But why do you need the audio coming into live for that. You hear the main audio from the speakers and you can tap the tempo from that. What's the use of having the audio coming into Live?
You don't need audio going through Live for that. Not sure why he is doing it that way.

so he can effect his cd's the same way he would his clips, i would assume

yeah,by routing my dj mixer through live, i can use all the effects and stuff. downside is that if it did crash, i'd be screwed!!! you could easily do it the other way round e.g put the output of the computer into the dj mixer. swings and roundabouts really though!

I don't know if I'll be using Ableton again this weekend. I'll let you know if I do. I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle. I love looping stuff in clever ways but i'm not sure if it's appreciated by average joe in thecrowd.
