"What got you here, won't get you there", unless what got you here is a strong work ethic, a desire to serve, and humility...then it'll get you wherever the next "there" is. On today's show I chat with From Studio to Stage student, Eston Ekona Ravey about his journey learning how to play piano at RadioShack to traveling the world as a Playback Tech and Show Programmer. You'll hear how he continues to get and keep gigs because of the same attitude he had back when he showed up at a RadioShack with a notebook and a desire to learn how to play piano.Eston is a bass player, MD, playback tech and show programmer originally from Hawaii and now living in LA. You'll hear how committing to put in the work, and literally serving others opened the doors for him to become a playback tech and show programmer.

Imagine if you could elevate your performance, using Ableton Live to automate everything...everything but the kitchen sink. That's what Doug Lawes, a Worship Leader, and From Studio to Stage student does every week. Keep listening to hear how he's automated, lyrics, lights, video, guitar presets, streaming automation and more, and controls his entire Ableton set with one button, while on stage. That's the power of Ableton Live and Automation.[What's the craziest thing you've used Ableton to automate? I had Ableton make me coffee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TcN59bb4bk ]While the idea of automation is cool, you'll hear how at the heart of it all, it allows Doug to accomplish his job as a Worship Leader each week. It allows him to focus less on Ableton Live, and more on serving his people. Want to learn how to use Ableton Live to automate your performance like Doug?

Everyone is talking about Live Streaming. The past few weeks have forced us all to learn how to do it. But we are all making a huge mistake when it comes to Live Streaming. We're  only talking about the technical. How do we setup our camera? How do we use OBS? We're missing a lot of the streaming "soft skills" required to have a successful stream. While we're all learning how to do this, gamers have been doing it for years.  In this episode I talk with Matt Salsamendi, co-founder of Mixer, a live streaming service for gamers, now owned by Microsoft. We discuss what bands and artists can learn from gamers. How can we keep people engaged? Should we try and monetize our streams? How do we improve our streams?  If you're looking to take your live streams to the next level, save yourself years of mistakes and start implementing Matt's suggestions today!  --------------- Thanks to Clark for sponsoring this episode, and all of Season 3 of the From Studio to Stage podcast. Visit their website to start the conversation.
