Again. Are you fucking serious?

no, i was not being serious. wanted to see if anyone would actually be so umm, I dunno what the word is, to take me seriously.

I was serious about the thread though, I think it's a good achievement.

every time either i or anyone else says anything mindly intelligent that questions anything about you it never gets a response. while i could come up with numerous theories in the regards to the origin of this, i only going to post one. its because were right, and you don't want to face it or say anything to it, hoping that it will just go away. and thats sad.

with that you will probably just say something stupid, post a you-tube clip or something like that, and its ok, cause we understand.

also my comment has nothing directly to do with this thread. although it didn't hurt. whatever i guess.

Ok, some faith in you has been restored.

And yes, a grammy can be considered an achievement, depending on what you want to do with your life. It definitely looks good on paper to record companies and marketing firms.

If you want to make really great music, or are, it is mostly irrelevant.

yes, you are right.

Originally posted by dynomite8 if you are using ableton to dj other peoples music, it means you arent djing. if you are using ableton and you have the parts to songs, ie your own, it means you are remixing live on the fly, making new tracks. obviously some people are using it as a hybrid, part live, part dj. the advantage ableton gives you, is that it beatmatches all audio for you so that you can spend your time layering and looping things. so if you are talking about a dj set. it is making the songs the same speed, meaning if someone is doing a ableton dj set, the songs are already more or less pre decided, and they are pre beatmatched taking both mixing, and programming out of the equation. leaving . . .i guess. . . equing?

wrong, well partly. i'm not going to argue about the definition of djing.

all i'm going to say is that if you just put all your tracks on ableton and hit sync it will NOT sync them to the beat, because as everyone knows bpm keeps changing throughout the track, that's why even if you have two tracks at 128 bpm synced on two cdjs, the beats will go off.

you actually have to go through each and every track and mark the beats, so that when ableton does sync them it keeps doing it as the bpm changes. if you do not mark your beats it will base the syncing off of the bpm at the start of the track.

so you think most people who get Grammy's don't deserve them.

actually your wrong. about 98.8% of tracks produced today are the same exact beat the entire way through. the reason you have to adjust the markers is because its virtually impossible to put them in the perfect place, so eventually it will be behind or in front of the beat.

everyone doesn't know that bpm's change throughout a track because this isn't 1994 anymore. people mostly use software programs, the only reason a track would have a varying bpm is if it was on purpose, which almost is never done, or it was done on old hardware.

so .. you really have no idea what your talking about. sorry.

Very few of my tracks do that, mostly, as Matthias said, the older ones produced on loosely synced hardware and stuff.

I would also put it on the order of 2% of the music I get has noticeable drift. Most tracks I can warp in ableton in about 10 seconds.

I would suggest buying music via reputable sources, and avoiding vinyl rips and vbr mp3s.

right, so basically you still have to manually adjust the markers, which is what i said.

i get my music from beatport, totally legit and i still have noticed lots of drifting, especially on trancier stuff more, or anything that has a faster bpm.

while you did say that you have to change the warp markers, you also said its because the bmp changes. now your saying it drifts.

for the second time: the bpm does not change. drifting, in the real case is that the track, that you didn't cue or warp mark perfectly is now slowly or quickly coming out of beat with the other track.

the only reason you have to adjust on a CDJ is because its basically impossible to hit the play button exactly on beat, so even if you have them perfectly beat matched (considering pitch +/- that is also impossible) its not going to matter.

faster tracks, you will see it more apparent since the track with have more bars in a given amount of time, meaning its even harder.

okay man sorry for getting the wrong idea across, i apologize, but you get what i mean, so what i'm just trying to say is that it's not as easy as just pushing the warp button on ableton to mix, that's all.

that would be correct. but, it also only takes about 15 seconds a song, if that to place warp markers and get a song ready to mix. i would say, in theory it is quicker for the average person to get a track ready in ableton that doesn't have markers set then it is to beat match on cdj's.

with that, i don't see any reason why a person would ever dj using ableton without already having them set.

well yes, 15 seconds, but it's really not that hard to beatmatch either, maybe not 15 seconds, but it could be close.
