A friend and I are just sussing out how performing live together might work. My first thoughts are one guy on Traktor playing tracks on four decks with really basic effects, and the other guy on a big array of knobs for various effects in Ableton Live.

I'm not sure how well this would work live, but in the few times we have performed together, that's what ended up happening naturally. The benefit of this was being able to bounce off each other and enjoy it more, but we can't work out any system or way of communicating about timings etc.

Does anybody else DJ live with someone else? How does your setup work? Do you have any tips on how to do it well? This may have been covered in other posts but nothing I could find had quite what I was looking for.
