Can Live be integrated with the Pioneer DJM 600 mixer?

I was wondering if this was possible?

If so, can someone explain how?

well, the djm600 can't control live in anyway. you can certainly run audio to the mixer from live, just like you would run audio to any mixer.

Yo! I do this and it works GREAT! I have 4 separate outs from Live going to each channel on the DJM600, and have the master out on the DJM600 routed back INTO Live for recording. Adding effects to a Live mix using the mixer is piss easy.

I also have a UC-33e which I use to control effects parameters in Live.

But, yeah - the DJM600 goes GREAT with Live.

Explain your set-up a little and I'll try to sort you out.

I'm a bit of a newbie with all of this so I'll just risk the flames and come out with my less than intelligent questions.

I'm a Vinyl come CD dj who plays out at clubs etc quite a bit. Decided to take the plunge and bought a Mac with ableton, yet to be delivered. But the area I need help with is the connection side.

At home I've got Vinyl/CD's and a DJM600. What are my choices there from a connection point of view? I've got a EchoDJ card but that's going to limit me I think. I guess ultimately I want to be able to mix from CD to ableton to CD, so need a system which means I can match bmp to ableton or do I still do that by ear? I guess I'd also need a midi device to control ableton so I've got some control there when mixing.

When I take my laptop to the club I guess you can't assume what gear they'll have so I need to take my MIDI device and also connect the mac through my soundcard to one of the mixer channels? Isn't that a pain if it's all covered up.

As you can see plenty of questions, so are there any other DJ's out there who do what I want to do, and what is your setup. Even if you went to a club which had say a DJM800 would you have time to assign all the MIDI controls to ableton?

Thanks in advance for your help
