I always play my mixes live. I tried once to make the same thing in ableton but honestly it took longer time than to do it in traktor and at the end it didnt feel right so I skipped it.
It was my first longer (1 hour) set ever so I told myself it’s more safe to that way than the live way.
Honestly I rather re-start a recording if I fail big time than make the whole set in ableton.
Nowadays if/when I make a bigger mistake during recording I pause for a sec and do it again and later I can delete the unwanted places in ableton.
If it’s minor things like sudden volume thing or something like that, I let them go…after all, it’s live.

In the beginning I could use 6-7 cue points. When I bought my S2 I forced myself to use only max 4!
So nowdays I use the following setup for cue points:
#1 where I want the track to start from (doesnt need to be the very beginning of the track)
#2 is somewhere in the midle (can be in a spot there I can jump in case I’m out of time and want to speed up to the end)
#3 spot there I want to jump to get to the end or the place there I start mix out the song
#4 is always a simple loop
#5-#8 sometimes I use as a marker only. Like if I want to mark in the track a place there vocal starts or bring attention to a good spot and so on.

I agree. 15-30 mins is more suitable if you want ppl to actually listen to more than 1-2 mixes.

Big grats, man!

Basically, this means on the “B2B Sundays” we can all DJ on our own accounts and still be under the ‘B2B’ brand if you would. This would be a great way to get our own Mixify pages off the ground while still making the B2B name known. Let me know if this is an idea you’d be interested in, so I can relay it back to him and he can set it up.

Also, any ideas you guys have for the site, hit me up and I’ll let him know too, they really do appreciate all feedback they get and try to fit the site around everyone’s liking.

So we gonna go after this or still post as last week?

Very good shows today! Lets hope we can repeat it next sunday and maybe more will join us!

After 25 years in the wonderful world of the computers few weeks ago I’ve got a Macbookpro.
Honestly bigger anti-apple person than me is hard to find but when I decided that I’m gonna move away from my desktop and make a dj stand and everything, I said “why not go on a huge trip at the same time?”.
25 years with DOS and Win…..25 years as computer programmer and tech……I am ashamed to say but hell I needed to google how the ***** find programs I’ve installed on this mac. It wasnt fun to be next to me for a few days cause I had a bad temper. 🙂
1 thing for sure: I can make things on this laptop that I cant on my desktop. Having my session broadcasted through camtwist to webpage, at the same time broadcasting the audio to a web radio and having 3 other programs open to send the metadata to twitter and the shoutcast server, recording the video in quicktime and recording the audio in traktor……and the cpu meter in traktor not even moves a milimeter (for US ppl…..milimeter is very-very little). My dekstop would have gone on strike since long time ago.
I still hate apple but I’m getting used to this laptop at least.
PS: if you switch to mac…dont be scared when things you take granted in windows actually cannot be done on mac without installing a program for it!
Ah and my Microsoft Lifecam works better with mac than a mac certified web cam….wonderful world of logic…isnt it? 🙂
