I'd never known what Ableton does so I just looked it up. F***ing hell do I want a go on that. It sounds ideal for general re-editing too - which I've previously being trying, without any success, to do in Logic (I'm on a Mac).
That's what I want for my birthday. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brendan Nelson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mann, Ravinder [CCS]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 3:22 PM Subject: RE: (313) 3rd wave djing > -----Original Message----- > From: Mann, Ravinder [CCS] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 13 June 2003 14:59 > > Fantastic...if this is 3rd wave djing then bring it on. > > Can anyone give me a couple of sentances on how this is done > and what equipment is needed ? Definitely - I'd love to see more people getting into doing this sort of stuff! Basically you are alright with a copy of Ableton - you can control it adequately with a mouse and keyboard, and once you've got your tracks together and ready to mix, you're away! But to *really* step into the world of 3rd wave DJing, the best thing to do is get hold of a MIDI controller keyboard which has lots of knobs and sliders on it - map the sliders and knobs and keys to various Ableton controls (mutes, volume levels, effects sends) and before long you'll start to feel nearly as physically connected to the set you're playing as you do with traditional decks and vinyl.
