You want to add samples? Get a third deck.
Face it. Until you can obtain multitrack recordings, Ableton doesn't add anything to your DJing. And even then, it makes it more like a Live PA set than a DJ set.
... strictly DJing whith full tracks in live is boring as hell. I've done it. I took time off my decks to learn Ableton really well, and I decided it was a waste of time and energy because it takes no effort.
by the way:
let me guess .. you spent all that effort learning how to DJ with Live - duplicating what you can do with decks and CDJs (basically)
then you played for people ... and you took some shit from other (vinyl) DJs, and maybe some of the people in the club made smartass comments
because you were obviously DJing the same old way, but from behind a laptop, and they couldnt hear any difference
so you got scared, started paying lip service and agreeing with them, and you gave up
ya?
suprisingly - if you do it half way well - people do notice the difference and will come right out and tell you.
because if you have some vision to be creative with it, and they hear it and like it,
well then at least you had the balls to believe in what you were doing and went ahead with it, not really giving a fuck what anybody else thought of it
