"Revolutionize Your Live Show: The 8-Week Blueprint to the Perfect Performance"
Hi Friend!
Will here, and I've got something exciting to share with you.
Remember when you first realized the power of Playback? You saw a clear vision of how your shows would improve, how you could craft the perfect production, and have everything in sync?
I do. And I also remember how overwhelming it felt trying to piece together all the tech, the software, and the know-how to make it happen.
That's why I created the Perfect Performance™ Bootcamp.
Whether you're a tribute/cover band, a musician looking to stand out, or a worship leader aiming to enhance your service, I've designed this bootcamp to be your all-in-one solution for mastering playback and using playback as the foundation for the perfect performance.
Here's what one of our students, Sean O'Donnell, former member of Yellowcard, had to say:
"If you're like me, where you're really good at watching YouTube videos, but not actually good at digesting any of what you just watched, Will is the man for you. He is an incredible teacher. This is the closest I felt to being in the Matrix, where I just, like, at the end of it, you just, like, know everything. He ruined YouTube for me. I don't sit and watch videos on playback anymore. I just know how to do it."
Sounds awesome, right? But here's the thing - Sean started just like you. Eager to learn, but unsure where to begin.
In this bootcamp, we don't just scratch the surface. You'll learn how to:
• Master the essentials of on-stage playback and build a reliable in-ear monitoring system
• Develop a fail-safe, fully redundant playback system for uninterrupted performances
• Master the 11-step process for efficient and flexible Ableton Live set programming
• Create a "hands-free" Ableton Live set with advanced song programming techniques
• Learn to remotely control your off-stage playback system with confidence and precision
• Harness the power of timecode to effortlessly control lights and video
• Automate on-stage instruments to enhance focus and stay in the moment during performances
• Design a flexible, modular "performance network" using basic networking equipment and iConnectivity interfaces
And the best part? You're not just learning how to push buttons. You're understanding the why behind every action. As Reese, another bootcamp student, put it:
"It's not just a mindless how-to course. We dive into the core concepts of audio and different things about why we're doing the things that we're doing in Ableton."
Now, I know what you might be thinking. "Will, this sounds great, but I'm just a beginner. Is this really for me?"
Absolutely! Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional musician, this bootcamp is designed to take you from wherever you are to the next level. We've had students go from complete novices to confident experts by the end of the program.
This program works.
Take it from Sterling, one of our students:
"Will teaches you how to set up and network your entire performance system together. The backing tracks, the vocal processing, the guitar processing, the drums, keys, lights, video charts, lyrics, whatever you use on stage. He's the guy who coined the phrase 'the connected stage' that now everybody uses. He'll teach you how to control an entire stadium sized show using the spacebar on your computer keyboard. It's crazy, but it works and it's doable by you."
But it's not just about the knowledge.
It's also about the community.
When you join the Perfect Performance Bootcamp, you're joining a family of like-minded musicians. You'll get feedback on your projects, encouragement when you need it, and a network of peers to grow with.
So here's my promise to you:
In 8 weeks, you'll go from feeling overwhelmed by technology to confidently creating amazing performances with playback at the core.
You'll understand not just the how, but the why behind every aspect of using playback on-stage.
And you'll be part of a supportive community that will cheer you on every step of the way.
Are you ready to transform your live shows and your career?
The stage is set.
The audience is waiting.
It's time for YOUR Perfect Performance.
Join us in the Perfect Performance Bootcamp. I can't wait to see what you'll create.
To The Perfect Performance!
Will Doggett
P.S. Still on the fence? Remember what Reese said: "I haven't regretted it for a single day since I signed up. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Take the time, make the investment. It'll be awesome." Don't let another day go by feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Join us and start your journey to performance mastery today!

Every Single Penny I've Spent Has Been MORE than Worth It!
"Every single penny l've spent on this course and equipment has been MORE than worth it (especially after seeing a MIDI message control my lights and guitar FX). It's one thing to learn how to do something in Ableton, but it's a completely different thing to execute something in practice. I feel like such a rare breed with the knowledge l've gained in this course. I can definitely see how much demand there is for someone with this knowledge and I already feel irreplaceable."

I signed up because I want to setup my band, so we can stop "minding the tech", and we can focus on making the music. Sign up, sign in, work hard, and in no time, you'll be a playback monster!"
-Sterling Munro

A Quick Note to Bands and Artists: Take Your Show to the Next Level
Hey Friend,
If you're reading this, you're probably not content with just "good enough." You're the kind of artist who wants to create an unforgettable experience for your audience. You're DIY to the core, always pushing to make your shows better. Sound familiar?
Let me ask you this: Have you ever found yourself knee-deep in cables, trying to figure out how to sync your lights with your tracks?
Or maybe you've spent countless hours on YouTube, trying to decipher how to sync your video to your backing tracks.
Maybe you're trying to piece together the perfect rig, but you're overwhelmed in a sea of possible options.
Maybe, you've tried connecting your USB-DMX convertor to your mioXM, hoping to figure out how to get DMX out of Ableton Live.
You've got the vision, but sometimes the technical details can be overwhelming. That's why I'm excited to tell you about our 8-week Perfect Performance Accelerator program.
Here's the deal: Our initial 8-week bootcamp gives you the rock-solid foundation you need to implement playback into your shows.
If you're a band or artist, and you're hoping to create the show of your dreams on a budget, this accelerator is the solution.
We'll help you design a total performance system, integrating lights, video, charts, and more into your setup.
Don't just take my word for it. Check out what one of our graduates has to say:
Mike Russo, bassist for the cover band 1.21 Gigawatts, shares:
"I started this band a little over a year ago with the intent of having just not another cover band, but one that put on a show, one that had videos behind us, synchronized lights, smoke during thriller and that type of thing. When I started to look into this, I stumbled upon From Studio to Stage. I took the bootcamp about six, seven months ago, and it has completely changed the way we work in our show."
Imagine stepping on stage, knowing that every element of your show is dialed in to perfection. Your tracks are rock-solid, your lights pulse in perfect sync with your music, your video tells your story, and you never miss a lyric thanks to your seamlessly integrated teleprompter.
That's not just a dream – it's reality for our accelerator students!
Here's what you'll master in the 8-week accelerator:
Designing Video Solutions: Design a rock solid, expandable video system that is controlled and synchronized with Ableton Live.
Crafting the Perfect Teleprompter: Learn how to setup a teleprompter and confidence monitor so that you always know the right word, at the exact right time.
"Hands-Free" Charts: Learn how to change your charts automatically with Ableton Live.
Designing Perfectly Sync'd Lights: Learn how to program lights, design a flexible, rock solid lighting rig, and how to connect and control your lights with Ableton Live.
Achieving Perfect Vocals, Every Time: Learn how to use vocal effects and processing on your vocal, to achieve the perfect vocals, every time.
Controlling and Automating Drums: Learn how to implement drum pads, triggers, and modules into your setup, and control them with Ableton Live.
Controlling and Automating Guitars: Imagine hiring a guitar tech to change your presets for you, and knowing it's perfect-everytime. That's what you'll learn to have Ableton too, and you'll learn how to create a fully redundant guitar rig.
Controlling and Automating Keys: Go beyond changing patches on your keyboard. Learn how to implement a virtual keys rig using Ableton Live, and have Ableton change all your presets, and effects for you automatically.
This isn't just about technical skills – it's about unleashing your creativity and taking full control of your artistic vision. It's about transforming from a band that plays songs into artists who create unforgettable experiences.
The best part? You don't need a team of techs or a massive budget. We'll show you how to create a professional-level show on a DIY budget.
So, are you ready to take your performances from good to unforgettable? Are you ready to stand out in a crowded music scene and give your audience an experience they'll never forget?
Join bootcamp, and add on the 8-week accelerator to take your shows to the next level.
Remember, great shows aren't just heard – they're experienced. Let's create something unforgettable together.
To The Perfect Performance!

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not a professional
Great! As long as you're making money from music, or hope to in the future, this is the perfect solution for you. Instead of enrolling in a music program at a university, you're getting a current, up-to-date education on real skills you can use to get and keep a gig, at a fraction of the cost. The ROI is insane.
I'm a professional, I already know how to do this..
This is the curse of working professionals. The most important thing you need on a current gig is to not change anything. If it's working, don't touch it, don't optimize. The problem is, that's the very thing that will keep you from growing and sharpening your skill set. Music technology changes so quickly, it's hard to keep up. If you're not staying on top of it and learning new things, you'll be left behind and miss out. This program is designed to expand your skill set and give you an up-to-date look at the industry standards and how [to implement them]. (Consider completing this sentence)
I get so frustrated with tech.. This will never work!!
First, it's important to understand, it's not your fault. To create the perfect performance, you've got to learn a lot of different pieces of tech. Once you get those mastered, you've then got to figure out how to get them integrated. Those companies don't often talk to each other, and they don't provide support for each other's products… so where do you turn for help? And ultimately, you want to play music, not be an IT person on stage! With this program, you'll get a guided learning experience through each piece of tech you need. Then you'll learn step by step how to integrate them all and have Ableton control them. You'll learn step by step how to do this, and get support along the way.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks
There's no age limit to this content. The only requirement is that you first believe you can learn this content. If so, you'll master it. We so often get in our own way because of our limiting beliefs. Whether you believe you can or can't, you're right. If you can commit to believing that you can do this, I'll commit to providing the most thorough, step-by-step curriculum you can find.
What if I'm busy during the program?
The Bootcamp is designed to be flexible for your schedule. You can learn at your own pace, view content without WiFi, and pick back up right where you left off. Just let your coach know if you need to shift deadlines. You'll never miss anything with recorded coaching calls. As long as you can commit 3-5 hours a week to view and work on the content, you've got time.
I can't afford it
I get it. Money is tight. It's time to focus only on the essentials. If you don't feel like this program is going to improve your performance, help you book better gigs, and ultimately make more money… this isn't for you. But if you have big dreams and a small budget, this is the best ROI you can get. Practically speaking, if you wanted to achieve the same results you'll get in this program – an in-sync lighting show, perfectly timed video, lyrics and charts that follow your arrangement, and all of your patches and presets changing at just the right time – you'd have to hire at least 3 techs to travel with you on the road. You'd have to pay each of them at least $1,000 a week, room and board, and per diem. With this program, you pay me less than half of what you'd pay one tech, once a month for 6 months, and no extra bunks on the bus needed. Plus, what you learn here will continue to provide value and results after the program ends, and after you stop paying me.
Is this the same as your All-Access membership?
All-Access lets you learn skills on-demand, but without guidance. The Bootcamp gives you structured training and coaching for creating complete perfect performances. If you want to develop skills on your own timeline, don't need the extra coaching or support, and don't need any content beyond Playback content, All-Access may be a better fit.
No one in my area does this
I have good news and bad news. The good news is you have an unfair advantage. You'll be able to use playback to play songs with instruments you don't have, you'll be able to stay focused on the music (and not the tech) and have more fun playing music. You'll be able to create the perfect performance and become one of the best bands in your area. You can book better and bigger gigs and make more money and have more fun. You're not called to be just another band in a bar… you want more than that. Here's the bad news though… if no one in your area is doing this, you have no one in your area you can learn from, and get support. But I have even better news... with this program, you not only learn how to implement Playback with the road-tested Playback Method, but you get a community of like-minded musicians that are here to cheer you on and support you. We won't let you quit, and we'll answer all your questions for you.
We don't have the budget to buy all this gear.. And hire all these extra techs
You've got big dreams and a small budget, I get it. Here are the options you've got. Hire multiple techs, pay them each $1,000 every week (plus room and board and per diem) and you can have amazing lights, video, have someone else change your patches and presets for you and have an amazing show. Or you can pay me less than half of what you'd pay a single tech, once a month for six months and I'll teach you how to hit the road, with the same results and without hiring any additional techs. When it comes to gear, you've got to find and buy gear that can be versatile enough to expand and grow later to add new skills. Otherwise, you end up throwing away thousands of dollars of gear every time you purchase something and need a new skill. Again, the choice is yours… pay a lot less now, or pay a lot more later.
I watch your Youtube tutorials.. What's new with this??
This is a purpose-designed, step-by-step curriculum and program that will show you the exact path you need to take to achieve the perfect performance. YouTube is all about "how" and making it as quick as possible. This program not only shows you how, but explains the exact right order and steps you need to take to achieve the perfect performance, and explains why. Once you understand the key frameworks and why we're taking these steps, the sky is your limit. You'll be able to implement these techniques to achieve the perfect performance. This is also the only place you'll see me teach the perfect performance concepts.
I don't know how to do this.
Great! As long as you believe you can learn this, and commit to do the work, I'll help you learn. Instead of being left on your own to figure this out, you'll be given a step-by-step framework on exactly how to achieve the perfect performance. You don't need to know how to do this, all you need is to believe you can do this, and a commitment to do the work!
What if I don't like it??
Within the first 14 days of this program, if you sign up and realize it's not for you, you can request a full refund, and we'll get it to you. After those 14 days, you're free to cancel and drop out of the program and you won't be charged for any remaining months. If you get busy and would like to shift your enrollment to a later date, we'll happily make that happen.
