Go From Spacebar Pusher To Playback Pro with the...
Playback PROgram™
A step-by-step system for musicians and audio engineers who are done just “pressing play” and want to run pro-level playback for any band, in any venue, using Ableton Live.

If This Sounds Like You, You’re In The Right Place.
- Your “playback system” is just hitting the spacebar and hoping nothing crashes.
- Your band has creative ideas, but the tracks are the reason you can't do them.
- You’re tired of YouTube tutorials and online templates that don’t quite fit your situation.
- You know playback could make your shows more creative, but right now it’s making them more stressful.
The Playback PROgram shows you how to fix all of that with a tour‑tested system, not random quick-fix-tricks.
Wouldn't it be great if...
- You could edit songs on the fly while the band keeps playing?
- Ableton felt like an instrument you control, not a computer you're fighting?
- You were the person in town that everyone wants to hire?
- People knew you as the "Ableton wizard"?
- You were the one who could save the show when things went wrong?
- You could perform confidently on stage, knowing you learned from a tour-tested system, not random YouTube videos?
That's Why I Created the Playback PROgram™.
To help musicians and audio engineers run pro-level playback and build their dream performance with the confidence of learning from a touring professional.
Meet Your Instructor.
I'm Nick, a playback engineer who went from:
- Just another bass player trying to make a living from music...
- To professional playback engineer for artists like Andy Grammer, Pierce the Veil, Hunter Hayes, and more.
I built the Playback PROgram because I remember how hard it is to learn playback online.
- Watching YouTube tutorials that never quite worked for me...
- Hoping my session would survive the show...
- Wondering how real touring professionals ran playback...
The Playback PROgram is the step‑by‑step system I wish I had when I started.
You get the tour‑tested version, without the years of guesswork and on-stage embarrassments.
Because I believe that every band deserves a great playback engineer.
WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
“As a Playback Tech working on a large production that very rarely makes changes, I found myself in a position where I knew the tech and the systems but lacked speed and confidence in making edits on the fly. Nick's How To Edit Ableton Like a Pro course took out all the guess work and laid a clear foundation for me to build those skills on.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I know how to approach different contexts of playback engineering. Whether I am running playback for an artist or setting up a session for a band who will go on the road without me, context is everything. I am walking away from PBP with a whole new toolkit of playback techniques that would have taken so much time on my own to figure out."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Before & After the Playback PROgram™.
Before:
- Random YouTube tutorials and templates that don’t quite work.
- Nervous every time the band asks for an arrangement change.
- Unsure what gear you actually need or how to hook it up.
- Hoping your laptop survives the set.
- Feeling like a spacebar pusher, not the one running the show.
After:
- A custom Ableton template you built and fully understand.
- Confident making edits in rehearsal while the band keeps playing.
- A playback rig designed for your band, venues, and budget.
- Calm under pressure because you know how to prevent and handle issues.
- The person artists, churches, and bands call when they want their live show to feel pro.
You'll go from spacebar pusher to playback pro.
