Rane 61/Audio Kontrol 1/Ableton Live 8.3

Post by go2guy » Sun Apr 07, 2013 4:15 pm

At the risk of sounding like a complete noob I'm going to ask this anyway.... I just got a regular gig at a new club and they are using a Rane 61 mixer. Up until now I've been able to bring my own complete setup to all of my gigs but this new place has a small booth and they demand I use their mixer. Here are my questions...
1. Can I forgo my Audio Kontrol 1 and just plug usb from Macbook straight into mixer?
2. Would you recommend simply using an AUX into the mixer and using my Audio Kontrol 1?

I realize this may be completely simplistic questions but I didn't want to show up and look like a fool on my first day.
Thanks

Probably a good idea to download and install the drivers for the 61 so you have them if needed.

From there it depends if you want to continue mixing ITB or in the 61. Might want to head over to
