:02:08.500
 a solution, which is great. Okay, let's talk

43
00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:11.200
 about number two free resource. This is a

44
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:11.800
 little self-ind.

45
00:02:11.900 --> 00:02:14.100
And this is my free tracks template for

46
00:02:14.100 --> 00:02:17.400
 Ableton Live. So from Studio stage com slash template, so

47
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.200
 you can go to download this if you're running tracks and able to

48
00:02:20.200 --> 00:02:23.600
 live and you're not working from a template you're wasting time. I hate to tell you you're

49
00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:26.000
 wasting time you're redoing work. I have

50
00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:29.400
 a basic track symbol and advanced tracks template that you can buy and

51
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.200
 you can purchase but I want you to download my free tracks template guess

52
00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:35.500
 how much it costs. It's completely free. It's available

53
00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:38.200
 for able to live 9 Ableton Live 10 able to live

54
00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:43.100
 11. It works in intro standard and sweet and it

55
00:02:42.100 --> 00:02:45.100
 also works on PC or Mac. It just sits some

56
00:02:45.100 --> 00:02:48.700
 updates to solve some issues that folks on PC. We're having it's always

57
00:02:48.700 --> 00:02:51.400
 the folks on PC right just buy Mac and you

58
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.200
 won't have issues. I promise you. Well, you'll have issues but

59
00:02:54.200 --> 00:02:57.800
 at least not with your computer. Okay number three. So

60
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.300
 yes, please download my template number three one just

61
00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:04.600
 in general the figure 53 Studio Projects site is

62
00:03:04.600 --> 00:03:07.400
 incredible, but particularly on here. I want to point out lock

63
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.500
 step is a really cool utility that will

64
00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:11.600
 take incoming time.

65
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.900
Code and convert it to MTC timecode. If

66
00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:17.600
 you can only send a timecode over

67
00:03:17.600 --> 00:03:20.300
 an audio signal that's your only way to send simply timecode and

68
00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:23.100
 LTC but you need MTC and you can't

69
00:03:23.100 --> 00:03:26.300
 set up midi. This is a really cool solution to turn that

70
00:03:26.300 --> 00:03:29.200
 around now, I don't have time to explain this but I have set

71
00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:32.300
 up. Hypothetically. Well, I've actually set it up. It's just unfortunately didn't

72
00:03:32.300 --> 00:03:35.400
 work but there's a hypothetical scenario where you could

73
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.200
 send audio that's embedded on an audio file pull that off

74
00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:42.100
 that audio file and sync to other gear using A LTC

75
00:03:41.100 --> 00:03:44.400
 file you could also do this with midi and

76
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.600
 convert and turn that audio around to MIDI. I'm

77
00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:50.300
 even confused talking about it, but just trust me head over to

78
00:03:50.300 --> 00:03:53.900
 figure 53 site their Studio site download lockstep.

79
00:03:53.900 --> 00:03:56.600
 It's completely free and it generates

80
00:03:56.600 --> 00:03:59.400
 many time code for anything. You send it

81
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.100
 A LTC file and it generates midi time code, which is

82
00:04:02.100 --> 00:04:06.200
 really really great. Okay. I've got a Bonus pick for you here. If you

83
00:04:06.200 --> 00:04:09.400
 want a free resource that's gonna help you learn to use able to live then

84
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.600
 head to the from City of stage YouTube.

85
00:04:12.100 --> 00:04:15.400
Hit the Subscribe button and enable the Bell icon. In fact, maybe you're

86
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.200
 already watching this on YouTube. If so, hit that subscribe

87
00:04:18.200 --> 00:04:22.000
 button and able to Bell icon and let's keep going. Okay number

88
00:04:21.200 --> 00:04:24.800
 four resource again has to do with timecode

89
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.700
 has to do with sync stuff is live MTC from

90
00:04:27.700 --> 00:04:29.700
 showsync now I should mention.

91
00:04:30.500 --> 00:04:33.500
I should preface this by saying this does require Max

92
00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:36.000
 for live. So you've got to have able to live sweet you've got

93
00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:39.600
 to purchase Max or live is like a standalone thing. But either way

94
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.500
 if you have either of these this is such an incredible incredible tool

95
00:04:42.500 --> 00:04:46.200
 live MTC. Well, essentially generate MTC

96
00:04:45.200 --> 00:04:48.300
 many time code from able

97
00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:51.300
 to live from you're able to live session using this little Max for

98
00:04:51.300 --> 00:04:54.100
 live device. And then this like bridge I think they call

99
00:04:54.100 --> 00:04:58.100
 it. Yeah MTC bridge that basically converts the the transport

100
00:04:57.100 --> 00:05:00.300
 position of where you are. So

101
00:05:00.300 --> 00:05:04.200
 I'm at you know measure one beat to eighth note

102
00:05:04.200 --> 00:05:07.500
 3, whatever it is it translates that translate that

103
00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:10.300
 into midi time code information and this is super powerful

104
00:05:10.300 --> 00:05:13.700
 in your if you're in a automation scenario if you're working with

105
00:05:13.700 --> 00:05:15.300
 the software that will receive

106
00:05:16.200 --> 00:05:19.100
And accept many timecode and you're in a scenario

107
00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:20.400
 where you can set up many timecode.

108
00:05:21.100 --> 00:05:24.600
This is such a great solution. It's completely free. I I don't

109
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.300
 understand how so show sync offers this for

110
00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:30.300
 free, but they do and it's really really incredible. So

111
00:05:30.300 --> 00:05:33.900
 if you're looking to send many timecode from Ableton Live then please

112
00:05:33.900 --> 00:05:36.400
 check out live MTC again completely for

113
00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:39.300
 free. Okay Final Solution here again. I'm gonna be self

114
00:05:39.300 --> 00:05:42.400
 indulgent one more time. We're gonna stick with this automation theme,

115
00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:45.100
 we've got a good flow here to wrap up this episode

116
00:05:45.100 --> 00:05:48.100
 again. This is a shorter episode, but I'm giving you

117
00:05:48.100 --> 00:05:51.200
 a lot of free resources here. So the final thing here is

118
00:05:51.200 --> 00:05:54.300
 my free time code template. You can head it from CDs stage

119
00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:58.400
 com slash template our excuse me for Studio stage.com slash timecode.

120
00:05:57.400 --> 00:06:00.300
 So many free resources. In

121
00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:03.100
 fact just headed from csh.com slash for you to get all the

122
00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:06.600
 resources, but for today, I want to promote from Studio to

123
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.300
 stage.com slash timecode if you want

124
00:06:09.300 --> 00:06:12.500
 to use timecode in Ableton Live LTC time

125
00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:16.300
 code, then you should head to from csh.com/time code

126
00:06:16.300 --> 00:06:19.600
 download this free template. Here's what you get you get

127
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.000
 time code at 23.

128
00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:25.300
9824-25-29.97 29.97 drop

129
00:06:24.300 --> 00:06:25.700
 frame

130
00:06:26.200 --> 00:06:29.400
take a deep breath or still not done 30 30 drop frame

131
00:06:29.400 --> 00:06:32.500
 all the frame rates that included and you get an hour of time code starting

132
00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:35.400
 at hour one in each of those files. So you get

133
00:06:35.400 --> 00:06:38.600
 a zip file with seven one hour long 48k 16

134
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.900
 bit wave file. So if you're using LTC in

135
00:06:41.900 --> 00:06:44.200
 any performance timecode, simply LTC in any

136
00:06:44.200 --> 00:06:48.100
 performance had it from Studio sage.com slash timecode to

137
00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:50.400
 download this free timecode file. And again

138
00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:54.200
 just as a reminder. If you're looking for another great free resource to

139
00:06:53.200 --> 00:06:56.600
 learn how to use able to live then head to

140
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.800
 the YouTube channel for from Studio to Stage hit

141
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.400
 the Subscribe button and able to Bell icon if you already watching on

142
00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:05.600
 YouTube Just Give Me a thumbs up. Give me a like say hey

143

 in the comments. I know a lot of you watch more of you.

144
00:07:08.200 --> 00:07:11.300
 I think actually watch on YouTube then listen on Apple podcasts, which

145
00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:14.100
 is great. I love it. Just say hey over in the comments. Let me

146
00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:17.700
 know that you're watching and let me know what your favorite resource for

147
00:07:17.700 --> 00:07:20.500
 able to live is let's say free. What is

148
00:07:20.500 --> 00:07:23.200
 your favorite free resource or able to live we get

149
00:07:23.200 --> 00:07:25.700
 enough of those? Maybe we'll come back and do a part to

150
00:07:26.200 --> 00:07:29.200
Episode for this. Thanks so much for watching. Thanks so much for listening.
