New project/concept for those who produce and perform using Ableton I was talking to a friend today and he said he was believeing about getting into DJing with Ableton. Now let me say he's been DJing with Traktor for awhile now and is doing some good stuff with it and I mentioned how DJing with Ableton would feel very cumbersome, UNLESS you you get into micro DJing ala Speedy J and Chris Liebing. Instead of mixing track A into track B, you are mixing the individual parts of the tracks and creating a whole different experience. The problem with this he said is there isn't very much material out there to do this with. But I countered with, "How many unfinished projects/loops do you have laying around?". Just believe about it though, all those unfinished projects/loops are potential tracks to use when playing out. No need to do an arrangement as you'll be doing it on the fly. Now, this is where it gets interesting. Based on where you are in a lineup, or how you are feeling the crowd, you can take that jacking house loop lets say, and only play the bare bone parts and dub it out into something for earlier in the evening. And the opposite is true as well, you can take a deep house track, add a few more parts, swap out that warm sine wave bassline for something a bit more aggressive and you now have something for later in the evening when the party is going proper. Now this is where you guys come in. Would all you producers out there be interested in swapping your loops with each other so we all can have more material to source from? Include the raw audio loops as well as the midi note loops for people to build on and create something familiar but original to how they perform? | |
