Tandem keeps one Ableton Live project between two computers. Take turns, keep every version, and know it plays on their side before you hand it over.

  1. 1 · Share

    Share a project

    Pick your Live project folder. It stays where it is. Your collaborator clicks Get a copy.

  2. 2 · Take

    Take the set

    You get the newest version, and the other person sees it's your turn.

  3. 3 · Save

    Save a version

    Work in Live as usual, write a few words, save. Tandem lists what changed: tempo 120 → 124.

  4. 4 · Hand back

    Hand it back

    Tandem checks it plays on their side first. Then it's their turn.

01 · Taking turns

Your
turn.

Take the set before you start. You get the newest version, and the other person sees it's your turn. One of you at a time: no more "conflicted copy".

02 · Ready check

Their
turn.

Before you hand back, Tandem checks it plays on their side, and tells you how to fix what won't.

03 · Versions

The
mix.

Every save is a version with who, when and what changed. Compare any two, and bring a track back from last week.

tempo 120 → 124 BPM
+ track 'Pad': Wavetable
~ 'Vocals' −6 dB
− clip 'Riser'

Mac ⇄ PC: Tandem knows which plugins and Live versions each computer has.
