I recently bought a Mac Book Pro. I upgraded to Albeton 8 and I’ve been spending some serious time in the studio. I’ve always DJed using either turntables or cd players. I’ve used CD players for the last two years along with Serato. I really enjoy Serato because it opened me up to play any and all genres. In fact, I don’t even think about genres any more, I can just mash songs together and see how they come out.
With my move to Ableton, I’m really just trying to push my boundaries and self imposed limitations. Live allows you to look sections of a track, skip parts all together and really dig into each and every track and make it your own. Re-Edits are super easy, pretty much every track because a re-edit. I can lay a 8 bar loop of an electro track on top of a deep house track and it becomes a whole new song.
