someone please explain this to me? do you all think that ableton sets are presequenced? i have a choice of over 300 tracks when i play a dj set from ableton... theres nothing presequenced about it.
You missed my point there I think... I'm not talking about ableton sets where people are mixing tracks like a DJ or mixing sections or loops. That's using new technology to good effect (though if yr just mixing tracks I don't reckon that's live) and I'm all for it.

The point was this set i'm talking about, listening too it I was thinking wow, this is the best, tightest live set I've heard for ages, but when I saw what was actually on the laptop it was just 10 wavs, prearranged and all the guy was doing was playing with a few effects over the top. That ain't even djing imo, and can't really respond to anything, unless your thinking "oh, shall I send all this to a huge reverb now or not?"

The point I'm making is the technology's so open to abuse - it's not much more than miming!
ok thats a little milly vanilli alright.. but thats how not to use it...
