What you actually get
A MultiTracks download is built to be compatible with everything, which means it arrives with almost nothing. Here's the gap BuildAble closes.
The download
- A Live 8 session
- Stems in a folder
- A tempo map
- Section locators
- Recorded click and guide audio
What BuildAble builds
- A Live 12 session, ready to play
- A real MIDI click, tuned to your sounds, your pitches, meter-aware
- Spoken guide cues, placed and named
- Section markers, colored, with your notes
- Lyrics and chord lanes for AbleSet
- Every stem grouped, named, and routed
- OSC commands that fire from the arrangement
- Your AbleSet template, carried in
It listens to the guide track
The guide lane is built in three layers. The count-in and the section cues come from things the song knows, its meter and its locators, so they can't be wrong.
The performance cues build, drums in, all in, hits, are found by listening to your song's own guide stem: matched against the pack's recordings by audio fingerprint, and transcribed by on-device speech.
What lands on the lane is what the guide actually says. Anything it hears but can't name is handed to you to label, and once you label it, it recognizes it forever.
Nothing leaves your Mac.
46 cues, found and placed. Every one auditionable.
Lyrics that land on the screen
Section banners are locked to the arrangement. The preview is exactly what AbleSet will show.
You can't put it in the wrong place
Section banners come from the song's own locators. You can't add, remove, or reorder them, so the chorus can't end up under the bridge.
Chords, inline
Type [G] or [1] where you want it. One lane strips them for the singers; another keeps them for the band.
Overflow turns red
You'll find out a line is too long for the screen while you're sitting at your desk, not while you're on stage looking at it.
Every stem, where you want it
Tracks left, returns right, colored by destination
Rename them once, by rule. MultiTracks names stems the way MultiTracks names things. Set a rule: EG _ catches EG 1 through EG 7, and every song you ever convert comes out speaking your language.
Route them once, by rule. Send each stem to a return, each return to its own output. Set the default and every new song inherits it. Nothing gets orphaned.
Click, guide, and tracks each leave on their own outputs, so the click never hits the house.
Built to work together
BuildAble makes the songs. StitchAble stitches them.
BuildAble turns a download into a finished song. StitchAble merges your finished songs into one gapless setlist. Running order, keys, tempo, meters, guide, click, returns, all reconciled.
They share one engine and one sound library: the guide voice and click sounds you set up in one are the same files the other one uses. And a song BuildAble writes is already named exactly the way StitchAble reads it.
