Reply to My idea for Trakor-Maschine-Ableton

Hi guys,

I have been believeing for sometime now that i want to add some extra sparkle to my DJ sets rather than just playing one track after another with a few FX.

I have been experimenting with running 2 track decks in traktor then with Decks C&D switch them to Live Input and have C running Ableton's output and D doing Maschine.

Why do I want to use Live?

Well I have loads of sample packs etc with some cool loops but running short loops in traktor like a Top loop setc seems to cause issues with the beatgridding. This is where Live comes in to play as I know how to warp stuff and I know it will be tight. I also like the idea of using the FX and Plugs in Live for some extra FX that Traktor does not have like the Ping Pong Delay.

The Remix decks dont really tickle my fancy and I have the K2 controller as I dont like the F1 which at the moment seems to be the best way to use the Remix Decks.

An iPad running TouchAble will be my controller of choice for Live as this enables me to see what happening on Screen with out needing to flick between Traktor and Live.

Why Mashine?

I have it so why not LOL.

What are your thought on my idea above? Sometimes I get an idea in my head and dont realyl believe about before purchasnig stuff.

Do any of you do similar?

Thoughts on a postcard please
