The full arrangement, color coded and labeled, exactly as it opens.
Reference and frequency check
There is a frequency check rack on both the master and the reference group. A key command hits both at once, so you can go back and forth between your track and a reference without changing anything.
If something sounds off, like the lows soloed on one but not the other, match the two racks and it will clear up.
Load up to two reference tracks into the provided channels in Ableton. Use the built in key commands to make referencing automatic.

Mono is a capital M. Caps lock is the easiest way to get it.
Common questions
Stencils are arrangement breakdowns of popular songs in Ableton Live that show every instrument in a song and where to put it on the timeline. You can learn from them and fill them out with your own sounds, coming up with something completely unique. Every section is placed, color coded and professionally organized to the highest level so you can make quick decisions and stay in the creative flow.
A remake gives you the whole song. Presets, processing, musical choices, all of it. Great for learning, but you are working inside someone else's sound. A stencil gives you the outline and nothing else. Play in your sounds, move the sections, take it wherever you want. The structure helps you stay organized and make decisions on the fly, so you stay in the flow state.
No. It opens with nothing but stock Ableton devices, so there is nothing to install. Fill it in with whatever plugins and samples you already own.
Both, used differently. If you are learning, it is a guide. The sections are already placed, so you find out where things go by filling them in rather than guessing. I color code these in extreme detail so you can spot patterns easily and speed drill sections to get your reps in. If you already produce, it is an organization and decision shortcut. You skip the blank session and spend time working on the music and the song itself. They use it to get ideas down quickly and pick the best one, rearranging the structure and the instruments on the fly as the song demands.
You can, but following it note for note usually makes a track harder to finish. Add something that is not there, take out what is not needed, and practice rearranging the pieces in different ways until you find what works for the song you are making.
No, and they are more fun when you do not. Take that house stencil and bump it to 140, or turn a dubstep arrangement into a tech house track. Have fun with it, be creative, and bring your own sound to arrangements you would not normally think to use.
No. It is a structural map of how the record is built. Nothing from the original recording is included or reproduced.
Yes. Everything you put into it is yours. Release it, sign it, play it out.

Ableton Live Stencil: "Wasting My Time" by ALEXS & Strn.
(No audio included — this is a structural outline)
Stencil is compatible with Ableton 11
Think of this like a blueprint for modern Speed Garage — a producer’s coloring book page and a detailed checklist rolled into one. It shows you exactly what sounds you need, where to put them, what automations are happening in the original, and even when to time your delay throws and filter transitions for maximum impact.
This stencil maps out the full structure of “Wasting My Time” by ALEXYS and Strn., a clean, minimal heater that sits right in the Notion/Instinct lane. It’s built at 144 BPM but easy to adapt to your needs, with open space to craft your own intro or outro — perfect if you’re looking to drop a DJ-ready mix version.
The original track features one of those gritty, buzzy garage basslines that punches straight through the mix — especially in the breakdowns and drops. But don’t get it twisted: this one’s all about restraint. Every section is minimal but intentional, making it one of the most beginner-friendly stencils in our library. If you're just getting started or trying to scale your output without overthinking structure, this one hits the sweet spot.
Also — mark our words — ALEXYS and Strn. are going to be serious players in the Speed Garage game, just like Riordan was when we dropped our first stencil on him. This is your chance to build with the sound before it fully blows up.
🎯 What’s Inside:
✅ Key-Mapped Frequency Check Rack – Quickly identify and fix clashing elements
✅ Two Key-Mapped Reference Channels – A/B your ideas against the original structure
✅ Pre-Programmed MIDI (Basic Elements Only) – Kick, clap, and hat patterns to jumpstart your drums
✅ Open Channels for Creative Freedom – Drop in your own basslines, synths, FX, and vocal chops
✅ Vocal Layout Markers – Visual cues for placing vocal samples where they hit hardest
✅ Automation Lanes – Most filter movements, delay throws, and FX transitions are clearly labeled so you can see exactly where and how the original track builds tension and energy
✅ Expandable Sections – Extra space included to build your own intro/outro
✅ Fully Organized Project – Color-coded, labeled, and built for instant clarity
