Ableton Forum

Nice review. I've had the Octatrack since November and a few months ago I spent two straight weeks just trying to get my head around all that it can do and what I wanted to do with it. I found that I'm a bit more reserved (or grounded) in the way I that go about using it because the endless capabili...

Ha ha. Thanks for re-amplifying the Native Issue. No one will read it but there's some meat in there. I've made up my mind and moved on. I've actually decided to keep Serato. I am also hoping Serato and Ableton consider what's at stake with this new Remix Decks and F1 controller stuff. It's time for...

My Serato SL4 pack showed up today and I'm not sure yet if I'm going to return it. I have a few days to consider but I asked myself "what's the problem?". I don't have an answer for that and I can't just say that I'm going to "try" Serato anymore. One key thing I have to accompli...

I think I'll stick with Traktor.
I can continue doing what I do (using Live and Traktor) even though Advanced HID, Scratch Certification and the Bridge ain't here.
I could have other things in Serato, but I'd lose a bunch of things I've become comfortable with.

Bump...(not to be forgotten)

Let it go dude. Yeah thanks - I'm moving on. I have to admit that I haven't see too many DJs (outside of the US) using Serato these days. I think that even timecode with Traktor is getting a bit scarce because phono turntables aren't everywhere anymore and the CDJs, as stable as they are, they are ...

Update: OK. This is like a blog now (a bit off topic but still important to what I started with) I now get what the issue was but Freshfluke wouldn't just come out and say it. It took them to ban me before I knew that Point 1) Apparently Native Instruments doesn't like it when you say anything that ...

I've been using Live with Traktor Scratch Pro 2 for over a year now and I'm considering switching to Serato for the Bridge because its an integrates. I know about the differences between Serato Scratch Live and Traktor Scratch Pro 2 so I'm mentally prepared for some transitional issues but I would l...

How is the Bridge?

Anyone have any issues with a USB mixer as your main mixer?

I ended up getting banned in the Native forums. I'm still suspicious of what the real hot-button issue was but that was so weak..I'm actually amused that I irked someone that much without actually doing anything. In the end, this whole situation has me thinking about finding something else...I reall...

Bump. I inadvertently created a bit of a storm heading in the wrong direction within Native Instruments' F1 forums. The Moderator "DJ Freshfluke" has heavily derailed my topic, going on and on about me offending, being arrogant and acting as if I'm above everyone else simply because I poin...

So, I started a topic over at Native's forums about the Remix decks+F1 being touted the answer to Live, which "isn't for DJs" and my point was that it's not the whole picture. I use Traktor Scratch Pro 2 and perform with Live while its running in parallel on one system. It's allows me to d...

I believe you are right about the other controls outside of the main FX portion on the DB4 but I think I'm going to go with the K2s and just work out the audio input issues another way. I wouldn't get two DB4s because that is crazy +plus I need atleast eight faders in Live and I can still have the c...

What the hell is this "Abelton" you keep mentioning? I know of no such software. There's a COMPANY called Ableton. Maybe that's what you meant - but then you keep talking about controlling "Abelton", and you can't control a company with a DB4. Or a K2. Or a 1D or 2D. The softwar...

Anyone using the Allen & Heath Xone DB4 mixer for controlling/routing Ableton Live projects? I've had the DB4 mixer for almost a year now and use it to DJ. Over the year I added a Xone 1D/1D/2D trio to allow me the ability to control/route my Live projects that I perform during my sets. I am ret...
