[p0iit312]

the two songs don't go together. clearly :P but good tutorial

[StealthMode90]

Awesome tut man thnx ! but is there anyway to link the cross fader to MIDI control? or is that not an option?

[djzee1972]

thank U !



[unitedsimplydabest]

COOL!!!

[MrBlond666]

omfg this video is just showing the basics of ableton. you people saying it sounds like shit are retarded he obviously wasn't trying to make "THE SICKEST TRANSITION EVAR!!!!" grow the fuck up.

[totalyruben]

how do you get the audio tracks into ableton i cant do it for the life of me and its doing my head in please help before i commit lol cheers buddy

[MrDJAsiago]

Outside of being Sea Sick from the moving camera...lol...Was really a good description bro. Mad Thanks.

Mr. D.J. Asiago

[tiffuhny]

are you using a midi controller or just your keyboard/mouse?

[skoolbags]

Thanx Max. I found it very useful.

Next step - take over the DJing world! :)

[cryingemo182]

ableton - producing tracks

traktor pro - live!

[SGammon1121]

If you're going to make a video on "DJing" and "Mixing" a least make a smooth transition. That sucked.

[gungorhaydar]

dude you really suck, go and see an ear doctor

[nullpointer242]

Hi guys! I am starting with Ableton, and I want to know how important is a Good Sound Card to do a Live Session (without any extern instruments / MIDI / pLUGINS) is Ableton?? Could I do a live session with my default Asus M51sound card? Shoud I buy an external sound card as MOTU or M-Audio - Fast Track Ultra????

Thanks a lot!

[culdesacjungle]

why is everyone being such an asshole?

all he was showing was how to mix two songs.

[shizzle160590]

hey can i use a behringer xenyx 802 for djing and cuing in live? thanks

[djs909]

What a load of bullshit comments. This guy is just showing how you can mix 2 tracks with Ableton live. That's what he's doing. He's not trying to teach you how to be a great DJ. So shut up.

[bobbyolson1]

im especially liking the trick of playing them bothat the same time, truly innovative hahah

[donniecatalano]

What a complete shite :-((((

[cadmiros]

crap!

[citygrovestl]

dont watch this - its terrible

[nicobendeck1]

hahahaha...do you want a tutorial you´re fuckin bad dj!! ROCK AND HOUSE DON´T GO TOGETHER!!!

[Tys0nFawlay]

maybe you need to mix rock and house. a good dj can do that without it sounding too odd :p

[Tys0nFawlay]

but this really, really sucked holy shit

[SunriseSunsetTrance]

BIG SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vjrodman]

Pourquoi mixer sur Ableton? il y a Virtual DJ pour cela. Ableton c pour composer je pense.

[rollandburn]

I don't think it's supposed to fit. The contrast helps make it easier to tell what sounds are coming from where for the purposes of education. As in, 'how to mix two songs together with Live"....I'm sure he wasn't trying to pick two songs that blend together so well you can't even tell, or have never heard before so wouldn't know anyway.

[09hasselberg]

Why did you choose to mix Van Halen and Erik Prydz?

House and Rock doesnt fit together at all.

[StarCraftAccount]

this sounds like shit. how dare you even call this "djing." if i could give you less than 1 star, i would.

[Ponnybit]

@StarCraftAccount actualy for newbs that have no ideia how djing is this tut is actualy good. so stfu and take ur hate elsewhere, btw.. do u use VYNIL AND JUST A CROSSFADER? IF NOPT UR NOT REEL DEEJeh!

troll

[Fireembler]

@StarCraftAccount fuck you, i wanted to write this comment :P

[TheStevieb94]

@StarCraftAccount becuase hes making a mix? if he was live it would be different, some people just make mixes to listen to, or like me, i make them when im bored

[mpc3po]

dope, i love how you use the 'Panama' in this tut. !

[AbletonTutorial]

People are at different stages in their understanding of Ableton.

Check out my video and follow the link if you want more advanced training.

[technologi72]

ez egy FOS!! :)

[Hungarian94]

ha ilyen fos neked mért nincs egy jobb?

[mrtechnologi]

Én nem számítógépen mixelek! És ki mondta, h nincs jobb? Tudod attól nem érzem magam menőnek, hogy ide töltök fel zenét a 15 éveseknek :D A másik : tanulj meg angolul és nézd meg a többi hozzászólást :P

[Hungarian94]

tudok angolul elolvastam öket

amugy én CD-ken tudok játszani .. mmint azzal szoktam csak nincs alkalmam rá tul sokszor :D

de most kezdem "tanulmányozni" az abletont, de tuti hogy nem arra fogom használni hogy mixeljek vele, arra a cd a jó.

[DudasMiska]

tényleg az, nem nagyon okos dolog egy house számot bekeverni egy rock számba föleg ha ekkora nagy külömbség van a tempok közt

[mode112]

dude this shit is terrible! 1star

[jonnyl94]

Clearly. I've done some myself.

However, as the title suggests: "Ableton Live Tutorial- Your First DJ Mix"

This is a BEGINNERS tutorial.

I also see you haven't chosen to watch the other video's made by this guy, explaining how to insert effects to your mix, and use it further.

I suggest you think next time before spewing some un-educated, offensive opinion on beginners simply wishing to learn the basics.

[bro4o]

haha. ok :))))

[bro4o]

i dont see a fuckin poin t of using ableton live if u re only mixing two tracks. it has so MANY other functions u can do whatever u think of with the tracks. this is so lame

[jonnyl94]

what else are you going to do with it live then? Nob.

[bro4o]

how about remixing the tracks in real time... using various vst's for effects or putting samples on and on... ever heard of filters retriggers flangers gate effect... oh wait.... ever heard of midi controller ?!?!?!

"Nob"

[bro4o]

haha. how about "remixing in real time"

read some literature stupid gay. there is not only play and stop buttons in front of you

[djnebulae]

so many ways to warp soo fucked up most vids on here hav dif preferences

[buzzydj]

Very Good Info, but I wonder how big name dj's like John Digweed or Paul Oakenfold are able to make tightly blended cd's without a single train wreck as oppose to what you hear live?

[DJKrissiB]

hmmmm......

ableton?

protools?

cdj in "take" form (eg mix track 2 into track 1... stop recording and have a cup of tea... go back later and play track 2 from HD, mix track 3 in....

everythin on a sep track in cubase/protools/logic etc so u can tweak the EQ/minor timestretches later

I HATE THIS WAY OF DOING IT yet it seems to be what everyone does now.... grrrr

what happened to tape packs of the raves?

[jakeboi]

umm time happened to that fred flintstone..

[DJRhinofart]

Practice, Practice, Practice and yet more.

[StreetSam510]

HOLY SHIT A TUTORIAL THAT'S EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND NOT PRETENTIOUS.

Thanks, Max. Great stuff, and I'll check the rest of your videos.

[cutters666]

Im with DJKrissiB on this its proving a point.

Good video lad

[DJKrissiB]

anyone moaning at the "dance to rock" mix should sod off

if u knew about music production u would KNOW that these 2 are NOT supposed to go, hence being an ideal example of how ableton BPM warps n holds 2 things, 1 with a straight beat, and one with a variable tempo because of a real drummer....

brilliant tutorial thank you, like the guy under me says - you simplify some very confusing shit - who gives a f*ck what tunes you use

BIG UP

[justin368]

Seriously

[danielrowntree]

Thanks dude, this is gold, it simplifies it so well. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

[timmahsmith]

worst music to ever mix for a tutorial

[kellroi]

this commentators dont know what mashups realy mean is. it means you can remix any kind of music trance to hiphop to rock to jazz etc.. you cannt say dont mashups rock to trance thats disgusting ear you have

[NismoZRS]

waste of time..

[BountyB0b]

wow - that was seriously shit.

[thelowryder]

you cannot mix rock with trance.. put a mix with another mix, then make a set or mashup or somethin :)

[mindingosafado]

cos there's a law that says "thou shalt not mix dance with rock", right?

WRONG YOU DOUCHE BAG

[DJKrissiB]

if that's aimed at me, then get ur technics out and mix a slipknot/sepultura/meshuggah/w­hoever track with any house track u so desire mate, i'd love to see the video ;)

[mindingosafado]

i actually have a vci-100 and i dont listen to slipknot/sepultura/meshuggah

but all im saying is dont limit youself to mixing only this with only that

and yeh ive actually mixed raining blood by slayer with we are your friends by justice

you just have to EQ it right

and i dont have a webcam -_-

[mryellow123]

"Rain in blood"

As for Meshuggah they go great over anything :-) Nice of them to keep all those fantastic polymeters in 4/4

[mryellow123]

"Reign in Blood"? bah whatever.

[Crazyman1227]

wow. lame

[lavrentijs]

Bigest shit what I ever see here in youtube EVER!

[milano1919]

ahahahahaha this mix is a total shit!!!

[afglbc7]

Hey, how do you pause the track your cueing, so it doesn't start to the beginning...really annoying isn't it?

[afglbc7]

I'm totally new to this, but how are you guys DJing with Ableton without some kind of external controller. Or, maybe I'm just slow? Can someone help suggest some type of controller or something that I can map too? Or, are you guys just using your mouse. That would be tricky though....hm..

[adn267]

sick mixing skills bro

[nenna69]

this isn't that bad... can see how to cross fade at least now

[al26chin]

That was very average, even for a beginers tutorial!

[junaidmumtaz]

was that a mix  no way dude

[rodrigus5]

worst tutorial ever, u suck!

[mikeygeeuk]

1973 is by James Blunt aswell

[camzdaman123]

my clips just randomly start looping, any help?

[Macdaddy1129]

click on the clip and near there is a loop button. from what you say, the loop button should be turned on and lit up. just click the loop button again and it should go off

[molo0087]

1983 is by paolo mojo not eric prydz its a eric prydz remix

[Jstyl3s]

I Love the Song 1983 by Eric Prydz. I found that you can fade 1983 in good with Royksopp- What Else is There?(Jacques Lu Cont Remix). It's pretty tight when you find the right spot to start mixing the tracks.

[ScotishStoner]

Ableton

[VagMan123]

how do you add effects

[philcartmell]

is he tone deaf!? lol

[dreize]

you should use the upfaders instead of the crossfader

[maxbaun]

remember guys, this is just a beginning tutorial. this is just an easy way for beginners to get their heads around a complex piece of software

[wodnerduck]

you generally shouldn't mix audio which is 20bpm different. you should use re-pitch instead of beats mode... this will not diminish sound quality as bad during warp

[whatafuckinghero]

Humm, I normally use the individual faders on the actual tracks when I use live. So then you can mix more than one track etc.

[YuraB]

what a waste of time. that sounded like shit, and would of never worked.

[slycklink]

Hey thanks for these vids once again man. Could you get a little more complex and show how to successfully mix more than 2 tracks? Kind of like how those Radio Shows like A State of Trance do? Thanks! Keep it up!

[maxbaun]

hopefully will do one tonight!
