hey riley & durrant any live show recorded? why dont load them on youtube

[RileyAndDurrantMusic]

@felipescalador Hi mate.. We thought about it, but you only get 10mins max for a video so not sure it'd be worth it..?

[Jordo54321]

ARG, I don't know if I should get an APC40 next so I can finally do some live stuff, or if I should buy an analog mixing board to improve my production quality.

If I buy an APC40 it's alot of money just to have only for the sole purpose of doing live stuff in ableton :|

But I guess I'd rather be stuck in the digital domain and have an interesting live show, than sitting next to a computer playing clips with a mouse and being incapable of fading in

Then again I could get a live mixixng boar

[RileyAndDurrantMusic]

@Jordo54321 Sounds like you've made up your mind already :)

[TerebiJoke]

does it come with the fog gun?

[Omrie69]

Your assigning the waveforms to the activator buttons never worked for me on my APC40 is there something i need to deactivate in my preferences?

Cheers guys nice vid 

[MisterMitten1]

Hey guys, I'm using the APC 40 along with the Launchpad. Was just wondering what soundcard you use live? Don't expect any secrets revealed or anything... Just wanting to look at new options for my own future live shows.

[DjDanshan]

meh, this aint DJing



[dizzy67]

As a house music fan, its exciting but disappointing at the same time - I already miss the old "artistry" of two 1210's and some jumpy vinyl

[bradapotamus]

what are the tracks that are played?

[LzI]

@RileyAndDurrantMusic its 10hours now :D

[vxJDvx]

Does anybody know if this will work without much lag with a pentium processor... it's all i'm stuck with right now :(

[SCIncident99]

R&D,

great video!!! been using my APC for a few months now, getting new ideas from videos and other programs on how to set up Live with the APC for DJing in front of an audience... I really dig how you set up the Pan/Send section on top of the super trigger and tempo cue, was wondering if you had your main channels assigned A/B for the crossfader... it would be awesome if you made another video about this without the sun interfering and maybe even a little more in depth... cheers!
