Vestax VCM600 live setup from Mark L dj
Posted: Sat Nov 05, 2011 11:21 am
Hello guys I'm Mark L, I,m a Trance dj from Italy and like many of You I'm on a constant research of the best way to djing with Ableton live...
This is my set up:
Mac Book Pro 15''
Vestax VCM600
MAudio Profire 610
Korg KP3
Novation Launchpad (this is my new entry so I'm not gonna explain in depth about it)
Recently i build up a huge live session and a couple of effect racks witch allowed me to djing in a practice way having a lot of fun, so I want to share it because i remember when i first start with Ableton I was quite lost into is Bible.
Ok, I have 6 channel plus 2 returns like the VCM600, first 2 channels are 1 and 2 of deck A and I use them for tracks, channels 3-4and5 are deck B witch I use for play live mashups on the fly (expl 1 track and 2 loops); while on the 6th channel i build up a drum machine controlled by the Launchpad.
Any of those 6 channels has a effect rack (witch contain an EQ rack and an Effect rack) downloadable here http://www.sendspace.com/file/bdjz4s witch contains 2 racks:
1th has 3 band EQ, Filter Cutoff and Filter Sweep all midi mapped on my VCM using EQ,Frequency and Resonance knobs.
2nd has 7 different effects (Reverb,Beat Repeat, Metalizer, Filter Sweep Delay,Scratch,Fade to Grey and Ping Pong Delay) and it gets mapped from my VCM effect knobs when i press the corresponding bottom. In fact i midi mapped the 8 bottoms on the effect panel to the corresponding rack (expl bottom 1 switch on/of effect rack 1 and shows that rack, automatically the blue hand appear on this rack and the 8 knobs control the rack).
On the returns I have a delay and a reverb witch I use to give move colour to the sound.
On the master I only have a mastering rack witch contains Saturatur.8 band EQ, Multiban Dynamics,Compressor and Limiter without any effects because is where the KP3 gets in action. I strongly recommend You to try one if didn't have the chance because it's just amazing....
It contains 128 effects, sampler and synth, so the ways You can use it are a lot!!!
Hope This description will be useful for someone and if You have any questions please don't esitate to contact me!!!!!
