sure loops, but man its going take ages to build... latest problem [and I'm still fazed by the lack of options] is finding nice pushbuttons. Clear versions in perspex or silicon that can have custom graphics/legends. With the cheapest [so far] being £7 then times that by 64 its insane money. Have st...

@AdamJay interesting, but I think I disagree in some areas... In the context of using just Live, there should be no risk involved in beatmatching ie all the warp markers sort this out. I guess that for most skilled DJ's there should be no risk involed in beatmatching, performing, its like riding a b...

my pennies worth... faderfox [the best so far, but very small] grex [overpriced] x-session [upside-down] bitstream [dunno, not in producion yet?] or build ya own http://www.ucapps.de/ for me the way to go, but it not going to be quick... But at least I can build a trackball mouse into the unit... Ju...

I use doteasy for websites, £40 domain reg and hosting for 2 years [no adverts, not too slow]. I also use the LAME encoder for mp3, its a free open source encoder that a lot of people reckon is the best because it is tweaked all the time by coders... There should be an option for Lame in itunes. The...

yeah I'm on the frontplate bit aswell, think I'm going to protoype in thick 2mm card [used on hardback books] then when I'm happy get a plate order...

@robin & Chris Cowie Yeah, that visual is a bit out of date now.... It was not meant to have any audio, just MIDI, but be less that say £250? I have ordered the components to do the www.ucapps.de thang...[gulp] But I still reckon one of the most important things [for me] is to get that mouse/tra...

@MarkH you gotta take a look at www.ucapps.de, its daunting at first but you can't beat your own custom controller. :) You can start to add controls with unique functions, in unique positions that could change the way you perform.... As to people looking for a mini controller, sod it, I want mine to...

Saddam whosayin? forgot, did this a while ago [may have seen it already?]

@saddam whosayin? Interesting, I will have to take some time looking at the [PC] VST options. Thanks :) Looping like CD deck is a good starting point, but I dont know if they are able to change the parameters in realtime [like the example shifts from 1beat, 2beat, half a bar and bar loop while also ...

There is a german made kit, "Disco something" costs about £50. Basically it is a tall plastic tub that you fill with a special mixture of isopropyl alcohol. You then attach the record on a spindle, dunk it in and rotate. There are wipers that clean the record and the base acts as a drying ...

I've given up searching for a controller that suits my needs... So I've just ordered the parts to build my own, gulp.... A lot to learn, but it seems straight forward, so far... The more I think about it, the more I think bespoke is the way to go... My pennies worth: X-sessions - crossfader in total...

@Chris J The only way I could make it obvious [to some] is with a video clip! Then they might see that its just one audio file, manipulated at anytime, not a whole pre-planned stack of clips... :) I dunno mate, all I remember is booting up Live 3 and seeing this program graphic "Live - instrume...

Hi saddam whosaying? This I believe is what me and Chris J are getting at: http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11742 have a listen, remember the realtime way it was [badly] performed, and it does not include any crossfade tricks, which could really start getting crazy.... I have not found a...

Since this loop thing keeps coming up I've bashed out a [very] quick demo that shows the power of being able to control looping functions in realtime. See what ya think...? IMPORTANT: -THIS IS IN REALTIME, NO PLANNING, TOTALLY ON THE FLY -IT CAN BE PERFORMED AT ANYTIME [can't stress this point enoug...

I get where you're coming from saddam whosayin? And it would let you extend sections of a song on the fly. But it goes back to Chris J's point of "pre-planned" and "un-live". It also make jumping around a very tricky/head spinning process... :) I've done a very quick example in a...
