Hi!
After being a DJ for a while (first with vinyl, then CDs, now with Traktor), I decided to finally have a go at producing, and, after looking around, I decided to use Ableton. So, I bought the Akai APC 40, because I like working with a controller, + it includes a Lite version of Ableton. Now, my idea is, not so much to use the Ableton library, although I intend to do it, but to use a Technics Sl-DZ1200 and a Technics-1210 MK2 as if they were instruments (maybe I should say samplers, because I intend to use them to sample sounds), coupled with a Pioneer DJM-400 ( I also have an Allen & Heath : 92, which obviously would be a better option, but will keep on using it just for the DJ set-up, since I have to install Ableton et al in another space, and it would be a pain to carry it across from DJ set-up to Ableton set-up; on the other hand, I plan to use the same Audio 8).
Now, my question is: how do I go about setting this up? Any help is welcome, particularly in a very, very, straightforward way (I'm not very competent when it comes to technical issues, to say the least).
I looked for topics in the forums, but didn't find straight answers to what I intend to do. Can anyone help, or, if I'm repeating (an)other user(s) in this forum, point me in the direction of the right topic?
(Maybe I should be asking if this set-up it makes sense, but the thing is, right now I can only work with what I have at hand, without further (or at least more expensive) investments.)
Thanks.
