Frequently Asked Questions

Plan2Live V2 connects to your Planning Center account, reads your service plan, and generates a ready-to-open Ableton Live set — with markers, song structure, BPM, and audio routing already in place. Instead of rebuilding your session from scratch each week, you open the app, pick your plan, and click Generate.

No. Plan2Live does not supply stems. The app reads the Stems Libraries you already have on your computer and maps them into the generated Ableton set. You bring your own stems; Plan2Live handles the layout and routing.

No. Plan2Live is a session-generation tool, not a stems platform or playback player. It works alongside whatever stems source you already use. If you license stems from MultiTracks or Loop Community, or run tracks through Playback, Plan2Live sits upstream of that — it builds the Ableton set so you have less setup work each week.

Plan2Live requires Ableton Live 10 or newer (10, 11, or 12). Any edition — Intro, Standard, or Suite — is supported as long as it is version 10 or above installed on your Mac.

Plan2Live connects to Planning Center using Planning Center's official OAuth login. You sign in through a secure Planning Center window — your Planning Center password is never seen or stored by Plan2Live. Once connected, the app can read your service plans and song details to build the set.

No. Your audio files never leave your computer. Plan2Live reads file paths from your Stems Libraries locally and references them inside the generated Ableton set. No audio data is uploaded to any server.

No. Plan2Live uses Planning Center's OAuth flow. You log in through an official Planning Center window, and Plan2Live only receives a secure access token — never your password. The token is stored locally on your device and is used only to read your service plans.

Plan2Live collects only what is necessary to run the service: your account email, subscription status, and generation usage counts. Audio files, Planning Center credentials, and local file paths are never transmitted. See the Privacy Policy for the full details.

Stems Libraries are the folders on your computer where your song stem files live. In Plan2Live V2, you point the app to one or more Stems Libraries, and it searches those folders when building your set. Each song should have its own folder following the naming format Song Title - Key - BPM so the app can match it to the correct entry in your Planning Center plan.

Yes. Plan2Live matches song folders by name against your Planning Center plan. Use the format Song Title - Key - BPM (for example, Firm Foundation - G - 98bpm). Avoid parentheses, brackets, or other special characters — the app will not recognize folders that contain them. The song title must match what is in Planning Center exactly. See the Guide for the full naming rules and examples.

Guide Analysis Labels are markers that Plan2Live places in your Ableton set based on the song guide track. They label song sections — intro, verse, chorus, bridge, outro, and so on — so your session is navigable from the moment you open it. Guide Analysis Labels are available on every plan, including Free.

Planning Center Labels pull item notes and section labels directly from your Planning Center plan and place them as markers in the Ableton set. This means the language your worship team uses in Planning Center shows up in Ableton — no manual re-entry required.

Premium is coming soon. It will include 200 generations per month, Section Edit, Custom Templates, and Dial It In+ — on top of everything in Pro.
