I thought it'd sound a lot more expanded and dynamic but I don't think you can really do that with trance, for how I've heard him mix, why not just use 2 CDJ's and a mixer? The sets really aren't that special...

when's the last time you saw him? me and nefardec saw him thursday at metropolis and he pushed the technology to the limit doing absolute amazing things, although he didnt have his other laptop with him i just assumed he quit using ssl but he brought it to play vanguard.

I heard some of his sets recentely, last time I saw him was in central park so i doubt he was using that then. But then again, I dont really follow up much on trance anymore.

That is a multi-port soundcard. There was a large thread over at http://scratchlive.net about his setup. I never really understood why he used SSL injunction with Ableton. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

To follow up: I think this is the thread about it.This is the thread about it. I will say, it is very large, but interesting to read.

I wonder what he's using Traktor on the left laptop for


btw. I wouldn't care what he uses, if his sets wouldn't decrease in quality constantly. Seriously, I noticed that his sets became worse the more technics he used

I wonder if he just uses a different software setup on different nights. Just whatever he feels like.

When I saw him in September here in SF, he had Ableton Live running on both his laptops with the Xone 3D.

He was real good, but felt he used a lot of effects to cover upsome subpar transitions.

Hehe, nice setup anyway, also from aesthetic point of view, which is not so important, but nice to see.

It's great to have 2 laptops, just in case you have a crash. It's easy to use all that gear, have you ever seen a Rick Wakeman or Emeson, Lake and Palmer gig? The keyboards are everywhere! He obviously has found a way of working that allows him to express himself well, which isn't easy regarding the lack of perfect controllers for Ableton.
