My current ableton setup is a microKontrol and an Evolution UC-33

I run 8 channels.. basically
Chan 1 - Drums
Chan 2 - Bass
Chan 3 - Synth
Chan 4 - Synth/efx/loop

then repeat for the other 4 channels.. i consider it a hybrid of live and dj, whereas i remix 2 songs together live.. i like it.. it works for me..


On the UC-33, I've got 3 band EQ and volume for each track.. I use Next/Prev buttons to scroll thru my set.. On the microKontrol, I've got cutoff and resonance for each track.. I use the pads as mutes and start selected sample.. then i can scroll around on the uc and start loops on the microkontrol...
