Matt Moldover explains his Ableton Live setup

[FYICREW]

@hilato Yes, Ableton is a good DAW, but Traktor isn't a DAW at all. It's DJ software that decodes control vinyl/CDs so you can use turntables or cdjs as controllers as well as being able to dj on it's own. Apples and oranges

[8messa]

douche' bag?

dude even professionals consider matt putzdover a douche bag.

[MegaNevermind]

I remeber this guy! He came to our school once, and did a demo session with ableton. Nice :)

[hilato]

out of all the DAW´s out there Ableton blows all of them in the market, even NI Tracktor.

[djtavi77]

why? elaborate in the reasons< I'm getting either or and can't really decide...

[ProofNZ]

Tracktor isnt a DAW though..

[hilato]

@ProofNZ your right I did a mistake sorry,

[unriselyrical]

its not a CS-80...why does he keep wiping his finger along the ReMOTE? :/

[FRGus723]

He's modified the keyboard. Those products are a Korg Kaoss Pad and a Kurzweil Expressionmate. In his setup it looks like they are "wired" into a Novation keyboard, but he just physically modified the sensor parts of those products, to put them in the middle of the keyboard and make everything ergonomic. They are both still functioning as separate MIDI controllers with their own electronics and power supplies. They are simply daisy-chained together with good 'ol MIDI cables.

[stupothead]

Its some kind of touch pad. Like a Kaos effects pad.

[darealshizzle]

how's this keyboard called?

[FRGus723]

Novation Remote 25 SL is the controller he is using. He has made mods to it though so it is not straight out of the box.

[riffrider08]

what are the two songs that you play during this demo?

[dermo65]

Question for ya ....I'm not an Ableton user, but I'm considering using it with my new band. Essentially I wanna know, if I use a multi-out soundcard can I have Ableton give me 2 track (stereo) out front, whilst running a click out to an auxilliary that only the band will hear on stage. Previously, I've used the old trick of running one side of the stereo mix out front and running the click on the other side, but it sucks, cos there's no separation. I want stereo with a click track!

[HORSEFORCEOFCOURSE]

@dermo65 yeah you can do that. if your soundcard has multiple outs, just go to the preferences and enable however many outs you want (mono or stereo)

[FRGus723]

The lyrics are from Take Your Mama by Scissor Sisters. The beat is probably something he just created in Ableton.

[FRGus723]

Sorry, didn't watch the full vid. The song that comes in at the end is Ring The Alarm by Tenor Saw

[canadianmaple09]

The guy in the back is a complete douche bag and keeps asking "What is this?" and then he pushes a button or turns a knob without asking, like he's 3 years old! Never let this guy into the cockpit of an airplane in flight!

[JeBuZac]

Hahaha

[diggersstory]

Sweet setup. How much would a setup cost like that?

[PHOG1]

i'm actually nursing a semi just looking at that. i need to get me a set up like that

[ky40507]

Wow, those two noobs are annoying as hell.

[puppetsnob]

It's a Kurzweil ribbon controller that he hacked onto it (the interface box for it is inside the Remote SL)

[phobik2000]

What's with the 'tarded messing up the whole explaining like a 5 yr old having fun...

[quartercherries]

that's what I'm wondering

[Rerun]

I see that the keyboard controller is a Remote SL, but what is the ribbon scratcher controller laying on top of the keyboard? Thanks
