Since my last post did came trough, i want to give this one another try: A bit of a late reply, but I finally re-found the link I wanted to post. This: http://www.idiom.com/~zilla/Work/VisualIDs/visualids.html is what you (Emiliano Zani) want. Too bad there is no software available that can do this!

Bit late here but I don't get a chance to listen 313 mixes very often but always stick 'em into a folder for later listening - this is brilliant Adam - expect a few more hits soon cos I've told a few people about it -Original Message- From: Adam Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 July 2006 01:56 To: 313 List Subject: (313) Ableton DJ Mix Hey list, how's it goin? So I put together my first all digital dj mix in Ableton. It turned out pretty well, although I found it to be a different experience than spontaneously mixing vinyl for a couple of hours. The main difference being that it took forever, at least compared to knocking out an hour dj mix with turntables/mixer/records.

Re: (313) Ableton DJ Mix +
Ableton kicks ' booty . I love my decks .. but until I get FS up and running . how else am I going to mix my downloaded net label tracks .. I do appreciate being able to build clean mix sets though .. since my penchant to be superbly lazy on the 1200's killed my Dj career. However I do like being able to reproduce (to precise accuracy), strange wild pitch mixes or beat drops that I have only manged to pull off under extreme liquid conditions. It's often to difficult reproducing the desired physical conditions that allow me to mix like a deep sea captain, so for reasons like this I love Live. I agree with the to much noddle potential .. hours spent adjusting the adjustments but ' with a bit of discipline I think Live is a pretty radical DJ tool .. can't wait to have a burble on Ver'6 and some Quicktime action .. but thats just another layer of content to collect .. blurg ,. Anyway . I've been pod casting some of my mixes at www.psurkit.net look out for Speakeasy : I know everyone loves their vinyl, but for those out side the shipping range of FedEx net labels are a wonderful thing. I'm finding lots of the right stuff ' even stuff with some clean 313 connections. Drop tracks not bombs ' .simon --- www.obscure.co.nz www.psurkit.net -- m. +64 275 606012

Re: (313) Ableton DJ Mix
A different experience than spontaneously mixing vinyl for a couple of hours. The main difference being that it took forever,... Yeah right: same for me... Ableton gives me so much (too much?) opportunity that everytime I start mixing with it, I found something new I could do, so I stop mixing and start sampling, ecc ecc... After 3 hours, I haven't mix anything so I say to myself: this would be useful for the next mix... The problem's that the mix never comes :-/ Probably I'm still in a baby-staring-at-candies mood: I want to eat the whole thang... Hopefully, I'll grow and make some choices about what I *really* like to do with Live.

Hi Adam, how's it goin? So I put together my first all digital dj mix in Ableton.

Perhaps I will experience more of that down the road after I get a little faster with Ableton. I've switched to using Live for mixing now. All the mixes I do though I do live and spontaneously like I do with vinyl. It's tempting to do it the editted way but it's about that moment thing with mixing for me (and with vinyl). I do waver from thinking Ableton Live's the only way to mix to wanting to use turntables again. http://www.abrooklynlife.com/2006/07/ablradio_libert.html#more The entire tracklist is on the page above with link to download mp3 or subscribe to the weekly podcast (although not every week is Detroit related).

Hopefully, I'll grow and make some choices about what I *really* like to do with Live. That hasn't gone away yet after using Live for 18 months. Though it sometimes does briefly to get properly stuck into mixing. It's rediculously easy to get into just doing little things for ours though and not get into that mix you want to do :) I find that having my controller setup and everything next to my turntables and using it all the time really helps too (not that I have that at the moment due to a broken audio mixer). I know it's really old-fashion, but I still have problems not using records... cds and file names looks exactly all the same, without covers or colors or anything that helps me, and I'm still desperatly trying to organize the in categories, bpms, ecc... But when I look at them, they don't tell me anything. I think I have enough organisation done to work out where everything is but I don't know anyone who uses the software that doesn't think like the above, myself included :) robin...
