ableton live djs

[g]

but im really pissed off about warping tracks, its pretty time consuming..

if you use AutoWarp to let ableton find the origianl bpm then manually adjust the 1.1.1 marker and then "warp from here".. it takes not very long at all.

besides - pissed? what did you want, an automatic dj machine?

er.. i ought to say mixing machine. having ten thousand perfectly warped tracks does not a dj make. not by a longshot.

i know it takes maybe 2 mins to get a track warped, but, i have like 50 gb of mp3s.... theres no way im going through warping each one before i play a show

[g]

....because you're going to play them all??

sure you can bring/prepare more than the equivalent of ~150 records, but unless you're being booked for really REALLY long gigs i doubt you need to prepare 50gb worth.

true. well im done my exams tomorrow. this weekend... im warping tracks woohoo

[jspr]

a dj has to mix the tracks, not the computer

I play a lot of cds and it usually takes me 2 or more minutes to burn the tracks into a cd.. so you shouldnt be pissed about warp marking...

you burn 1 track per cd?

id much prefer to do the final scratch route. Ive used ableton to dj, its ok..and a little too easy. But recently ive been buying a whole lot more mp3s off of beatport which has a much bigger selection of minimal stuff than my local record store.
