if you are using ableton to dj other peoples music, it means you arent djing.
if you are using ableton and you have the parts to songs, ie your own, it means you are remixing live on the fly, making new tracks.
obviously some people are using it as a hybrid, part live, part dj.
the advantage ableton gives you, is that it beatmatches all audio for you so that you can spend your time layering and looping things.
so if you are talking about a dj set. it is making the songs the same speed, meaning if someone is doing a ableton dj set, the songs are already more or less pre decided, and they are pre beatmatched taking both mixing, and programming out of the equation.
leaving . . .i guess. . . equing? |
wrong, well partly. i'm not going to argue about the definition of djing.
all i'm going to say is that if you just put all your tracks on ableton and hit sync it will NOT sync them to the beat, because as everyone knows bpm keeps changing throughout the track, that's why even if you have two tracks at 128 bpm synced on two cdjs, the beats will go off.
you actually have to go through each and every track and mark the beats, so that when ableton does sync them it keeps doing it as the bpm changes. if you do not mark your beats it will base the syncing off of the bpm at the start of the track.

actually your wrong. about 98.8% of tracks produced today are the same exact beat the entire way through. the reason you have to adjust the markers is because its virtually impossible to put them in the perfect place, so eventually it will be behind or in front of the beat.
everyone doesn't know that bpm's change throughout a track because this isn't 1994 anymore. people mostly use software programs, the only reason a track would have a varying bpm is if it was on purpose, which almost is never done, or it was done on old hardware.
so .. you really have no idea what your talking about. sorry.
