Dancetracks Digital and Ableton are proud to offer Live-Ready tracks for digital download. Live-Ready tracks have been pre-analyzed for use with Ableton's award winning Live software. All sample settings have been pre-adjusted, and tempo information and warp markers have been added, so you can start playing them right away, all in perfect sync.
Live-ready tunes
god now we have to be weary of the tool who gets a copy of ableton, downloads these tracks, works out the crossafder in live and starts to call himself a DJ
I personally think this is wrong.... really wrong
next there will be a website you tell them what tracks you want mixed they will do the mix and send you an .als file
you load it up and stand there waving to the crowd liek a tool - "look at me I am a DJ"
i get sad when i think about the new generation of DJ's coming thru

i get sad when i think about the new generation of DJ's coming thru^^ just wanted to add i was aware this was coming - so no great shock... but I just still cant get past using ableton soley to DJ with...
as an add on (sampler) - yes, or for live use of your own music - yes
but standing there using a program that beat matches for you makes me cringe.
sorry i know i go on and on about this - I will stop now....promise

sweet, then we wont even have to worry about DJs. Request your fav tracks upon entry to the club, club owners/promoters have their input. Even get shit sent in direct from Record companies, certain genres etc. Add some smart randomness to the mix, Bohyah.LuKo wrote:next there will be a website you tell them what tracks you want mixed they will do the mix and send you an .als file
Have a screen that tells you what track is playing, people take note for next time to request it.
sick
LOL!! @ fliipo
funny thing is most of the commercial population would embrace this
they'd love it even more if it showed the next tune about to come on, so they could run off and get their friends in time
never ceases to amaze when someone does that, they request a track then if you say yes its like:
"OMG OMG OMG, can you just wait till i go get all my friends so we can dance to it, hold on I'll be righjt back"
the nights I am feeling like a c*nt its extra funny to drop it before they get to their friends and then watch them scramble, nearly falling over people knocking drinks...just generally being the arse of the club

true mate, but just like cdj's and serato / final scratch before it
'eventually' it will become accepted, ie the new skool promoters as the generations go thru, people will hold onto the old skool ethos less and less
well i hope not
personally i felt like cdj's and serato where on par with the concept, however I feel ableton as a sole DJ tool , and selling warp ready tracks is a step in the wrong direction.
just my opinion tho
.... fark me , maybe I am old skool

hehe yup! i do the draw the line where it needs to be drawn tho
really only 1 out of my 3 regulars I get to play what I want
Flippo: sorry mate thought you were taking the piss along with me
I think there were would be alot of outta work DJ's, etc... I know a couple of people who DJ for a living....the lazy bastards...it would affect them
maybe not for clubs, but maybe the local pub, it'd be nice to go to the local, eneter a few track names into a screen, and sit back and listen to your tunes and enjoy a beer and a chat with a mate, hmm they already have jukeboxes tho... the tracks are too old, they should bring out new age jukeboxes that have internet connections, you pay then you can surf for your track always being able to get the one your after - that'd be cool

I don't really see a problem with them doing this at all. The thing with DJing is that you can do a hell of a lot of offline preparation to make your life while DJing live easier, eg. knowing BPM + key of all your tracks, having them organised efficiently, even writing down the pitch % you need to set the turntables at etc, and that'll probably get you through a few gigs, but much like everything else in life, what separates the men from the boys is being able to handle when things don't exactly go as planned (ie different equipment, reacting to the crowd, technical troubles, misplacing a record etc).
