I know I'm risking starting this thread as it'll probably turn into a hate him/love him topic as usual but for those that might care Sasha is doing a live Essential Mix on Ableton Live this Saturday/Sunday at 1am.
Whether you like him or not it'll probably be interesting to hear something done on Ableton and how it sounds. To be honest I wouldn't go to a club to see him these days (getting on a bit now!) so I haven't heard him on Ableton.
I think it'll be useful as a Live user to at least listen once to it.
Ta!

He's also done a live set for Kiss FM back in January using Maven+Ableton...very good set. As well as a Benefit gig for the Tsunami broadcast on Proton Radio (second hour not so good). I have both on Soulseek, PM me if you want copies.
dallas!
its pretty widely known he just has a few songs in 2 live tracks and alternates between them. nothing special, lots of time for pointing at the crowd I expect.
I've done a session myself at BBC Maida Vale and it's a fantastic place, the engineers are top class as is all the equipment .. everything from tympani to clavicords, to the biggest set of monitors I have ever seen or hear. We all had to sit down from laughing at the sound when they demoed them for us!! .
I had a track that used a little hammond sample and they insisted I play their C3 and leslie instead. we had 48 tracks through their flying fader desk and they just let us do it all, they only steeped in when we needed technical advice or miking expertise. I could live in that day forever.
which leads me to wonder exactly what Sasha did there all day ?
what a waste.
presses play. smiles at engineeer. makes cup of tea. civilisation ends.

now that's funny ;AdamJay wrote:<puke>
nice sig, smutek.. heh
has it occurred to anyone the retardedness of all this hype @ these being "ableton" sets. it reminds me of when FS was first out of embedded linux and becoming a lot more popular... djs were getting billed as "final scratch set". as if previously they were getting billed as "dj'ing.. with records!"
yeah, i know this is all due to his bs marketing. and fine whatever, all disdain i may have for the crap he plays aside, more power to 'im.
i suppose i'm still under the disgusted influence of having picked up a Remix mag this weekend and seeing a piece titled "Sasha, the Inventor". people here have tried to take responsibility for this promotion tactic away from sasha and lay all the ~blame on his PR. his PR hacks work for him; he's got to approve what they do. and no, you often don't have control over what a magazine does, but the general idea for all this had to come from somewhere, and be initially blessed by someone...
puke is right.
