Apc 40 Dj template for Live 9?

[ThreadMusic]

Hey there everyone. So I'm at the point of having enough tunes to play out live. Just picked up an APC40 and have NEVER dj'd before LOL. I'm absolutely lost. I haven't felt this way in a long time. Production is up to snuff, this live playing... I'm just lost!

Saw an Emancipator show not long ago, he mixed his own tracks with a lot of other stuff throughout the set and I'd love to go that route. Is there a dj template out there for live 9? I haven't found one and have been looking all afternoon. This will marshall guy is a programmer, I am not. Would be nice to get a template and just start warping my tracks and getting everything set up...

Any ideas?

Nothing?

I created Isotonik purely out of my desire to have the APC40 work as a DJ Mixer and have Ableton replicate the features i enjoyed on Serato and Traktor such as on the fly looping...

Yea man I've definitely taken a look at that. Thing is I want to do live remixing of my track... Can this do that? I don't want to do a typical dj set where I just mix songs, I'd really love to be able to remix my stuff on the fly as well as all of the other stems I have from remix sessions....

That'd be down to the clips you put into the template, but as you can split tracks into individual sections and have them trigger the next section when each clip ends it's what i needed to do exactly as you ask...

With the on the fly looping you can really use Ableton spontaneously in remixing songs on the fly, and most important without using the mouse! Simply load your template in advance with all the clips you need!

Dub, thanks for the link, i've seen that vid. Problem is when I bounce down my stems, the return tracks don't end up on the stems so everything is so god awful dry! Don't know why that is.

S4, I can do everything I mentioned with your template? Play full tunes (other peoples) but also remix my own stuff in the same set? Just depends on what clips I decide to put in the set?

So are you guys doing like massive warping sessions in order to have all your tunes ready to go?

Do you guys have a nice convenience way of storing your .asd files? Mine are scattered throughout my hard drive because most of my warping is done with songs already in my iTunes library.

Thanks man!

OK, I know you're biased BUT.... your template vs. gangsterish vs. making my own.... what would you recommend for a total DJ noob?

I obviously don't know how to write scripts but I can midi map with the best of em

thanks again for your help man! I just want to purchase one template (or make my own) because I just can't afford to try them all out!

Head over to Macableton.com he's got a review of both mine and the Gangsterish template, can't be more impartial than that!

Personally making your own is always going to end up being the best approach, but i've been through 8 complete re-writes of mine improving it with every release and consistently taken on board subscribers feedback... www.facebook.com/IsotonikStudios come along and join the gang!!

No worries, there's a lifetime subscription competition on there at the moment as well!

I know that Will Marshall makes an awesome one. I just don't know if it works with "9." http://vimeo.com/38630111 <-- that's where you can see it in action.

Also, Ill.Gates makes one but I read in the comments that it's not working with 9.

If you think about the routing the stems would only pass through the master channel, if you render "All Tracks" they would actually end up rendered as their own WAV files. What you can do is route your sends into an audio track and then group this audio track in with your other stem layers, if that makes any sense.
