yeah i like the old beat repeat, i also have a plugin called live cut which gives some good mangling , so any longish files i should basically go in soundforge first cut the start points and save as mp3, then when i open in ableton just do what u said and everything will be coolio yes? ill try now

what do u reckon about sampling parts of records even the whole record if u want to play them during the set ? is it easer to just have a turntable set up or to get them as tracks in the ableton thingy .
