Well as much as I like learning new tricks I feel kinda sad about using ableton.
The things that could be improved would be the warping big time
It's sad to see that Traktor can beatgrid a song like 10x better than ableton and then the keylock doesn't destroy the sound like Ableton.
I got warping down but when listening through my monitor headphones the track sounds like it's all fuzzy no matter what till I set the master tempo to the same bpm as the track that is playing.
I have tried all the different options for warping but they all sound like garbage imho.
The effects..... jesus fucking christ do I really even need to say? THEY BLOW, sure you have like a ton and a half effects but most sound like garbage and leave you needing an external effects processor and controling the ones in ableton with my apc40 isnt easy.
EQ options... found one usermade that worked far better than the built in ones and also has a fucking epic effect in it that Traktor needs.
Organization.... I miss seeing all the info laid out in front of me to see such as keys, bpm, artist names, labels, cover art, ect. Those made it easy for me to quickly choose a track.
Fun.... not there for me since I feel it's too much prep work and not doing all the stuff live like I do, sure you can do the same in ableton but the whole quantize bit seems a bit wack and needing to trigger stuff before it happens just to land it on the beat you want.
I sat there mixing a few songs together and felt like I was kinda just tapping "Next" on a mp3 player.
I feel that ableton could get some aspects right with a little more effort for fixing a few things such as the warping and sound preservation, and could potentially blow everything else away.
Maybe it's just me and not liking ableton too much... but now that I think about it.... how is ableton more interesting to look at than Traktor
How am I not a REAL dj using sync in a dj software and yet a dj if I use studio software THAT DOES THE SAME THING ABOUT SYNC herpherpherp.
starting to hate these haters that use cdjs ONLY
