"But first, this next monday ASOT 2005 will see the light of day.
A lot of people were wondering why I used Ableton live for mixing this time.
Well, a lot of DJ's out there mix their albums live, but actually
record and edit in a computer. A lot of the transitions get fixed after
the mix is done, to make the mix even better. There's nothing wrong with this,
but I thought: if we use the computer anyway, why not use the software
as an instrument, just like we use the SL1200 as an instrument for live
purposes? So I asked for all the parts of all tracks and all uncompressed
digital masters. This gave me much more creative flexibility in creating
a mix which goes further than "just mixing two records together".
I will continue to mix live with turntables. Ableton is just a new
tool added to the spectrum of DJ-ing and producing. In my opinion
there's not much difference between being a DJ or producer in 2005.
Ableton brings the two even closer together."
