albeton-how does it work??

Exactly.

It's good to hear that people are embracing Ableton more and more, it's the future and doesn't need to be held back by people who are of the opinion that you need to beatmatch stuff to dj. It takes me about twenty to thirty seconds to get something cue'd up on the decks, you can do a whole lot more in that time with Ableton that people can actually hear.

It's the slack dj who just uses it to play full tracks that's the problem.

there's nothing wrong with using ableton to just mix full tracks imo, sometimes that's all i want to do and hear, there's nothing wrong with listening to good tracks being played, but yeah sometimes it's nice to see/do more chopping, loops and general pissing about

I remember having a conversation with another forum member who was basically telling me that Ableton had got itself a bad name because people were using it to easily beatmatch and mix between full tracks, and I think he and I agreed in the end that a) Ableton should not just be limited to or pigeon-holed as a tool for emulating traditional dj-ing skills and b) it is capable of so much more with such mind-boggling ease that it really would be a shame not to, if you see what I mean.

it's all personal choice, should be able to use what ever you want for doing what ever you want.

sometimes i just want to hear tunes being played in all their glory as the producer who wrote them intended, sometimes i want to hear some trickery and people reworking tracks, playing loops etc.
