  list,
• 0:11
  which
• 0:11
  is
• 0:11
  a
• 0:12
  huge
• 0:12
  thing.
• 0:12
  You
• 0:13
  could
• 0:13
  see
• 0:13
  the
• 0:14
  songs
• 0:14
  and
• 0:14
  the
• 0:15
  song
• 0:15
  sections
• 0:16
  and
• 0:16
  with
• 0:17
  basically
• 0:17
  remotely
• 0:18
  have
• 0:19
  the
• 0:19
  ability
• 0:19
  to
• 0:20
  control
• 0:21
  what
• 0:21
  song
• 0:21
  you're
• 0:21
  going
• 0:22
  to
• 0:22
  next.
• 0:22
  Rearrange
• 0:23
  your
• 0:23
  set
• 0:23
  list
• 0:23
  in
• 0:23
  real
• 0:24
  time
• 0:24
  and
• 0:24
  all
• 0:25
  these
• 0:25
  other
• 0:25
  cool
• 0:25
  things
• 0:26
  that
• 0:26
  didn't
• 0:26
  previously
• 0:27
  previously
• 0:27
  exist.
• 0:29
  That's
• 0:29
  just
• 0:29
  one
• 0:30
  big
• 0:30
  one.
• 0:30
  I'm
• 0:30
  going
• 0:30
  to
• 0:30
  let
• 0:30
  you
• 0:31
  keep
• 0:31
  going.
• 0:31
  So
• 0:32
  after
• 0:32
  you
• 0:32
  kind
• 0:33
  of
• 0:33
  figured
• 0:33
  that
• 0:34
  part
• 0:34
  out,
• 0:34
  it
• 0:34
  didn't
• 0:35
  stop.
• 0:36
  Where
• 0:37
  did
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  trail
• 0:38
  lead
• 0:38
  you
• 0:38
  to
• 0:38
  next?
• 0:40
  I
• 0:40
  think
• 0:40
  the
• 0:41
  next
• 0:41
  big
• 0:42
  issue
• 0:42
  I
• 0:42
  wanted
• 0:42
  to
• 0:43
  tackle
• 0:43
  is
• 0:43
  the
• 0:43
  ability
• 0:44
  to
• 0:45
  change
• 0:45
  the
• 0:45
  set
• 0:46
  list
• 0:46
  kind
• 0:46
  of
• 0:46
  on
• 0:46
  the
• 0:46
  fly,
• 0:48
  because
• 0:48
  that
• 0:48
  was
• 0:49
  one
• 0:49
  of
• 0:49
  the
• 0:49
  big
• 0:49
  issues
• 0:49
  I
• 0:49
  found
• 0:50
  as
• 0:50
  well.
• 0:50
  We
• 0:50
  have
• 0:51
  one
• 0:51
  huge
• 0:52
  timeline
• 0:52
  with
• 0:52
  all
• 0:53
  the
• 0:53
  songs
• 0:53
  in
• 0:53
  Ableton.
• 0:54
  And
• 0:54
  then
• 0:54
  when
• 0:55
  you
• 0:55
  want
• 0:55
  to
• 0:55
  change
• 0:55
  the
• 0:55
  order,
• 0:56
  you
• 0:57
  know,
• 0:57
  how
• 0:57
  do
• 0:57
  you
• 0:57
  approach
• 0:57
  that?
• 0:57
  Do
• 0:58
  you
• 0:58
  just,
• 0:58
  like,
• 0:59
  move
• 0:59
  clips
• 0:59
  around
• 1:00
  in
• 1:00
  the
• 1:00
  timeline?
• 1:00
  Then
• 1:01
  you
• 1:01
  might
• 1:01
  run
• 1:01
  into
• 1:01
  issues
• 1:02
  with
• 1:02
  the
• 1:02
  tempo
• 1:02
  automation
• 1:03
  and
• 1:03
  stuff
• 1:03
  like
• 1:03
  that.
• 1:05
  Yeah,
• 1:06
  very
• 1:06
  scary.
• 1:06
  Exactly.
• 1:08
  So
• 1:09
  that
• 1:09
  was
• 1:09
  one
• 1:09
  of
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  issues
• 1:10
  I
• 1:10
  wanted
• 1:10
  to
• 1:10
  tackle
• 1:10
  as
• 1:11
  well.
• 1:11
  To
• 1:11
  make
• 1:11
  it
• 1:11
  as
• 1:11
  easy
• 1:12
  as
• 1:12
  possible
• 1:12
  to
• 1:12
  just
• 1:13
  be
• 1:13
  like,
• 1:13
  you
• 1:13
  know,
• 1:14
  today
• 1:14
  we
• 1:15
  want
• 1:15
  to
• 1:15
  switch
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  order
• 1:15
  of
• 1:15
  songs
• 1:16
  around
• 1:16
  or
• 1:17
  we
• 1:17
  don't
• 1:17
  have
• 1:17
  enough
• 1:17
  time
• 1:17
  for
• 1:18
  this
• 1:18
  one
• 1:18
  song.
• 1:19
  Let's.
• 1:19
  Let's
• 1:19
  just
• 1:19
  cut
• 1:19
  it
• 1:20
  out
• 1:20
  of
• 1:20
  the
• 1:20
  set
• 1:20
  list.
• 1:21
  Right.
• 1:22
  And
• 1:23
  so
• 1:23
  that
• 1:23
  was,
• 1:23
  I
• 1:24
  think,
• 1:24
  the.
• 1:24
  The
• 1:24
  next
• 1:25
  feature
• 1:25
  I.
• 1:25
  I
• 1:26
  was
• 1:26
  working
• 1:26
  on
• 1:26
  with
• 1:26
  Ableset.
• 1:28
  Big.
• 1:28
  It
• 1:28
  sounds
• 1:29
  so
• 1:29
  simple
• 1:29
  now
• 1:30
  that
• 1:30
  you've
• 1:30
  just
• 1:30
  explained
• 1:31
  it,
• 1:31
  like,
• 1:31
  because
• 1:31
  you've
• 1:31
  done
• 1:31
  it.
• 1:32
  I
• 1:32
  guess
• 1:32
  so
• 1:32
  now,
• 1:33
  now
• 1:33
  that
• 1:33
  I
• 1:33
  could
• 1:34
  see
• 1:34
  it.
• 1:34
  But
• 1:34
  Tariki,
• 1:35
  you
• 1:35
  were
• 1:35
  on.
• 1:35
  You.
• 1:35
  You
• 1:36
  were
• 1:36
  on
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  tour
• 1:37
  and
• 1:37
  we
• 1:37
  know
• 1:37
  you.
• 1:38
  We
• 1:38
  ran
• 1:38
  into
• 1:38
  some
• 1:39
  not
• 1:39
  really
• 1:40
  issues,
• 1:40
  but
• 1:40
  there
• 1:40
  were
• 1:40
  times
• 1:41
  where,
• 1:41
  like,
• 1:41
  it
• 1:41
  would
• 1:41
  have
• 1:42
  been
• 1:42
  nice
• 1:42
  to
• 1:42
  be
• 1:42
  able
• 1:42
  to
• 1:43
  just
• 1:43
  reorder
• 1:44
  the
• 1:44
  set
• 1:44
  or
• 1:45
  take
• 1:45
  a
• 1:45
  song
• 1:45
  out
• 1:46
  or
• 1:46
  even
• 1:47
  skip
• 1:48
  to
• 1:48
  a
• 1:48
  song
• 1:48
  section.
• 1:49
  Yeah,
• 1:50
  yeah.
• 1:50
  So
• 1:50
  I'm
• 1:51
  gonna
• 1:51
  jump
• 1:51
  ahead
• 1:51
  if
• 1:51
  it's
• 1:51
  okay,
• 1:52
  Leo.
• 1:53
  And
• 1:53
  that
• 1:53
  was
• 1:53
  another
• 1:54
  big
• 1:54
  thing.
• 1:54
  So
• 1:54
  with
• 1:54
  Ableton,
• 1:55
  one
• 1:56
  of
• 1:56
  the
• 1:56
  things
• 1:56
  was,
• 1:57
  say
• 1:58
  you're
• 1:58
  on
• 1:58
  the
• 1:58
  verse
• 1:58
  and
• 1:59
  you
• 1:59
  wanted
• 1:59
  to
• 1:59
  be
• 1:59
  able
• 1:59
  to
• 2:00
  skip
• 2:00
  the
• 2:00
  chorus
• 2:00
  and
• 2:01
  go
• 2:01
  to
• 2:01
  the
• 2:01
  bridge.
• 2:02
  You
• 2:02
  had
• 2:02
  to
• 2:02
  be
• 2:03
  like,
• 2:05
  almost
• 2:05
  surgical
• 2:06
  with
• 2:06
  your
• 2:06
  timing,
• 2:07
  with
• 2:07
  your
• 2:07
  timing
• 2:08
  and
• 2:08
  precision
• 2:09
  to
• 2:09
  be
• 2:09
  able
• 2:09
  to
• 2:10
  hit
• 2:10
  that
• 2:11
  bridge
• 2:11
  marker
• 2:12
  within.
• 2:12
  Usually
• 2:13
  it's
• 2:13
  quantized
• 2:13
  so
• 2:13
  within
• 2:14
  a
• 2:14
  bar
• 2:14
  to
• 2:14
  be
• 2:15
  able
• 2:15
  to
• 2:15
  start
• 2:15
  it
• 2:15
  at
• 2:15
  that
• 2:16
  time.
• 2:16
  Otherwise
• 2:17
  you're
• 2:18
  screwed.
• 2:19
  You're
• 2:19
  gonna
• 2:19
  lose
• 2:19
  a
• 2:19
  whole
• 2:20
  bar
• 2:20
  or.
• 2:21
  Or
• 2:21
  add
• 2:21
  a
• 2:21
  bar.
• 2:22
  And
• 2:23
  another
• 2:24
  thing
• 2:24
  that
• 2:24
  you
• 2:24
  were
• 2:25
  able
• 2:25
  to
• 2:25
  do
• 2:25
  so
• 2:26
  I'm
• 2:26
  going
• 2:26
  to
• 2:26
  kind
• 2:27
  of,
• 2:27
  if
• 2:27
  you
• 2:27
  don't
• 2:27
  mind,
• 2:28
  I'll
• 2:28
  talk
• 2:28
  about
• 2:28
  what
• 2:29
  I
• 2:29
  found
• 2:29
  with
• 2:30
  that
• 2:30
  feature
• 2:30
  that
• 2:31
  you
• 2:31
  added.
• 2:32
  So.
• 2:32
  And
• 2:32
  I
• 2:32
  might
• 2:32
  miss.
• 2:33
  So
• 2:33
  basically,
• 2:35
  you
• 2:35
  could
• 2:35
  now
• 2:36
  jump
• 2:36
  to
• 2:36
  the
• 2:37
  next
• 2:37
  section,
• 2:37
  no
• 2:38
  problem,
• 2:39
  or
• 2:39
  you
• 2:39
  could
• 2:39
  choose
• 2:40
  to
• 2:40
  jump
• 2:40
  to
• 2:40
  the
• 2:40
  next
• 2:40
  song,
• 2:41
  no
• 2:41
  problem.
• 2:41
  Right.
• 2:43
  Did
• 2:44
  you
• 2:44
  add
• 2:44
  some
• 2:44
  more
• 2:45
  in
• 2:45
  that?
• 2:48
  I
• 2:48
  think
• 2:49
  those
• 2:49
  are
• 2:49
  the
• 2:50
  two
• 2:50
  main
• 2:50
  ones.
• 2:51
  Game
• 2:51
  changers,
• 2:52
  though.
• 2:53
  There's
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  ability
• 2:55
  to
• 2:55
  dynamically
• 2:56
  loop
• 2:56
  the
• 2:57
  current
• 2:57
  section,
• 2:58
  which
• 2:58
  is
• 2:58
  also
• 2:59
  something
• 2:59
  we
• 2:59
  found
• 3:01
  for
• 3:01
  our
• 3:01
  own
• 3:02
  band
• 3:02
  to
• 3:02
  be
• 3:02
  very
• 3:02
  helpful,
• 3:03
  especially
• 3:04
  if
• 3:04
  you
• 3:04
  have
• 3:04
  some
• 3:04
  parts
• 3:05
  where
• 3:05
  you
• 3:05
  want
• 3:06
  to
• 3:06
  maybe
• 3:06
  improvise
• 3:06
  a
• 3:07
  little
• 3:07
  bit
• 3:07
  or
• 3:07
  just
• 3:08
  you're
• 3:08
  not
• 3:08
  sure
• 3:08
  how
• 3:08
  long
• 3:08
  it
• 3:09
  takes,
• 3:09
  especially
• 3:10
  if
• 3:11
  you
• 3:11
  want
• 3:11
  to
• 3:11
  be
• 3:11
  a
• 3:11
  bit
• 3:11
  more
• 3:12
  interactive
• 3:12
  with
• 3:12
  the
• 3:13
  audience.
• 3:14
  We
• 3:14
  found
• 3:14
  that
• 3:14
  this
• 3:15
  is
• 3:15
  like
• 3:16
  a
• 3:16
  super
• 3:16
  important
• 3:17
  feature
• 3:17
  to
• 3:18
  have.
• 3:19
  Yeah,
• 3:19
  yeah.
• 3:20
  And
• 3:20
  you
• 3:20
  know
• 3:20
  what's
• 3:20
  funny,
• 3:21
  because
• 3:21
  we
• 3:22
  even
• 3:22
  had
• 3:22
  an
• 3:22
  outro.
• 3:23
  So,
• 3:23
  Drake,
• 3:23
  you
• 3:23
  remember
• 3:24
  we
• 3:24
  had
• 3:24
  a
• 3:24
  big
• 3:24
  outro
• 3:24
  for
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  show
• 3:25
  and
• 3:26
  it
• 3:26
  was
• 3:26
  like
• 3:26
  set
• 3:27
  to
• 3:27
  time
• 3:27
  and
• 3:27
  we
• 3:27
  couldn't
• 3:28
  really
• 3:28
  loop
• 3:29
  it.
• 3:29
  So
• 3:29
  it
• 3:29
  was
• 3:29
  like,
• 3:30
  even
• 3:30
  if
• 3:30
  we
• 3:30
  wanted
• 3:30
  to
• 3:30
  add
• 3:31
  some
• 3:31
  more
• 3:31
  solos
• 3:31
  or
• 3:32
  something,
• 3:32
  it
• 3:32
  was
• 3:32
  like,
• 3:32
  well,
• 3:33
  it's
• 3:33
  done.
• 3:33
  So
• 3:34
  we're
• 3:34
  on
• 3:34
  our
• 3:34
  own
• 3:34
  now
• 3:34
  if
• 3:34
  you
• 3:35
  want
• 3:35
  to
• 3:35
  do
• 3:35
  that.
• 3:36
  And
• 3:36
  then
• 3:37
  we
• 3:37
  found
• 3:37
  a
• 3:37
  looper,
• 3:38
  which
• 3:38
  was
• 3:38
  cool
• 3:38
  because
• 3:39
  you
• 3:39
  could
• 3:39
  loop
• 3:39
  the
• 3:39
  section.
• 3:40
  The
• 3:40
  big
• 3:41
  problem
• 3:41
  was
• 3:41
  if
• 3:42
  you
• 3:42
  were,
• 3:42
  say,
• 3:43
  at
• 3:43
  the.
• 3:44
  Whatever
• 3:45
  part
• 3:45
  of
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  song.
• 3:45
  So
• 3:45
  say
• 3:46
  you're
• 3:46
  going,
• 3:46
  you're
• 3:46
  looping
• 3:46
  the
• 3:47
  chorus,
• 3:48
  but
• 3:48
  the
• 3:48
  next
• 3:48
  section
• 3:49
  was
• 3:49
  back
• 3:49
  to
• 3:49
  a
• 3:49
  verse.
• 3:50
  It
• 3:50
  would
• 3:51
  keep
• 3:51
  saying
• 3:51
  verse
• 3:51
  and
• 3:52
  counting
• 3:52
  in
• 3:52
  verse
• 3:53
  because
• 3:53
  you're
• 3:53
  looping
• 3:53
  that
• 3:54
  section
• 3:54
  with
• 3:54
  the
• 3:54
  Q
• 3:54
  at
• 3:55
  the
• 3:55
  end
• 3:55
  that
• 3:55
  should
• 3:56
  be
• 3:56
  going
• 3:56
  to
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  next
• 3:57
  section.
• 3:57
  So
• 3:58
  if
• 3:58
  you
• 3:58
  could.
• 3:58
  Could
• 3:58
  you
• 3:59
  explain.
• 3:59
  That's
• 4:00
  the
• 4:00
  dynamic
• 4:00
  loop,
• 4:01
  right?
• 4:01
  Being
• 4:02
  able
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  alter
• 4:03
  that.
• 4:04
  Yeah,
• 4:04
  exactly.
• 4:05
  So
• 4:06
  there's
• 4:07
  a
• 4:07
  feature
• 4:07
  that
• 4:08
  allows
• 4:08
  you
• 4:08
  to
• 4:08
  tell
• 4:08
  Ableset,
• 4:09
  like,
• 4:10
  this
• 4:10
  is
• 4:10
  the.
• 4:11
  The
• 4:11
  guide
• 4:11
  track.
• 4:12
  And
• 4:13
  as
• 4:14
  Ableset
• 4:14
  now
• 4:14
  knows,
• 4:15
  okay,
• 4:15
  this
• 4:15
  track
• 4:16
  will
• 4:16
  announce
• 4:16
  the
• 4:16
  next
• 4:17
  section.
• 4:17
  If
• 4:17
  you
• 4:18
  are
• 4:18
  currently
• 4:18
  in
• 4:18
  a
• 4:18
  loop
• 4:19
  or
• 4:19
  like
• 4:19
  looping
• 4:20
  the
• 4:20
  current
• 4:20
  section,
• 4:21
  that
• 4:21
  track
• 4:21
  will
• 4:22
  automatically
• 4:22
  be
• 4:22
  muted
• 4:23
  so
• 4:23
  you
• 4:23
  don't
• 4:23
  get
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  wrong
• 4:24
  count
• 4:24
  in
• 4:25
  or
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  wrong
• 4:26
  guide.
• 4:27
  And
• 4:27
  in
• 4:27
  addition
• 4:27
  to
• 4:28
  that,
• 4:28
  you
• 4:28
  can
• 4:29
  create
• 4:29
  a
• 4:29
  second
• 4:29
  track
• 4:30
  that
• 4:30
  is
• 4:30
  kind
• 4:30
  of
• 4:30
  a
• 4:31
  loop
• 4:31
  guide
• 4:32
  that
• 4:32
  allows
• 4:33
  you
• 4:33
  to
• 4:34
  add
• 4:34
  something
• 4:35
  like
• 4:35
  repeat
• 4:36
  or
• 4:37
  something.
• 4:37
  Just
• 4:38
  announcing
• 4:38
  that
• 4:38
  we
• 4:38
  are
• 4:39
  not
• 4:39
  finished
• 4:40
  with
• 4:40
  the
• 4:40
  section,
• 4:40
  we
• 4:41
  are
• 4:41
  going
• 4:41
  to
• 4:41
  jump
• 4:41
  back
• 4:42
  to
• 4:42
  the
• 4:42
  beginning.
• 4:43
  And
• 4:44
  if
• 4:44
  you
• 4:44
  are
• 4:44
  in
• 4:44
  a
• 4:45
  loop,
• 4:45
  then
• 4:45
  that
• 4:46
  track
• 4:46
  gets
• 4:46
  unmuted
• 4:47
  while
• 4:48
  the
• 4:48
  loop
• 4:49
  track
• 4:49
  or
• 4:50
  while
• 4:50
  the
• 4:50
  original
• 4:50
  guy
• 4:51
  track
• 4:51
  gets
• 4:51
  muted.
• 4:52
  Yes.
• 4:53
  Crazy
• 4:54
  insane
• 4:55
  stuff.
• 4:55
  And
• 4:56
  when
• 4:56
  you
• 4:56
  think
• 4:56
  about
• 4:57
  all
• 4:57
  of
• 4:58
  the
• 4:58
  little
• 4:58
  details
• 4:58
  that
• 4:59
  he's
• 4:59
  kind
• 4:59
  of,
• 5:00
  you
• 5:00
  know,
• 5:00
  all
• 5:00
  of
• 5:01
  the
• 5:01
  solutions
• 5:01
  to
• 5:02
  the
• 5:02
  problems
• 5:02
  that,
• 5:02
  you
• 5:02
  know,
• 5:03
  Anthony,
• 5:03
  like
• 5:04
  yourself
• 5:04
  and
• 5:04
  other
• 5:04
  people
• 5:05
  have
• 5:05
  experienced.
