Just got an APC40 MK2, I write music in arrangement view.

So the main thing i'm trying to figure out is the best way to take my tracks which are all made strictly in arrangement view, and organize them into parts in a way that would be most practical with the APC40mk2.

The most obvious method to me is to create scenes with the tracks stemmed into groups (drums, bass, rhythm/chord instruments and leads) and figure it out from there, but I do want to be able to live remix/rearrange my music for a more in depth live experience. So far i've been just using a Traktor S4 and transitioning one song into the next and dancing while the song plays since i don't want to mess with my track with traktor's shitty fx (I dont consider myself a DJ by any means). Also, I spin a set of ALL original music of varying keys/bpms.

Now that I have more control over the music I am looking for ideas that people have that may have the same workflow as me (writing in arrangement view and then breaking it down in scene view for a live performance), also if anyone can recommend any good templates to start out with that would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Here's my music so you can have an idea of what i'll be spinning:

I don't have any templates, but this is how I used to take my studio songs and play them with an APC live:
