I can't see it happening any other way .. that's just my $02, though! For the Kingdom, Fred McKinnon www.fredmckinnon.com www.theworshipcommunity.com Merlin,

I am a worship leader/Asst. Pastor for a non-denom. small church. In order to compensate for the lack of musicians, I have been using a Korg IX-300, that has a built in back up band, and 4 variations per musical style. I have used it for years now, and it is getting really redundant. The same lead ins, fills, and styles. I would love to try something new and fresh with good capabilities, but I am not a gear head anymore. Abelton live sounds like just what I need, but what kind of learning curve does it have? Is it supported good, with musician understandable manuals? I have never looped anything before that wasn't an airplane, are they easy to create? Are there professionally created loops ready to be used available? Any help or insight would be really great, and appreciated! Are in ear monitors possible without a sound man? could the sound be run by a laptop on stage that may be running the Abelton Live program, or would that be too hairy to set up? (don't have a soundman either) Is Abelton a Mac or PC program? Thanks again for any ideas and help. I Love the Lord and I really Love to Worship and Praise Him, and I want to build the Kingdom!

Thanks for jumping in on the conversation. I completely agree with you - criticism does always bring up heart issues, and thus a good relationship with your team members is very important. For the youth, I have had the opportunity to work with the same group of musicians over the past 2 years, and not only have we really come to understand each other musically, but have great relationships that allow very healthy criticism. It's a good place to be. Ultimately, a relationship has to be there before you start telling people how to change how they do things! Hey Brad! Thanks for jumping in on the conversation.

We use a click with everything too! It not only keeps the band locked in to a VERY nice pocket, but it enables the use of other technologies beyond loops, as well. We play along to a lot of custom made video pieces that our media guys produce - without being able to lock into a click, we would be way out sequence with the video. It is a delicate situation whenever you have to address areas of improvement with team members. We have made evaluation and healthy critique a part of our teams culture from the beginning - so it is expected that team members will always be getting pats on the back when the nail it and helpful suggestions when they miss it. Ultimately, anytime we receive criticism it points to heart issues. If the person receiving the criticism takes it as a personal attack, then it highlights an area of growth needed in that persons life. However, this doesn't excuse the one giving the criticism to not do it in a constructive way. Brad Loser www.thinkworship.com Huge DITTO on using a click to play live.
