Ableton Forum

I would like to get a better idea of how people are using Abelton in the club/performance setting. I find the mixing tutorial included with the program questionable, as it takes so much effort to dig into each song you want to mix and adjust each single drum kick to the correct position if the the "warp from start (straight)) function doesn't do the trick. I'm finding myself spending so much time doing "prep work" on songs that I want to play out, I'm wondering if I'm doing the right thing. Lets hear how your doing it and maybe we'll all learn something new!
