How to create a worship set of multiple songs in Ableton Live

Learn how I combine 2-3 songs in Ableton Live into one worship set, where each song flows seamlessly into the next.
If you're like most Ableton Live users, you typically organize your songs as separate files. Here's how you build a set list or play list (in arrangement view) of several songs that transition from one into the next.
This video covers:
1. How I organize my files in Ableton Live
2. How to change the tempo at a specific place on the timeline
3. How I splice audio files and move them around the timeline
4. How to import one Ableton file into another
5. How to make the transition between songs seamless

VERY helpful video for new ableton live users like myself utilizing multi tracks for worship. Thanks for your time and detailed instructions.

Thanks for this video! I'm in a situation where I have two different songs, back to back, that don't necessarily need to move seamlessly, but I don't have a lot of time in between to wait on Ableton to load the two different sets. This video saved the day! Thanks again!

Thank you, Dave, for a great video! I have one question about adding additional songs. I notice that all of my markers for the 2nd song are gone. Is there a way to add additional songs while maintaining the arrangement markers? Thanks!

Wow...thank you!!!

Hi Dave. Excellent video! Helped a lot! I wanted to ask one question. I am having some trouble nailing the click track automation. How did you add a third song. It seems that I can only automate two tempos and then I can't find a way to add a different tempo for the third song onwards. As soon as I change tempo automation it changes the first two tempos.

Hi Dave thanks for the info! Is this possible when in session view? Is it possible to create a "greeting" time where it infinitely loops in session view? Thanks!

[@dalekratt2170]

Hey Dave, just learning Ableton. LIked the video, very helpful. I am learning to edit and configure in both session and arrangement views. In your example the time signatures are all the same. 1. Are you all actually using the click with in ear monitors or not?2. Can the change in BPM be done by using the Ableton metronome?3. Can the actual time signitures be changed, say from 4/4 to 3/4 or 6/8? In one set I am transitioning from "He Reigns" 4/4 to "Good Good Father" which is in 6/8.

Dave do you have or know of the easist way to just make setlists with say just sounds for a multi keyboard softsynth set up.... I have to keyboards plus kontakt 5 i just want to be able to set my splits and sound layers with the hardware and softsynths and then have ableton recall the saved setup for a pericular song..... hope thats clear.... thanks and God Bless Joe

Hi Dave, I appreciate you making this video, it is very helpful as I put together our clicks and stems for Christmas! One question: how do you make your "guides"? I've been using the free pack of vocal cues from loop community, but that pack is missing certain cues that I'd like to have, such as "choir in!" or "key change". I'm wondering how yours work.

I'm brand new to abelton! I can't even figure out how to get music from my hard drive to abelton! can anyone help me with this?!

[@ricardocontente1607]

Hi Dave! What about the locators for each further song? Is it possible to bring the locators with each song, or are they just part of the project file?

[@javydlrosa]

Intro version of ableton only is 8 scenes limit. is it per song or per a performance ( a set list of many songs) thanks. Im undecide wich version better for me. thanks great tutorial

[@jerrybatey]

Hello, Dave. Loved this tutorial when it came out. However, I’ve upgraded to Live 10, and I can’t find the Mixer/tempo mapping boxes. Any help with that?

[@kalebdepestel3752]

Hi. Just wondering where you get this tracks. Do you record them yourself or do you buy them online and if you do where do you prefer? Thanks.
