Ableton Forum

I teamed up with my friend and we played a 2 hour show filled with a mixture of our own tunes with tons of knob twiddling and button bashing and mixed with released tunes.... Girl came up to us and told us we sounded like Josh Wink... I didn't like that :( but she was hot so we let it fly D: LOL! s...

DJs rambling on and on about how aloof and misunderstood they are... excuse me while I go hurl. nobody loves a DJ more than themselves. :roll: move over. i give myself hugs DAILY! :D really, too much MTV is to blame. i would be a lead guitar player in some awesome band, but this damn dislexia just ...

You think thats bad? how about spending oooh, 20 years learning music, learning to engineer and produce, developing performance skills and techniques, writing my own tunes, then trucking out 100kg of equipment to gigs to play a 100% original set of live electronica... and some punter comes up after...

I do respect those who have had the experience of beatmatching on vinyls in a crowded club with shitty monitors and all, but again as several other people have commented, if you can eliminate that element of risk/fucking up, why not do it? I believe you should take advantage of technology. the othe...

Heh. As a producer/performer I do this onstage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9LqyBguFFE And yet countless people STILL call me a DJ. It's an insult...but on the opposite end of how Johnisfaster is being insulted. The moral is: the crowd is just dumb as a post...they don't understand what we are ...

The irony here is the huge hole in my setup: not being able to properly scrub, rewind and scratch in Ableton. It absolutely kills me the lengths I need to go to to get that kind of control when using Live. The rewind effect you hear toward the end of my vid is an example of this. I have three looper...

My comments were meant mainly towards people who mix 2 or 3 songs on Ableton, what you are doing definately deserves respect!

really appreciate that Trypset thanks!

I think it's HOW you are using Ableton that defines whether you are DJing, not IF you use Ableton. That's a blanket statement. Not to self promote but check the vid I just did for a contest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sAff5WS740 Two Decks mixed with a crossfader? check (4 times deck A and 4 tim...

shameless bump.........

Rcus, Freakin Awesome!! What is your computer specs? Johnny grabbed my specs from a previous post (i run 8.0.5 now): and my Performance Test Results: 1 ) Ableton Live CPU Meter % - 38% 2 ) Laptop/Desktop? Make/Model? - Lenovo Thinkpad T400 3 ) Operating System? - Windows XP Professional SP3 4 ) Abl...

Thanks for the view and comment sureno. You would totally dig what I was doing last night too. I just took tracks from a beatport remix contest and threw them in my set and remixed the hell out of it on the fly. Super fun geek out session with all those effects. Much more fun the spending time arran...

glad you dig it Mehalic. it was my first run with a structured remix of two songs (well first filmed run anyway). so i'm happy with how it came out. the entire Live set is actually 100% Ableton Live using no Bomes, or M4L! the scrolling effect is actually created simply using follow actions. The ver...

Spam alert, this is for a contest. Anyway I thought some of you might dig it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sAff5WS740&feature=youtube_gdata thanks alot to Tarekith and Jethroe for some effects goodness. The video quality is kind of rough but you get the idea. Feel free to ask me questions and...

Forgot about the fact that you can indeed write a custom user script for the APC40 but it's impossible to use the whole dual blue hand idea with it because that would mean you have the APC40 running on two drivers simultaneously. Again the only way it works is if you disable the APC40 from the contr...

I'm thinking at least my remote and other controller can stay locked I'll take the hit on loosing apc focus once in a while. :( that's what pisses me off the most. My remote SL does this fine. I even went so far as to try to somehow copy the python script from the SL to the APC, but it would requir...
