Live BACKING TRACKS App - Multitracker Overview (Multi-Track-Outputs)
Музыка
In today's video, we are checking out the app Multitracker. This is an app for iPad that I use to run backing tracks for my live shows. You can do a simple method (with just one mp3/wav file) or do multi track outputs with up to 18 different outputs with just one cable. Plus, you can create setlists/playlists, use midi, and a lot more.

My Duo has used this app for a few years. It is just so simple to use, and allows our sound engineer to mix the tracks perfectly. I highly recommend it. Used to we ran the tracks without mixing them...having the ability to mix the tracks individually makes a huge difference in our sound. Great video, Scott...thanks man!

@@ScottUhlMusic no problem. I currently use multitracks for my band and didn’t like that I don’t have the flexibility to control each individual tracks for FOH. Wish I would have found this sooner. But Thanks again Scott.
As always, you killed it with this tutorial! My band uses backing tracks and I've been trying various options. This one seems to be the best so far. I change snapshots on my Helix anywhere from 20-30+ times a song, so having a device that can send MIDI is crucial. We're always changing up the filler sound clips that we use between songs from set to set. Being able to create the MIDI file, move it in coordination with the backing tracks in Logic, then load them both into Multitracker saves me a lot of time. Alternatively, for every set alteration I would have to load the songs into StageTraxx then go through the lyric sheet to meticulously adjust the timing for each snapshot change. The only thing is that there seems to be a little bit of lag with the MIDI commands once they're in Multitracker. If I move the MIDI region 200 ticks ahead (to the left) in Logic before exporting and set the latency in Multitracker to 30ms (max setting), it seems to line things up - at least for the 2 songs I've tested so far at 175 and 162.4 BPM. I really appreciate you sharing your wealth of knowledge! I've been using techniques from a lot of these videos to achieve levels of enjoyment with my music projects that I never thought were attainable. Thank you!

We use the midi feature to control our light show and make program changes in our guitar and electric drum rigs I heard you mention in another video you were going to do a review of this app and I’m very thankful that you did, it’s a really robust app and has enough features for all of our live needs We run it through an audio interface with 4 outs: 1) cues to band IEMS 2) click to band IEMs 3) backing tracks to front of house 4) special cues just for the drummer

So an easy way to control lights is if you have an old Chauvet 40 or something with a midi in, you can send it program changes from the midi track. Set up the midi track in your daw along side of your stems. You can even then use a midi keyboard to program your lightshow by recording the track live while hooked up to your lights.

Hi Scott! Great videos! Our wedding band moved to Multitracker a few months back from Sound Cue. Really love the options it opens up. I was wanting to try adding some MIDI controlled elements to our set; Lights and HX Stomp switching. Is it possible to do both with the app or is it one or the other? Wasn't sure how many MIDI tracks you can load into the App? We don't use tracks for every song so I still would like the ability to control the lights for non tracked songs. Guessing this is possible depending on what controller I have? Currently using the Stairville DMX Joker which I believe I cannot use MIDI with so would need to upgrade to use Multitracker. Any help would be much appreciated and keep the great videos coming :) All the best!

Great video thanks Scott for doing this I'm glad you like the app it looks amazing. Just to mention again that I believe Sebastian had intended to out out an upgrade to Multitracker this year but unfortunately hasn't been able to by the looks of things - am wondering why else is in store! In addition Peter at Stage Traxx is also very supportive of the ST community with his fantastic app which is the one I use currently!

Hey Scott, wanted to say thanks for the video as this has entirely made my live rig possible so thank you! Just a quick one regarding Bluetooth midi; I’m finding when I connect my remote, the app doesn’t recognise that I’ve connected it and the midi controls don’t work…but if it’s left for a while, it starts to work? Do you have anything similar happen? Or do you have a way to get the midi aspect working reliably that isn’t immediately obvious? Thanks!

Great video, Scott. Just wondering if you have any additional info on how to use the midi timecode function for a timecoded show. I'm not comfortable with Bluetooth reliability for MTC with a show and was thinking about just recording an LTC track as one of my backing tracks and sending the timecode to the control room via regular analogue audio sends. Is Bluetooth the only avenue to get a midi send from your iPad/XR18 setup? Thanks again.
Does MIDI file playback work well with multiple tempos? Will the app use the tempo saved in the MIDI file or will it force the MIDI file to play at its preconfigured fixed tempo? Thank you
@ScottUhlMusic

I would program the midi file in something like logic, with all the tempo changes, etc, and then export it so you know it syncs up properly 👍
My files are on my pc. What would be the easiest way to transfer to ipad? Also is it possible to dump all files at once from one ipad to another ? And thanks for all your help. I look forward to integrating this program to our group.

I’m not really familiar with windows, so I’m not sure. And with the iPad you can always do a backup and then restore the backup on the other iPad 👍
I’ve been trying a couple of things and having been getting a fire hydrants worth of info, great video, but forgive me if I missed it Let’s say you’re doing an IEM set up where you’re performing at different venues with a FOH engineer, How would you suggest to be easiest and quickest to send your tracks out front to FOH if you’re using the USB multitrack method, again, forgive me if you mentioned this, I might have missed that part

It might be easier to do something like this: Easy MULI-TRACK BACKING TRACKS Setup with Loop Community TRACK RIG kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6OHutSKd7DZcbA.html Splitting going into the xr18 via usb can be tough. Although this also exists: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJx_sc2pZKzcldY.htmlsi=LJh_2mdnCc5wSCtx
A little confused as far as mixing levels from the XR18. Do you do it in the XR iPad app or in the Multitracker app, or both? Seems like you still need the mixing app, either the one you're using or the XAir app, in addition to the Multitracker app....?
@ScottUhlMusic
Жыл бұрын
You can do it in either. You don’t have to use the xr18, you could get something like an interface like Track Rig and use it that way. This was just a way to demo it for KZread. Any digital mixer, you’ll need an iPad or app to mix with it. But you can set this up in multiple ways.

@@ScottUhlMusic OK cool, thx! I thought since Multitracker can't flip the XR18's inputs to USB, you'd still need the XAir app to do that. I think for starters, I'm going to use my 2 output Mbox Mini (USB), and just have the mono music mix & click tracks/cues on separate channels, and work my way up from there, but this app looks rad! Thanks for the tip on that karaoke site for the tracks as well!
Hi Scott, great and very usefull video! I was wondering how would it be possible to connect multitracker app with soundcraft ui12 mixer? This mixer does not have usb b interface. Or in this case i am ‘doomed’ to use an audio interface between the ipad and the mixer? Tx

Hey Scott! Hello from South Africa. If you had to plug this app via USB into a Helix or Quad Cortex, would it also show you the output options like with the X-Air? I am routing for the Quad Cortex. When I play solo, everything you explained here and on your other videos will work for me without having to take a mixer with. When I play with the band, I do take a mixer with. With this, I would like to run a stereo backing track, a seperate click, and send midi changes from the app to my Quad Cortex. The outputs from my Quad Cortex would then be Stereo Track (or track L/R), a click, 1 vocal, and stereo guitar. 6 outputs total. My mixer is the Soundcraft ui16 if that matters. Will all this be possible? I hope this makes sense?

I don’t own a quad cortex (but definitely would want to) so I’m not sure. If it has enough outputs in it then it would work. But if not, using your soundcraft would be best 👍

Hi thank you very much for this video! Currently setting this up for my buddy & I for our gigs. Our goal is to be able to have mixer, backing track, & MIDI running off the iPad but there’s no option to turn on inputs in this app for us to be able to do our own mixing & dial in our guitars the way we like without needing to rely on a sound guy & we’d like to be able to do that ourselves. Do you know an app that would allow us to mix our guitars, play backing tracks, & run MIDI out for us? Thank you!

You absolutely can. I demo it in this video. However, you will need to program a midi file, export it as a midi file (from like logic or something) and then import it to the iPad. I do like Stage Traxx 3 better personally for midi programming because you do it directly in the app.

Figured if you need to have cues cooked into the mix, that you'd want to at least have the lyrics in setlist order in a folder on a tablet or at least on your phone. 300+ songs is a lot of lyrics to commit solely to memory.

@@ScottUhlMusic That looks like a very useful app! Coupling the instrumental track together with the lyrics of a song is very convenient, bcs handling lyrics and backing tracks separately for every song is very tedious and a constant chore to juggle the two, song after song. Unfortunately, ST3 and other apps that can do it, as far as I know, are all for iOS devices. Maybe someday someone will "crack the code," so to speak, and write an app for Windows and Android that can serve that same need? Not sure why that hasn't been done yet in 2023...
