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.

Made for two people on one set.

Ready check

It plays on their side

  • Belle has Live 12.3.1; the set needs 12.4.3.
  • 'Strings' uses Kontakt 7, which Belle doesn't have.
  • All 46 samples are inside the project.

Missing plugins, AU vs VST3, an older Live, samples outside the project: you see it, and how to fix it, before you hand over.

Versions

Every save, a version

[Sil x Belle.als]
tempo 120 → 124 BPM
+ track 'Pad': Wavetable
~ 'Vocals' −6 dB
− clip 'Riser'

Who, when and what changed. Compare two versions, go back to any of them, or bring a track back from last week.
