i'm pretty sure this is the right section of the forum, this isn't so much a production question as it is a question regarding what many techno djs/producers are doing these days.... forgive me if this is the wrong section...

so i'm wondering what is the concensus amongst the techno community regarding dj sets or "live remix" sets performed with Ableton Live?

Surgeon is doing it, Ho is doing it, i've heard Hawtin might be using Ableton for the next DE9 CD.
on a personal level, I know Adam Jay was using Ableton for live sets, and Final Scratch for DJ sets... started running them simultaneously, and now he's doing it all in Ableton, sort of like a "live remix" set. bits and pieces from his live pa cleverly mixed in with edits of other folk's tracks he made for final scratch. Being able to go from Monoid style stuff down all the way to 110bpm Dexter and Funkstorung, and back up to Speedy J smoothly, all tracks being specificly edited by him and mixed with his own live material - it seems to work for him.

What do you folks think? On the Ableton forum its quite a debate, you have folks that say DJing means beatmatching, folks that say DJing means making people dance, and folks that say so long as you are doing more with ableton as you could with turntables - its all good, in other words do it to its fullest no matter what you use.

whatcha think?
