me and Dolphin do a live jam in ableton. Break down all our tracks into layers and throw them over each other so its kinda like a freestyle live set. Dont just stand about with a bottle of beer either, always busy triggering things and ****ing the sound around.
i can understand people being pissed at ableton djs just standing around and smoking.. there are also a lot of vinyl djs that do just that. But yeh, it is even more boring watching someone with just a light in their face being still and looking like theyre not enjoying themselves.
It's truly bizarre how a style of music based around new innovations in technology, which were sneered upon by musicians who played "real instruments," manages to have fans that can be so technophobic nowadays. Whoda thunk?
yes.Quote:

It's partially that, Slav. But, I also find it funny how people bitch about the guy who "smokes a cig and holds a drink" while playing with Ableton. I mean, seriously, why does anyone give a ****? I dunno about the rest of you but, when someone is playing music that I like well in a club/rave environment, I'd usually be too busy dancing my ass off to even know what the DJ looked like behind the decks. If I cared about a stage show, I'd go see Motley Crue. :p
well, truth be told, one of the strengths of DJing is that it is improvisational. i find hearing DJs to be similar to seeing jazz in that respect. if i hear someone do an ableton set, i'd like to either see them improvising with their material, working and manipulating the music to create something really unique. i'm all for ableton sets when performers do this.
if they just press play, let the tracks roll out and sit back, why did i just pay all that ca$h to hear them?
ok let me amend that...should read
"if i hear someone do an ableton set, i'd like to either see them improvising with their material, or working and manipulating the music to create something really unique. preferrably both."
:clap: i HATE lads standing watching me!!! they always stand right in front of the moniter!! bastardsQuote:
