Ninety minutes. The stuff nobody teaches.

Most playback training stops at the Ableton session. This class is about everything after that; the people on stage, the routine that gets you to showtime, and how to handle the moment something goes wrong in front of thousands of fans.

01 · The people

The part of the job that happens offstage.

How to earn trust with the band & why this job is more than programming or building a rig.

02 · The routine

The show-day routine that sets you up for success.

What I make sure I know before each show, and how I double check my system to prevent failures.

03 · The recovery

What to do when the band goes off the rails.

How to prepare for the worst. You'll learn my Click 'n' Switch method for getting everyone back on track without the audience ever knowing.

Who's teaching

Hi, I'm Nick Huff!

I'm a touring playback engineer who's been the man-behind-the-spacebar for Andy Grammer, Pierce the Veil, Hunter Hayes and more.

I didn't learn this in a classroom. I learned it the hard way, on tour, through a lot of trial and error. This class is what I wish someone had told me before my first show: not Ableton tricks, but the habits that help every show run smooth.

Live only. No replay.
