Curious if I can run a click/guide track split left and right via USB audio in and going out stereo via the Send L/R outs? Tried googling (albeit quick) to find not much on the topic. Probably easy but I am not at the unit right now.

Howdy,

I have been searching and can't seem to find an an answer to a question I have. I am very new to Ableton and am using Lite at the moment. Sorry in advance if this is something that has been covered before.

I come from a volunteer church musician background, but have a fair bit of experience with the Prime app from Loop Community for running click and tracks live. I am doing a personal show that I would like to have click and guide for (no backing tracks) and have made the custom click and guide tracks in Ableton, but I'm not sure how best to actually use them in the live setting. I have tried just placing the tracks to play one into the other in arrangement view, but can't figure out how to have different tempos for them since I am using midi click and guide clips. I also know that I can load the midi files into the session view and have the different tempo settings, but then I lose the session viewing option and neither of these operations are quite as elegant as the way the Prime app works.

I guess my question is: is there a way to automate certain song transitions to stop, and some to go one into the next in Ableton? Or am I looking for something that isn't there? Comparison is the thief of joy and I know the Prime app is very focused on doing the one thing, but it seems like there should be a way to do something similar in Ableton.

I really have tried searching for answers before asking, but maybe I just don't know the right things to be searching for.
