DJ mixes done in Live unfortunately suffer from a "static" sound due to the perfect locking of the tempo between tracks. What gives a DJ mix "vinyl" character is the slight pulling back of one track to cause it to drift closely, but not perfectly, in and slightly sync with another track. To achieve this in Live, currently the only way is to use a mouse on the start marker of a track and move it forward slightly and back. The track nudger found in the clip seems only to work with a quantised amount and is of no use for this type of thing. Another way is to move the track delay up or down slightly per track, although this doesn't work too well.
So how about a dedicated track nudger that you can drop in per track, assignable to midi that moves around with the delay? This would be a great feature and lead to much more vinyl-like mixing, freeing up the static perfect sync character currently dominating. If other users have any successful ways of achieving this already, please post those techniques here.
