Reply to What is the simplest way to deejay with the APC40?

That is my question. I have an APC40 with the Ableton Live that came with it, as well as Traktor 2.5 and the Collision mapping. Honestly, I'm in way over my head. I know this community is on the cutting edge of digital deejaying and controllerism, but it's a completely new world to me. So while most on here are probably concerned with pushing new boundaries, I basically want to mix tracks the way it used to be done with two turntables and a mixer, and then slowly take it from there. Baby steps. There could be an inherent flaw in the question, I suppose...maybe there isn't a "simple" way to deejay with a MIDI controller with ten faders, seventeen knobs, and eighty-plus buttons! What do you believe?
