...because sometimes the new ableton controller, a xone 92, cdj 1000s, and an efx 1000 won't cut it.

Nice sunglasses

Cool setup too, why a new ableton controller? What happened to Maven?

Posted by Tegu on Mar-29-2005 09:34:

it is the Maven

Posted by Nick Mimas on Mar-29-2005 09:54:

Oh ok sorry bro' I thought you meant something newer than Maven when you said 'New Ableton Live Controller'.

i have seen that amount of gear before. but i just would not have a clue what to do with all of that.
is sasha and james like djing together?

cause it would be bloody hard rokin up and you dj'n with another dj.

Yeah bro' they DJ together like a team like Deep Dish, Daft Punk, Blank & Jones etc. but they work two different things instead of the same equipment. They of course have practised before so they each know what do when and how to do it in conjunction with what the other is doing. Sasha takes care of Ableton Live and Maven and James works the CDJ's and his wild scratch moves.

Nah bro', phsyical Ableton Live controller made by Sasha. It looks like a mixer with green lights. It's in the bottom left corner of the picture. Sasha made it and he uses it in conjuntion with a laptop. Invented because he believed seeing some guy DJ with a mouse is boring as shit!

Posted by Salem on Mar-30-2005 06:15:

holla fuck, sasha looks like such a strung out fiend

Sasha should release it commercially, he is sitting on a gold mine

Posted by webbie on Mar-30-2005 09:55:

From what ive read Sasha didnt build it, he gave whatever company that produced it his thoughts on what he needed, so its really not Sasha
that owns the rights, he just owns the only piece. Thats what ive read anyways.

Yeah but if you were in Sasha's shoes where every DJ is coming up with new ideas everyday and it's hard to stay unique you'd obviously want to be the only one who's got one.

Most likely bro', I'm sure he understands the electronics inside of the equipment but he would never have time to build it. He's just too busy a brother.
