Newbie needs help with DJing-- looking for a Skype mentor

Post by djspirit » Wed Jun 15, 2011 3:23 pm

Hey Folks,

I've just switched to Live from another program, and am getting through the learning curve as quickly as possible. I've watched dozens of online tutorials on YouTube and elsewhere, and have been playing around with Live for a couple of weeks.

I have a ton of little questions about how to approach DJing on-the-fly, esp. working with session vs.arrangement view. It would be better to handle these questions in a realtime dialog rather than to try to explain/itemize them all in a discussion board post.

I'm looking for a generous & experience Live user or two who would be willing to have a 5-10 minute Skype call to answer question and give me some advice. Please help mentor this passionate but confused DJ?!

Send me a direct message if you are willing and I will send you my skype ID.

Many Thanks,

Spirit

Maybe try asking over on Abletonlivedj.com too. Or ask DJ Vespers over at http://vespers.ca.

Thanks Tarekith...

I'm trying to register for abletonlivedj.com, and can't seem to get past the anti-spam question, "Name one Ableton instrument"

I've tried putting in the names of a lot of different instruments from the Essential instrument collection2, and it keeps telling me my entries are not valid. Any ideas?

Thanks,

spirit
