APC40 is no longer available.

Thanks for all the replies guys! I appreciate all the insight. The key issue for me is not whether another digital tool, e.g. Traktor, is a better fit for performing. I have little doubt that I would prefer to play with Traktor over Live if I gave the former a chance. That's irrelevant at the moment...

I ordered the CDJs yesterday. This stuff has to go!

What do you produce 'music' with? Ableton Live 8 on my PC :) The MacBook Pro was purchased purely as a DJing tool and, so, now that I no longer want to use it for DJing I am willing and able to sell it. One day down the line I guess I'll get a Mac for producing but my current PC system is more than...

you bought all that to START djing????? lol talk about impulse buy. thats a kind of dream set up for lots of people and he doesn't want it....guess it takes all kinds. It wasn't an impulse buy at all, really. I researched for a long time before I decided on this gear. Plus, it's not like I'm new to...

Bump!

One the one hand - good call. No DJ should be taken seriously unless they can mix on CDJs / Vinyl. on the other - it's really not that hard. You could potentially learn on someone elses setup. A girl I know does not have her own setup, has had maybe 7-8 sessions round mine, and a few sessions on ot...

Nice setup - what a shame ! How come you've decided to move to CDJs ? Two main reasons: 1. Personally, the setup equates to too much gear. It's too much stuff for me to lug around to and setup (and tear down!) at gigs. As a newer DJ a lot of the gigs I'll be getting will be lounge/bar-based which f...

*edit: APC40 is no longer available* Hi guys. I've decided to move away from the digital setup and instead learn how to mix on CDJs. As a result, I'm selling my nearly brand new setup. - Apple MacBook Pro 15"; Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.53Ghz; 320GB hard drive; Nvidia Geforce 9400M; 4GB ram (upgraded...

And I'd really like to figure out how to do the two questions in my last post. Watch the video I posted above: I can create 1, 2, and 4-bar loops on the fly w/ the APC40 as well as halve the loops over and over again. Plus, with the new Reaktor version of Darren's template I am no longer experienci...

This is how I use the APC40: http://vimeo.com/6937677

Good morning! The vast majority of the tracks I play can be grouped into techno (banging and 'drugy'), tech house, and minimal (bouncy and driving). Nearly every tune I have can be downloaded legally from http://www.beatport.com : each track costs about $2.00 USD. For an example of some of the tunes...
