no hiss that heard and it was pretty cranked.

if he ever performs it again, go see BT do This Binary Universe live. it still remains one of the best live performances I've ever seen. I took a buddy who is mainly rock focused and had no interest in electronica at all. he left with a new view on life.

getting back from my first time playing out with the zero4 and thought i'd post here and let you all know how it went. first my setup: very minimal -- powerbook G4, zero4.... that's IT. i'd love to add a CD player to that for backup and options. maybe after i get my bonus at work this year... ableto...

I have been putting together a set of very different-sounding music -- different genres, different vibes (its for a specific event). in the beginning some of the songs vary quite a bit by BPM and so I leave them un-warped and just play them. since i'm not going to mix them like i would a house tune ...

i agree with laird on this. Live's main failing is that its so close to being a usable DAW but lacks some of the features that make editing easy in apps like Logic and ProTools (and the others). in-track crossfades between clips is the big one and the one that frustrated me and my other music-head b...

I recently played a live dj set and had some issues with glitching and popping and it got me thinking that I should look into different hardware that would integrate with Ableton Live as a potential solution. In my search I ran across this: Mackie d.2 2-Channel DJ Mixer http://www.musiciansfriend.co...

alesis multimix 8 firewire. decent mixer. good sound. very compact. i should note that i seem to be having issues with detached drives running thru their firewire ports though. i'm getting a new hub and i'll see if its the mixer or the port and report back. other than the drive issues, its been an a...

and to do it on a mac, use aggregate sound devices. i have it working fine in live5 right now (it won't work in traktor dj studio for some reason). i set up my internal sound (via coreaudio) routing the cue mix out of my headphone jack on the powerbook and the multimix8 handles the other output.

i'm a dunce. How are you using it exactly (with midi)?

go buy his cd. its really good. i think i may have even played a song or two during a show here or there :) i have some write-ups of my current set up here --> http://sidechain.blogspot.com/ and here's a jpg diagram of my current production environment: http://helixx.morpheus.net/tunes/current%20set...

Roxio Toast with Jam 6 seems to be a name that comes up a lot for Mac purposes. It even comes with a version of Peak Bias. one of the features listed is :
"DJ style mixing and mastering system"

apart for showing peoples you own a laptop ,there is no real point in using live if you just play one track after the other . :!: i actually heard james zabiela say this in an interview. here's the link: http://kcrw.com/cgi-bin/db/kcrw.pl?show_code=mt&air_date=07/18/05&tmplt_type=Show there...

thoughts on flytrap: love the builds and drops. there are some sections where you're doing filter sweeps that affecting the entire mix but they sound too... too much i guess. if the drums kept pounding as the filters changed the feel, it might feel like a more cohesive break from the synth rhythm. i...

hard to think of them all of the top of my head. heres's a go. some of my favorite mix cds: sasha - fundacion nyc danny howells - global underground miami james zabiela - utilities high contrast - mixmag live john digweed - fabric 20 some of my favorite artist albums: boards of canada - campfire hea...

i have a set of sennheiser hd590's. i was torn between them and the beyerdynamic dt770 pro's. i like the sennheisers quite a bit but i hear the dt770's are pretty sweet.
