Ableton is a great piece of shit....use it for live sets myself, but i appreciate a set much more when done on a turntables,cdjs etc..
Ableton is a savior to all those who are a bit ropey at beatmixing....probably gonna get jumped on now for that comment ,but f*ck it :)

its also a savior to those who can t afford 6 pound a record ,7 hundred pound each for Pioneer CDJ-1000 MK3s the focus should be the music not whats its played on : just need to take away the what you playin on its gettin a it anal now as long as theres good music coming out the speakers who cares

I get what your saying mate relating to price of vinyl,cdj1000 etc...
Like i said,i use ableton myself for live sets, but as for using it to dj,...i just dont think much of that at all...anyone can do that...nxt thing will be, it mixes the trks for ya too!
If good music coming out the speakers is all anybody cares about,than why bother putting on djs,artists at all? why not just stick on a cd of good music and stomp about to that??

I take it your an ableton user also?:)

I have no problem with an Ableton set whatsoever. As long as it is more than channel mixing and level tweaking. If you are going to do basic mixing, use tables or CDJs. If you are going to use ableton, utilize it's advanced functions. Effects, additional synth and drum lines, loops and so on. And no I don't use ableton, but don't hate on it. I'm not a luddite.

I dont hate ableton....i just cringe at the idea of using to dj...."Hey, i can have 8 diffrent trks mixing at once!" yeah, very easy when there all kept in time for you...and for all those that say "yeah,but i get bored of mixing a record then waiting before mixing the nxt"....thats just a matter of what level you take your mixing to....Mix them quick,1 off 1 on, double them up, get a 3rd or 4th turntable going..etc..whatever.
Thats my view on it anyway.....think its time this got back to being a, search for

yer a use ableton and i know the beatmatchings done for you after warpin its really a money issue for me mixed vinyl for 15 years so beatmatching was easy anyway i can see your point with people who can t beat match so use ableton thats not right but when you can beat match with vinyl and use locked grooves i don t think its cheating with ableton if you buy me some new pioneers a won t use ableton to dj with ok :lol:

[markandrew]

the thing is with ableton you get classed as a cheat using it to dj with even tho you can mix vinyl a bit harsh i think good music coming out of the speakers thing i mean 1210s or ableton why did they make it to dj with if u get slated for using it for djing with, should they have made it so u cant just dj with it so you just play your own stuff made on it thats what it seams even if you play your own tunes and loops that you produced they still get beat matched by it so its back to square one anyway back to the topic in hand no mix from me for fear of a lynching for using ableton to dj with :lol:

Ok mate...just my opinion.
