I am just wondering what everyone does to get songs ready for performance in Ableton. I just recently got the software and really want to try and get into more interesting forms of DJing than i have done in the past (tradition 2 TTs and serato type stuff). So i've got a launch pad and have 8 sub-tracks broken up into two main outputs that i have going through a traditional DJ mixer. I really dig the set up but I don't know exactly how to begin arranging my set.
When I DJ, i don't like to follow a set list or have predetermined transitions or places where i start to mix. I like to do it on the fly and at random. What is the best way to begin structuring a set for that sort of performance. The end result I would be going for is a deadmau5-esque sort of performance (more of his early sets, before he had the huge ass cube and thousands upons thousands of dollars in moogs and hardware on the stage). Not sure how else to describe it because he is the only one i've really seen use a setup like this. (maybe a watered down daft punk set up is good too?)
Anyway, any sort of tips on how YOU (personally) structure a live set in ableton would be good! (focusing mainly on the actual setup of each track)
