It doesnt do anything other than sync bpm up.

That is it. Everything else takes brainwork and work itself.

If you're thinking of doing that, then just load up a ableton set thats been recorded already and just press play and pretend you're mixing.

i hate these threads...

honestly when you think about it since all the warping is done by you, the DJ then ableton isn't doing anything before you (as you've done all the beatmatching beforehand)...thats how i like to look at it.

If you use Ableton like a total tool, then yeah it sucks. But you can use it to do some really different stuff on the fly that you simply can't do with vinyl or CDJ's. Try breaking a track into several segments that you can loop, layer, build-up, and break-down on the fly. Hell, if you're feeling a little adventureous, you could even try throw in an acapella or DJ Tool-type file and do some cool looping with that. If you do it right, you can end up with a super dubby, really original-sounding set no one would ever be albe to replicate. Welcome to the world of real-time remixing.

To try this out, I'd recommend downloading (legally, of course) Robbie Rivera - Float Away (Dub Mix). That's a pretty easy track to re-edit on the fly. Break that into a ton of loops and see how easy it is create a quality re-edit. Throw on some delay effencts to f*ck with the beats some.
