If good music coming out the speakers is all anybody cares about,than why bother putting on djs,artists at all? why not just stick on a cd of good music and stomp about to that??
I take it your an ableton user also?:)
I have no problem with an Ableton set whatsoever. As long as it is more than channel mixing and level tweaking. If you are going to do basic mixing, use tables or CDJs. If you are going to use ableton, utilize it's advanced functions. Effects, additional synth and drum lines, loops and so on. And no I don't use ableton, but don't hate on it. I'm not a luddite.
I dont hate ableton....i just cringe at the idea of using to dj...."Hey, i can have 8 diffrent trks mixing at once!" yeah, very easy when there all kept in time for you...and for all those that say "yeah,but i get bored of mixing a record then waiting before mixing the nxt"....thats just a matter of what level you take your mixing to....Mix them quick,1 off 1 on, double them up, get a 3rd or 4th turntable going..etc..whatever.
Thats my view on it anyway.....think its time this got back to being a, search for
BOA guest Dj
yer a use ableton and i know the beatmatchings done for you after warpin its really a money issue for me mixed vinyl for 15 years so beatmatching was easy anyway i can see your point with people who can t beat match so use ableton thats not right but when you can beat match with vinyl and use locked grooves i don t think its cheating with ableton if you buy me some new pioneers a won t use ableton to dj with ok :lol:Quote:

Ok mate...just my opinion.
ummm to think of a dj who is on here and isnt a friend of mine lol................................... i really enjoyed sunhil when i heard him a while back at locked, quality tunage!!!!!
Ableton is shit and so are decks and vinyl. What ye want is a set 'o' spoons. I can play a 5 hour live spoon set. beat that fu*kers.
think it's best to take the argument of digital v turntables etc to the sticky at the top of the forum, lets keep on track in this thread please, thanks.
