Recording your DJ Sets in Live

[djlt]

Hi,

I want to record my Live DJ session but I am wondering how. I was using Super Mp3 recorder to record all other stuff and when I used to play on Decks but it does not seem to work well with Live. I am using an Audiophile Firewire but also have an internal sound card.

Thanks,

Leslie.

You don't need anything. Simply press record, now start Djing (firing clips, moving faders, tweaking fx) when you're done, Live will have made an arrangement of everything you did.

This is one way of working with Live: You Jam clips in the session view and everything you do becomes an arrangement, wheter that's composing a track or Djing makes no difference.

When you're happy with your DJ set (you could make edits...) render to disk, and convert to MP3 if that's what you want it to be.

Hope you find this helpful.

Do I need to setup an Audio track to record it into or can I just hit record? Will the render process take ages if I record a 2 hr set?

or you directly record your mix into a wave/aiff file. just arm another track, select the input on "master", press the record button in this track and performe your mix. don't forget to mute the recording track.

You can just hit record. advantage is that if you make a mistake you can edit. Don't know how long it would take to render. On a good computer it's many times faster than real-time.

And also (like the other poster sais) you could record in a spare audio track with input set to master. Hadn't thought of that... duh.

ive used a plug in called tapeit (google should find it)

put it on your master, hit record and off it goes.... its not perfect but it saves rendering since it records while your playing.

i use it every time i practice just to make an mp3 to listen to the next day on a walkman.... never had any problems yet, but i havnt tried it out for a four hour live set in public yet.

plz help

here's my situation.
I put some mastering effect on master track for mastering effect purpose.

But when I record my mix, every tracks has recorded but not master track.

So, in other words, master track with mastering chain doesn't work for recording.

If I could render master track that recorded with mastering device, the mix would be more smooth thank to the mastering effects.

I've gone through the mastering, and dj mix recording thread to some extent. Do you guys have any new suggestions or opinion, comment that you found lately?

thank you fory our suggestions in advance.

I use Audio Hijack on my mac to record live sets. You can choose the quality of MP3 or wave file you want and it records in real time.

It also doesn't take away from your CPU too much as well.
