Hi Folks,
I'm an avid user of Live. I love the power that it offers. However as I'm sure you'll know, the DJ workflow and playlist control just doesn't exist.
At the moment I have a portable hard drive of all my music divided into folders for tracks and genres, loops etc. When I'm preparing for a set I will typically work my way through my collection and write up a playlist in a text file of the tracks that I think I might play.
On the night I'm typically flicking between Live and that list to work out what I might play next. Sometimes I'll load a bunch of tracks up and then decide at the last minute exactly which one will work best.
Does anyone have any really good methods - particularly for preparation?
As an aside, for those interested I'm working on a Macbook Pro Retina at home for prep and play out with an 11" Macbook Air with a Xone2D, Xone 62 and starting to integrate a Push.
