HELP with beat matching

Post by danielfazzina » Wed Feb 10, 2010 10:21 pm

How the fk do you sync tunes on DJ set...

Lined up tracks, but don't know how or what button to press to beat match, which is the bloody reason I bought Live 8

Thanks kids, :evil:

There's no button to push.

Read about Warping.
Read about Launching clips.
Read about Global quantization.

Wouldn't it have been a good idea to inform yourself about a program and maybe even try the demo before you spend 100s of €/$/£ just to find out it doesn't do what you want?

If you want a sync button get traktor or one of the other "classical" style DJing programms. The way Ableton works is very different.

it's kind of a deep subject. it also take a little practice.

if you'd like, you can send some mp3s to
tonedeftsucks@yahoo.com
and I'll warp the set for you, maybe even show you a few tricks. I promise to delete the mp3s when I'm done.

look it up in the manual and search youtube for videos, there are instruction videos out there.

then come back here and ask short to the point answers. we're here (way too much!! :oops: )

this is the very main reason why ableton was so looked down upon by the dj community when it first came out..
