Dude that wasn't a joke, Like for example take me, I am going to buy Serato but I would pay someone lets say $100 or more to teach me exactly how to use it properly and find out all the functions instead of ing aorund with it.
Knowledge is worth money and since this is the future maybe you should start as everyone needs help with things like this.
Perfect example the Geek Squad, these people make millions going to peoples house and teahcing their clients what to do and such.
As far as matching beat s and mixing that needs to self taught pretty much but as far as learing a complex compture program and all the back end of it, that can taught. |

Here is the thing. Serato lets you access your digital music files (mp3,wav, etc.) |
But its been said that Vinyl would be giving the best quality because when you have tracks encoded into mp3/wav it sounds like crap compare to vinyl right???
btw very intersting thread |

Only if your source is analog then vinyl will sound best, if your source is digital, wav will sound as good if not better than vinyl.
320k mp3 sounds great as well :) |

I'll call you as soon as i buy it, should be next week and certainly kick you down for the time and lessons. In my eyes its better to be taught form someone that knows rather then get frustrated trying to figure out and having a kaniption fit. |

| Also someone told me this week end that Abelton beat matches for you so all you have do is really mix. Is this true as the source was pretty reliable? |

lol..."source"
Ableton is a sequencing program, IE, it will play any clip you have in time to anything else playing, providing that clip has been warped using markers that you set manually. The markers tell Ableton how to play the clip so that it will be matched up.
Baisically, its like mix meister, you line up the markers on the beats as precisely as possible, but once you have warped the track and set all the markers, it saves them...so baisically, you beat match once and then save it forever and never have to match it again.
It doesnt do anything for you at all. The auto-warp function is pretty much useless and is not suitable for warping long samples or whole tracks.
I see your point about teaching people, but in all honesty, I know how Ableton works to a certain extent, but I am no expert. I know how to mix with it, and how to do some advanced stuff of the same type that Sasha/Zabs other ableton DJ's are doing...but I'm not Richie Hawtin.
I'll be buying a controller soon which will give me a whole range of new capabilities in Ableton which I cant wait to start using.
You guys should read the ableton.com forums and the TA DJ Booth forum for more info on all these matters...in fact there is talk of making an Ableton sticky in the DJ forum for all the n00bs who keep asking the same questions every week :p |

Yup that what he said and he also said that if chosen that it automatically beat matches for you the second you srop the track in. I really dont care but simply are just telling you gusy what was told to me.
I would beilve it why not? |
