my point being that having only a laptop on stage and standing clicking a mouse for 90 minutes or so must be the most awefull boring 'show' imaginable...


interesting hijacking of my original thread, but cool nevertheless.

Vince, you ever seen the chemical brothers 'live'? who cares if they are ...

good point r.e. rights management, ive seen a lot of content protection using digital licences in media player, but I dont know how it would work in a DJ context where the format must be a) high quality and b) highly transportable across different audio apps. very interesting tho, im yet to find a ...

nice one, cheers.

due to my use of live, id like to be able to buy decent music (the kind of stuff I usually get as vinyl from places like www.juno.co.uk) but in WAV or MP3 form.

Does anybody (specifically in the UK) know of any online shops or record labels who are missing out the middle man and selling the ...

supatrigga? hmm, never heard of it. will investigate. nice one.

Should be no problem, the file types are standard across windows versions. You might notice a performance hit though, as XP has a load of services (background apps) that you dont get with old versions of windows.

Nice work AJ, im trying to find a decent bjork vocal for processing and putting in my techno/breaks mixes, any recs?

excellent advice chaps, this is one of the reasons why Live is so awesome, great community. Cheers for taking time to reply.

mettkea, thats exactly what ive been looking at...any problems with it being firewire and not USB/MIDI?

Nice one Jes/statik...

dear all,

ive been playing with Live now for a few weeks, and have come to the conclusion its an amazing tool for DJ's. Before using it I thought it would take away all of the fun/spontaneity/randomness/hands on bits that we love about DJ-ing, but I think its going to create something different to ...
