Ad Hoc Properties | Liberty Church Lightkey Tutorial Part 6

A series of videos designed to train our volunteers and staff on the Lightkey lighting software. A lot of the details in these videos are specific to us as a church, but I left them public in case they can benefit anyone else looking to learn how to effectively use the software.

isnt there priority numbers to override vs averaging

Yo! I watched all your videos, and implemented everything at my church! So thank you so much! Our quality has jumped significantly.
Im running into issues with the "song list" being downloaded to ableton every time I download the updated song list. (Ableton triggers our lights)
Now that i have like 25 pre made songs, my ableton guy says he cant just download "sunday service"
Found a work around of making a whole new session every sunday with out the song list on the session. But It seems like there should be an easier work around lol.
Is this why i should use propresentor to trigger instead?😂 or am should ableton work and we are just missing something.

I'm not sure I totally follow what your saying here, but I usually build out each song in Ableton in its own project file, so I would add my cues and midi notes to the song file, then drag that song file into the weekly Ableton project to build my Sunday set. This way I only have to add midi cues and tempo tracks etc. one time per song.
In Lightkey, you could assign the starting cue of each song with a unique midi note that ableton can trigger, and then have ableton simply hit the Play button in Lightkey at the appropriate time.
So for instance, if you have 2 songs in your set, the first song's set cue could be assigned to a D#2, and the second song could be assigned to a D2, and the play button to a C-1.
In Ableton, the first song would have a midi note that sends a D#2 to fire the first song's lights, then through out the song it would have a bunch of notes sending a C-1 to play the next cue in the song.
When it gets to song 2, it would fire a D2 note to fire the lights for the second song, and then C-1 again to hit the play button and advance the light cues at the appropriate time.
All that is a bit awkward to explain in a comment, but I hope that helps point you in the right direction!
These days I have actually moved everything over to timecode, so I am no longer using Midi for automation purposes, but I can help find a solution if you need any other help!
