Learn step-by-step how to add guide cues to your Ableton Live file so your band will always be on the same page.
They go by many names — guide cues, slate tracks, cues. But whatever you call them, they can help you and your band stay on the same page and avoid those “Oh crap what’s happening next” moments that inevitably happen on stage.
Adding them to Ableton is easier than you think if you have the right resources, and I’m going to show you exactly how in this video. Here’s what we’ll cover:
-Why you need to use click
-Adding guide cues
-Placing guide cues throughout your file
-Using count-ins
-Routing your guide cues
PS. I used to think using guide cues was cheating. And it kind of is, honestly. But if it makes your band stay together and sound tighter…why wouldn’t you use them?
PPS. Leave a comment and let me know if you’re using guide cues and how they help your band.
