Videos of blending tracks on the FLY

Post by junqueira » Thu May 01, 2014 8:10 pm

Hey everyone! I'm new to DJing with Ableton. Can someone point me to videos that effectively show how to blend tracks ON THE FLY in ableton? Since I'm familiar with producing in Ableton, I already understand music theory and mixing songs in the same key. What I need help with is tips on how to effectively trigger different songs on the fly and throw together a 1 hour set. Thanks!

Basically follow any of these tutorials which show you how to DJ in session view ("on the fly" triggering songs).

Then just be sure to hit the main record button on the transport and the session will get recorded to the arrangement view. If you want to play back what you did, go to the arragement view.
