Who the f*@# cares what they mix on. They have already proven them selfs on the decks. Beat matching on there level comes second nature, its the mixing and track selection that makes a set good. I'll put it this way, staying on your two turntables and two channel mixer are not going to get you anywere, its been done a million times over. And do you really think big DJs just rely on TT's when they make a CD...WRONG. Its all protools now. Why you might ask? Because the fans don't care about the music as much as they care about a perfect mix. And how can you call these guys losers when you can't even compair to these guys. Lame |

i was sarcastic for all the sasha whores that blasted paul for using FS if that WASNT obvious. I have no problems with it.
If you told me local dj's did that, thats another issue. |

Dear Reader,
This newsletter contains a special announcement about a major new
release by Ableton. Please make sure and visit www.ableton.com for the
full details.
ANNOUNCING LIVE 4
Today, Ableton proudly presents Live 4, Ableton’s most significant
release to date. Live 4 extends Live’s real-time music-making approach
to the complete range of today’s music-production techniques.
In Live 4, you will find a complete and inspiring approach to MIDI
sequencing, pattern recording, drag-and-drop sampling, virtual
instruments and MIDI hardware support. Ableton has also made
substantial extensions and enhancements to existing functionality,
including such features as swing/groove for audio and MIDI clips, a
powerful new channel-routing scheme, simplified recording, sample
reverse, and several exciting new creative options for the Session View.
In creating Live 4, we faced the challenge of adding our most requested
features, while keeping Live simple, solid and inspiring to use. The
new functionality simultaneously widens Live’s scope and strengthens the
qualities that make the program stand out. We would like to express our
deep gratitude to you, the Live users who urged us to make this happen,
and to make it happen in the right way.
New Live 4 Features include:
----------------------------
MIDI Tracks, Effects and Instruments.
MIDI sequencing in Live has been designed to get the user started within
seconds. Software instruments appear in Live's built-in Browser.
Dragging an instrument from the Browser into the mixer creates a MIDI
track containing that instrument, ready to play and record. MIDI
effects and audio effects can instantly be inserted into the same track
by dragging, with no need for menus or abstract routing concepts. The
signal flow within the track is intuitively set up by drag and drop.
The Track View provides instant access to all instrument and effects
controls.
Live 4 also includes the 'Simpler' sampling instrument, which allows for
instant sampling, polyphonic playback and creative exploration of any
sound dragged into its display. 'Impulse' is a polyphonic percussion
sampler with drag-and-drop sample import and powerful and innovative
sound-shaping controls. In addition, Live hosts any VST or Audio Units
(Mac OS X only) plug-in instruments. MIDI tracks with no software
instrument can deliver MIDI to external hardware synthesizers, ReWire
client programs or other MIDI tracks in Live. Live 4 also includes 5
MIDI effects. The ‘Scale' effect, for instance, forces incoming notes
onto a chosen musical scale and fits well with 'Random,' which creates
random deviations in note pitch.
MIDI Clips
MIDI clips are created by recording or by dragging in Standard MIDI
files from Live's Browser. Notes can be viewed, created and edited in
the Clip View's Note Editor. When Draw Mode is engaged, the Note Editor
behaves like a drum-pattern interface, where a pattern step is set or
cleared by a single click, and flams are created by dragging across
multiple steps. Unlike a static drum grid or step sequencer, Live's
flexible grid allows the user to change the step resolution at any time.
MIDI clips, like audio clips, have their own loop settings.
MIDI-controller movements are represented as clip envelopes, which can
be unlocked from the notes to create independent movements. The same
real-time options apply to MIDI clips as they do to audio clips: MIDI
clips can be launched at any time, with real-time quantization
preventing rhythmical error. MIDI clips can be assigned to computer
keys or MIDI-note ranges for jamming with musical phrases. MIDI clips
can also be exported from Live as Standard MIDI files.
MIDI Recording and Patterns
Patterns can be built up on the fly by overdubbing MIDI onto clips while
they play in a loop. In conjunction with the new 'Impulse'
percussion-sampling instrument, Live offers the options for spontaneous
creation that are normally associated with hardware groove boxes. You
can also One can also use the computer keyboard to play Impulse’s drum
samples and create grooves from the laptop alone. Standard linear MIDI
recording and overdubbing are available in the Arrangement View.
Flexible Routing
New monitoring, track routing and view navigation allow non-disruptive
track setup and recording. Any track can feed and tap other tracks for
submixes or layering, or be routed to eight auxiliary sends per Live Set.
Other new Features
Swing and Groove: Audio and MIDI clips support variable real-time swing
and individual groove parameters.
Automatic Jamming: Audio and MIDI clips can be set to produce customized
or even random sequences of loops or samples in Live’s Session View.
This is great for generating new ideas, making beats or preparing a DJ
performance.
Sample Reverse: A single button can reverse any audio clip in real time.
Session View scenes can change the project tempo.
Session View scenes can be set to advance automatically.
Audio performance has been optimized for Macintosh computers.

*points to all of his Tiësto CD cases which clearly read "Mixed live on turntables by DJ Tiësto"* (and awaits the flames)
And I know plenty of people who care about music just as much as a perfect mix.

They are comparable. Different styles doesn't mean that they still don't mix. |

That's the thing I'm worried about if CDs catch on too much... the industry may suffer from it. Sure, people download stuff as it is, but not as an alternative to buying the vinyl... if they want the tune on vinyl then they'll buy it, regardless of whether it's available for free as an mp3, since they're effectively paying for the medium to mix the tune with, rather than the music itself. It's what's keeping the dance music industry alive since it just isn't cost effective to have downloaded tunes pressed onto vinyl.
With CDJing however... that all changes. If vinyl went out of fashion and labels started releasing CDs... other than moral satisfaction, what would there be to encourage people to buy them as opposed to downloading them & burning them to CD? |

| man, that is ing gay, I think they should stick to the vinyl, I just don't like the CDs and Finalscratch, There is just something about spinning on vinyl, it's alive, it's hands on, it's coming directly from the record to the needle, I guess I just don't like change, but then again, who does |
