I know live very well and it is incredible. the best way to do it is with a midi controller and at least a 2 stereo channel output sound card. they way i have mine setup, you can have unlimited cues, 3 or 4 eq, tons of effects. if you do everything with a midi controller, "everything!" you do with live can be recorded and re edited later. they key to using live is setting the warp markers correctly. if anybody has any questions on this stuff just ask. i made a sample mix for somone else on this forum from songs he sent me to show him how to do it all. if you want me to do the same, send me an email to :
[email protected]
send me a few files you want mixed together in separate emails of 10mb or less. I will make a live set, save it, and email you the saved live set file. then you can look at what i did, and you should be able to figure it all out. |

going back to the Nuo-5 for just 1 more post. i was mistaken in my earler post. what i was thinking of had NOTHING to do with ableton live. the ecler FX unit can only be programmed thru the USB interface and i think i remember someone telling me that the software for doing so is PC only. im not totally sure on this, but i thought i remembered reading it somewhere.
the midi clock is obviously compatable with any midi device as midi is universal between all programs on all platforms and all hardware.
so like i said, i apologize for the misinformation about the nuo-5 and ableton. and like i said, i was was confused.
so to repeat my post correctly:
yes both the xone :92 and nuo will work with ableton. |

yep, thats exactly what i saw G&D using when i saw them in Jacksonville a few months ago. but i think they had a different M-audio box, a newer one.
now here is my question... So Josh Gabriel was on the computer all night, and Dave Dresden was playing with the Pioneer DJM-600 in the club. he wasnt mixing in records just workin the mixer like he was mixing the feed from Gabriel. well ableton (to my knowlege) doesnt put out 2 sequences at once. so what the was Dave doin on the mixer? was he just trying to look like hes doing something? |

i think dave was playing with the eqs, but how can they monitor what they are gonna mix into? :O
i will prob. meet them again soon....and i will ask them |

| That pic shows alot more equipment than just Ableton Live. They were probably sending the other equipment to the the mixer in addition to Ableton. |

| most songs consist of many channels not just 1. much more than you can control on a typical DJ mixer. we are talking upwards of 50 in many cases. the song is essentially resequenced, live in ableton. does the DJM600 have midi connectivity? if it does its probably being used as a controller to manipulate the sends and/or various key effects. or some of the rotaries and faders are mapped onto synth parts such as filter cutoffs, FM amount, LFO triggers etc. not sure if thats possible on this mixer but it is with any bog standard midi controller. |

| Why would you want to sell your decks? DJing is alot different from producing and learning how to do a Live PA set. |

| Well you have to pick if you want to be a DJ or a producer. I'd check out some demo versions of some popular production software to see if you like that more than spinning records. |

this is the way ableton works....g and d do it this way
ableton live with lets say 4 separate outputs all playing different tracks. output from the maudio 410 to each of the channels on the djm 600. While josh is doing the work on the computer, dave is mixing, blending, eq'ing the songs. dave is doing exactly what a normal dj would with the djm but instead of the input sources being from turntables, it is from live. I know live very well, so if you have any questions...just ask. live is not just for sequencing etc... you can play songs just like you would on turntables, cdj's etc... |
