Preparing for the Pivot-Conversation with Alex Jacques pt. 1 Apr 20, 2020

Show notes

Imagine for a moment you've landed your dream gig. You're on the road for a few months when suddenly you've got to pivot. Adapt or lose the gig. What do you do?

This week I chat with Alex Jacques, Playback Tech for artists like Janelle Monae, Her, and many others. We discuss his unlikely path to becoming a musician, and how he handled the pivot from musician to playback tech.

This week begins a 4-week series of interviews with From Studio to Stage students to hear how they use Ableton Live on stage.

What Musicians can Learn about Live Streaming from Gamers Apr 13, 2020

Show notes

Everyone is talking about Live Streaming. The past few weeks have forced us all to learn how to do it. But we are all making a huge mistake when it comes to Live Streaming.

We're only talking about the technical.

How do we setup our camera? How do we use OBS?

We're missing a lot of the streaming "soft skills" required to have a successful stream. While we're all learning how to do this, gamers have been doing it for years.

In this episode I talk with Matt Salsamendi, co-founder of Mixer, a live streaming service for gamers, now owned by Microsoft. We discuss what bands and artists can learn from gamers.

How can we keep people engaged?
Should we try and monetize our streams?
How do we improve our streams?

If you're looking to take your live streams to the next level, save yourself years of mistakes and start implementing Matt's suggestions today!

MainStage who?? Ableton Live is the best platform for using keys live. In this episode I explain why the transition to Ableton for keys is easier than you think, why you should do it, and a few things to keep in mind when you do.

Playback Academy is hitting the web!

Playback Academy is going virtual! For the sake and safety of everyone attending, we're moving Playback Academy online for a virtual hands-on experience. It will be held over Zoom on March 27/28 from 10am-4pm CT and is limited to 10 people. Since it's over Zoom that means: -You'll be able to share your video (so we can see you) -Share you audio (so we can hear you) -Share your Ableton session (so we can see it) -Share you Ableton audio (so we can hear it) and -I'll be able to remotely control your computer so I'll be able to teach you on YOUR computer.

PLUS: you'll get a recording of each session after the event ends.

I'm super excited for this event and how it's shaping up-online. I've also lowered the price to make it more accessible and current students can save even more! (Check your inbox for the code)
