its called ableton live 6

i love ableton, i truly do but version 6's video facilities are quite limited at the moment. if they intergrated visual effects like the stuff in final cut, or motion that could be syncd up rythmically to the audio then that would be something special....

still, early days init!

For the final scratch users.....


Is it possible using v1.6 or v1.5.... or indeed FS 2 to sync it with ableton? To allow you to drop loops over the top of tracks?

It would be easy to play the full lot in ableton but we're looking to do something with 2 decks and ableton running loops over the top.

Erm...

If you're using Final Scratch (on decks) how the hell do you expect it to sync itself?

You can just run both through a mixer and beatmatch by ear, but unless you have some kind of mechanical interface between Ableton and the pitch slider on your decks (insane but conceivable) there's not much point in attempting to connect the two.

Some stuff in that direction can be done via the Ms Pinky Vinyls.



"Ms Pinky therefore provides a VST/AudioUnit/RTAS plugin version of her vinyl-controlled audio file player/scratcher, which we call "Pinky Pluggo". This exciting little plugin allows users of VST, Audio Unit, and RTAS-compatible host programs running under both OSX and WinXP to seamlessly integrate Ms Pinky into their music production software sessions... for the purposes of studio recording, or for live performance."
