| Stanley Topoleski 23.04.2011 | just get a midi controller. 49 keys or more for production, eventually you will figure out what you use most and you will end up getting a mixer that works. i know i plan on building an arduino controller in the future with loads of knobs... don't have 4k for a xone 4d and want something smaller... i started with cheap edirol speakers and a cme uf-5 midi controller. i gotta say had the controller 6 years and they are still the best i have ever used. before that it was just random programs that made sound. one thing to note is when you crop audio/record audio files in live the files do get converted to wav and go into your project folder. personally i don't crop files when djing, but i do/can record vinyls and other instruments. just make sure you have all your files on you |

| Lena Schirado 23.04.2011 | Ok thanks. Because coming from Traktor, I was annoyed that I had to batch convert all my Mp3's into WAVs just for Ableton lol. I'm glad I don't have to now. 7 Years? Your hard work is finally paying off. I'm getting into producing and djing on ableton live right now. Any advice for a newbie? |
| Stanley Topoleski 23.04.2011 | no... all of my tracks are in 320kb mp3. i keep the .asd files in the same folder as the songs this way all i have to do is drop the song and its ready to go. i just loop different sections to launch. seems fine, but then again i am using a quad core laptop and thanks it only took me 7 years |
| Lena Schirado 22.04.2011 | Congrats on the track making it to Beatport! Btw I'm getting into Ableton DJing and I was wondering if it's a "Must" to convert Mp3's into WAV files? I read somewhere mp3's cause problems when used with Live because live needs to convert the audio. Has that been fixed or is it still like that? |
