Right in the middle of those 2, price-wise, is the BCF2000.
I have the BCR & it works great with Live.
I think it's a great bang/buck & versitile.
They aren't USB powered, but who is doing laptop sets where there are no outlets?

Add Your Own Lessons

I just upgraded to Live 5 & tried to add notes to a project as outlined in this thread by hoffman2k: http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16857 It seems like Live now looks for Lessons in a different place, so I put together a similar way to write your own Lessons. However, these are glo...

You can adjust the pitch on the turntable to until it matches Live, then fade it over. You really only need 1 of the 2 sources to be adjustable if you think about it. For example, if for some reason you wanted to mix a turntable with an ipod, just ride the turntable's pitch for the whole set.

Cool.

You could also drop a break into Simpler & automate the start time & length, but it might be too hard to make it quantized. I may add that one later.

3 ways to edit Breaks

Hi. I threw this quick tutorial together to show 3 different ways to approach break editing in Live for those that are new to the software. It's a self-contained Live 4 file (waiting for 6 to upgrade), so just unzip the whole thing & load the .als. You may need to turn on view>lessons to see the...

Is this supported in Live4? I want to dig deeper in to live mixing, but don't want to have everything saved in the same file in order to use follow actions. Dragging groups of clips into the browser does nothing, like the goggles. Am I doing something incorrectly?

I started reading Mixing With Your Mind , since mixdowns are so confusing to me. The guy actually tells you how to go about it, rather than listing gear or showing page after page of bubbles inside cubes. I decided to buy it after reading the pdf chapter about compressors. It made it so simple. The ...

Down the street from me there are two Starbucks at the same intersection, literally across the street from each other. Seems so silly. I'm neutral about the place really, but I do like more atmosphere with my coffee than they have to offer.

Wow. "92 Starbucks Stores found within 5 miles of 77006." Can this be correct?
