I wouldn't be against it myself but I imagine alot of classical fans wouldn't like it, since most of them I know are purists.

you could sample in beethoven & motzart. That would be unreal.

Put it on top of the right tune/elements and you might have the next big trance hit.

Sandstorm...have u got ableton? Seen it in use? used it urself? Know ANYTHING about it besides the fact it sorts out the tempo of tracks?? Which to be honest most people on here can do no problem anyway.

It doesn't sort out out the tempo itself. You have to put the Warp markers in the right places to have accurate tempo, wich IMO takes equal (if not more) time then beatmatching on turntables.

one thing you're all forgetting
ableton was designed much more for liveact then it was for either djing or standard production

as such, djs are unlikely to be the ones to use it to the fullest.

I agree with that.
A friend of mine once did a live gig where he had chopped all his songs to loops. He then recreated his songs with Ableton. It was pretty cool seeing it used that way.

I'm sure most of the people bashing ableton have never seen a DJ use it, and have never tried to use it themselves.

I played around with the demo using the samples from Airdrawndagger off Sasha's site...and it is NOT easy to acheive a good sound right off the bat.

Anyone who has listened to Fundacion NYC vs. Involver (both mixed via Ableton AFAIK) can tell how much BETTER Sasha has gotten at using the software.

Fundacion NYC, mixing wise, is a work of art...you could NEVER acheive this sound with conventional tables. And the fact that Sasha can do this LIVE at gigs is mind blowing.

HAHA....no matter how hard i try the warp markers always seem off, when i first started i got so involved that i was considering kick the hell out of my pc

Ive got respect for anyone who can do warp marking without gett pissed off.

I mean...I have trouble matching up TWO sounds, like kick drums...not to mention synths, percs, bass etc...

I wish I had a controller

purists are narrow minded. so their opinions are irrelevant to me! i love incorporating classical stuff into sets!
