I have decided to roll Digital Worship into my personal blog which will take on more of a “creative arts, music, ableton, etc…” feel. So head on over to www.digitalworship” for all the hype.

I wont be updating this site any longer.

It’s been a while… Since the beginning of August actually. I cant believe it’s almost ‘08!

Well, the word is I have been crazy buys with everything that is not “digital worship.” Just as I was planning to launch a whole new “digital worship” everything got turned upside down on my end with work, a new band and CD - all really great stuff… just not digital worship stuff.

So I’m not sure whats up or  plans with this site. Its still a possibility to keep things rolling, but no promises.

Peace.

Interesting.

I originally started digitalworship to make available answers to some of the common questions I was getting about using loops and ableton in worship. Since then its been killer to see things progress and develop to where we find ourselves today.

Ive been giving it some thought and here is the tidy new future of  digitialworship:

* Video Tutorials on some of the key elements behind using ableton/loops/multi-tracks in worship (Any requests?)

* Gear/Product Reviews. I’ve had a couple requests… so here it comes.

* “Digital” Confessionals. With all these crazy worship confessionals, Im thinking, maybe… still deciding on this one though.

* DigitalWorship Sample packs. I’ve been tracking and sampling all sorts of loops I intergrate into worship sets. This is one way I am considering help curb costs (no worries though… they’d be cheep - maybe $5) Would you pay for something like this to help the site roll on?

* Loops. Im working to get licenses for what I currently have and for future content, so that I can make available specific ableton ready sets with loops and such for modern worship songs.

You might notice some rearanging on the site so be patient and let me know what your thoughts are.

I’ve added some new gear here recently. The big addition is my “aBility” pedal built by Baron Youn Custom Works. Now that I have it I cant imagine how I functioned in a live setting without it.

Here are the basic elements I use:

*Apple MacBook (Black 13in upgraded to 2GB Ram)

*Ableton Live 6

*Reason 3

*M-Audio Trigger FInger

*M-Audio Axiom 61

*Baron Youn Custom Works “aBility” Midi Foot Controller

*Tascam 1082 Control Surface (in studio interface)

*Presonus Firebox (what I use for my live setting interface)

Killer Loop Libraries and Software Instruments And Samples I Use:

*Samplecraze.com

*Peaceloveproductions.com

*Drumsondemand.com

*Acidfanatic.com

*Smartloops.com

*Drumwerks.com

*Puremagnetik.com

Hope that helps some of you see what resources I use to create what I do.

The newest addition to my habit. I have been on the search for a midi foot controller that 1) wasnt huge like the Berhinger FCB1010 and 2) and was reasonable in cost. Designed from the ground up for Ableton Live, this foot controller is exactly what I was looking for. Baron is a killer designer! I’d recomend the pedal for sure.

Honestly I didnt think this blog would really take off as much as it has. Only a few short months and…

Almost to the big five tripple zero.

Has anyone successfully used video with ableton?

Here are a couple loops I used in an acoustic set two weeks ago. Hope you dig em. 122bpm

NOTE: So here is the deal with these loops: You may use these in a LIVE worship setting only. You may not use these in any sort of recording (either live or studio, worship or not). And last but not least. If you use these loops pleas let us know… it makes us happy
