Ok, here goes. I'm going to be using Ableton Sutie 8 for producing and live DJing. I intend to use a couple of pieces of hardware with it. Since I've only just began to delve into the World of Ableton, I'm not yet too familiar with it's settings etc.
I'm basically looking for guidance on how to set up the below:
* Dell laptop with Ableton Suite 8 runnin (it only has 4 USB ports, which may be an issue)
* Audio2DJ Sound Card (Channel A for live mix and B for headphones cue)
* Vestax VCI-100
* Novation Launchpad
* External Hard Drive
My issue is that I don't know how to configure the setup. Also have a question on USB hubs. Are they recommended or not? Only asking as I was intending to hook up all these via USB:
* VCI-100
* Launchpad
* External Hard Drive
* Audio2DJ
* Wireless Keyboard/Moure receiver
However, I only have 4 USB ports on the laptop. I'm thinking I could sacrifice the wireless mouse and keyboard if I had to, but really hate having to use the laptops touchpad for live DJing.
Some tips on how to custom MIDI map hardware in Ableton would be good too. The manual is far too large to print out at 550+ pages!!!!!
