Re: Official DJ Thread using Ableton 8

Holistic that is one good video !!! Thank you I am counting my hours until I get to go home and try your method. It seemed after the first two steps time warp from here option pretty much got all markers right. I never knew it was that accurate.


THANK YOU :!:

Re: Cracks & pops when starting or stopping playback

Did anyone ever resolve this? I heard a few pops myself not all the time but once in a while I did. The way I got it fixed was lowering the buffer size in preferences. Not sure if you guys have tried this or not but for me when I did this it seems to have fixed those pop and crackel noises.

Re: Official DJ Thread using Ableton 8

Thanks for all the good tips Racen!


Here is a quick question which I hope I can describe well without any screen shots since I'm not home at the moment. Say you are warping to 4 bar loop or 8 or 16 dont matter. If you have a temporary marker placed in front or in back of that 1st bar loop line do ...

Re: Ableton DJ Setup Info Required

I'm afraid I can't really help with the specific questions you asked however hopefully may be some use for DJ'ing with Ableton in general.

I have attached a pic showing my DJ setup in Live (changed it around since then but this'll do for the main ideas)
I personally think that everyone should ...

Re: My APC40 knobs have a mind of their own! Help!

You're in the same boat as me as far as trying to use the APC 40 for gigs only. I've had mine for few weeks now and so far no issues. I'm still battling with warping different genera of music but other then that the APC 40 has been good to me and is nice and solid.

Re: Official DJ Thread using Ableton 8

Just curious how long it takes you guys to actually warp a song? At this point I have come to conclusion warping is like beat matching its not going to happen over night and takes a lot of practice to perfect it. So far I find this the hardest part of using Ableton for DJing. I had few suggestions ...

Re: Macbook Pros / PC Laptops

As far as controller not sure what your budget is? I got my hands on a APC 40 and this baby has limitless possibilities. You get 8 channels, cross fader, and a top of trigger buttons and knobs to satisfy every need. As far as audio interface I heard many good things about Native Instruments Audio 2 ...

Re: Macbook Pros / PC Laptops

I say go with a PC. To get into more specifics get a Intel I5 I would say I7 but right now its way over prices and not worth the money. Plus I5 is plenty to do what you wish. Most good laptops will come with 4 gigs of ram and if you have a nice budget like that I would def. suggest going with 4 gigs ...

Re: PLEASE HELP ABLETON 8 FROOZE TWICE DURING LIVE DJ SET

Whats up guys. I am just getting my hands dirty with Ableton 8 and APC 40 for DJing live. I have a Toshiba satellite dual core with 2 gigs of ram. For the most part I can say I know a good amount about PCs. I have my A+ cert and been working for a communications company for over 7 years now. I do a ...

Re: Official DJ Thread using Ableton 8

Operation is a Success !!! Thanks to everyone that helped but after a long battle I got my APC40 to sync with Ableton 8 and my orange lights are back in session. It's kind of hard to figure all this out without a manual. So I had to do it the hard way and ask around and try all possibility until ...

Re: Official DJ Thread using Ableton 8

A question that came into mind. When warping a track and there is a marker set lets say during a instrumental break in the middle of the track do you remove it or keep it in? I guess this is what confuses me the most I know warping markers are only meant for kick and snare but what about those long ...

Re: Official DJ Thread using Ableton 8


Have you set it up as a control surface?

Cheers

Whats up S4racen. Well this is the tricky part I did set it up as Control surface. In my Midi/Sync options I chose APC40 for all 6 options on the left, the middle/input is all set to USB, and the right/output is set to my sound card. Now ...
