"It's taken my show to the next level." - Todd Royal (The New News)

"...one of the top Ableton Certified Trainers in the country..." - Serafin Sanchez (Ableton Inc.)

"You have been amazing. The system is working great." - Ali Pike (LCD Soundsystem)

"I can't believe that we haven't be using this all along! The new system has made everything so much easier." - Jeff K. (What Sound?)

The band sounds awesome but...

So you’ve just finished recording your latest album and now you’re ready to take it out on the road. The band is great but they just aren’t able to cover all of those sounds from the recordings. You want to give your fans a live show but you also want everything to sound like that single that’s burning up the charts.
This is where we can help.

Just starting out? Perfect!

We work directly with the artists and production staff to design a multitrack audio playback rig to fit your group's individual needs. These custom computer systems use the latest software and road tested hardware to create stable turnkey backing track systems that you can count on night after night, venue after venue.

Already have a playback rig? We can make it better.

What's under the hood?

Powered by the popular Ableton Live software, Live Stems systems feature rock-solid audio & MIDI playback while also being extremely adjustable for whatever the artist might need. Did the singer over extend their voice last night? Lower the key of your songs in seconds. Need to push the tempo a bit? Just bump everything up a few BPM.
All of this without sacrificing the quality of your sound.
