Ableton Forum

ok, let's officially kill this stupid topic - we all agree that AOL sucks, that the gay Sasha is not the real Sasha, and that David Hasselhoff is the greatest American export to Germany since Levis denum.

I can't believe I'm even spending another second writing this ridiculous sentence, going on and on about a topic that has no bearing or relevance whatsoever to the focus of this forum...a forum and a community that has yielded such wealth and depth of information, knowledge, and comraderie in a product that is by far one of the most creative tools in my rather large and overwhelmingly complex arsenol of electronic music making tools.

I can see what people mean bout his delay/reverb now....

Really... Really.... Really loves fading something out and leaving it running thru the sends.

anyone have any other links to sasha using live .i used to listen to him in clubs in the early nineties and he was good.havent heard his sets for ages.

oh, but wait... while we've been talking about sasha and the mix and the music, we've forgotten to "bid on sasha memorabilia" (http://music.channel.aol.com/redir.adp? ... auction%2f)

He Nebulea, I'm from Dallas! Good to see Homies in town.

All the people here talking shit about Sasha, I'll ask you a question?
Have you had the successes that Sasha has had? If not-then why the fuck are you talking shit about him? I'm not really a fan of Sasha's music because it’s not my thing, but the question is raised?

i'm not a fan of sasha or the music he plays or the way he, imo, comes across as "wow, i've done this amazing thing with ableton live--cutting up tracks and djing my own edits of things" as if it is some big deal. richie hawtin did that on his dex and efx releases, and better, ditto for the same concept on force inc's forcelab mix cd by jeff milligan. heck, djs i know here in halifax have been doing and playing reedits since cd burners were available and they don't pound their chests about it and they're happy to play their reedits just amongst friends. heck, when i did the syndicated show i played reedits i don't of things just to get more songs in the mix to expose more music each week and i never said "oh wow, i've re-edited stuff on this show, props to me, i'm so cool". yes, props to sasha for his accomplishments, props to everyone who is successful, but not liking someone and what they do ain't talkin' shit, imo. people are just expressing their opinion here: some like sasha, some don't. speaking of artists i don't like: i also don't like bt or his music or the way he goes on about "hey, i did 6 thousand edits on the vocal on this track"--talk about anal! who cares how many friggin' edits he did, and did he really do that many or was it just to puff up his ego? i just don't like these guys that come across like their facial features and their haircut matter more than their music. andrew

pretty much,
sasha is the only one with a PR agent who feels that the fact he was using Ableton deserved a "press release".

i think people like to bash sasha on this forum mainly because some people on the forum worship him (to unhealthy levels) and others get a kick out of taking the piss out of him, purely to upset these most moist and adoring fans.

If part of your audience (as a highly paid DJ/artist) are doing edgier groovier stuff than you are at their kitchen table with the same technology, I think a bit of bashing is to be expected.

I wasn't too impressed with his gigs. Mediocre house loops through Live - who cares? If you are making a splash by being a live Live performer, it better be innovative original stuff; or else you may as well not have bothered to make things complicated in order to deliver a banal conventional 4-to-the-floor mix.

and Live has been out for like almost 5 years now! Sasha acts like he went exploring in some deep dark cavern risking life and limb for musiclovers everywhere and unearthed it for everybody: sasha: "hey everybody, look what i can introduce you to: DJing with this new program called Ableton Live!" i don't give a damn about sasha, i just saw the post and gave my cdn .02 if i was sleepier i would have gone to bed by now and not bothered with even posting about him. maybe i should start a bt bashing thread?

Not only did I splice tape, but I used to mix with 1800's-not 1200's
They had pitch wheels not sliders, that shit was hard!
