Live mixing (Paul Kalkbrenner style)

[Rkid_Dan]

I've been contemplating trying this out for some time now and i've decided to go ahead with it.

But i really do not know where to start. I have ableton and know my way around it pretty well from producing, I also own an Evolution uc-33e.

I feel like i'm going to need help with a mapping of some sort ? And going to need something for launching clips ?

Can anyone please spare a minute and shed some light on this for me ?

To answer the question why i'm doing this, I feel it would help my production immensely and i'll also enjoy it thoroughly.

Look Up Tom Cosm's Megaset on youtube. he has an awesome template for you start off with and play with

Thanks for the quick reply man. Will check it out. Hope it's what i'm looking for. Any knowledge on what might be good to use for clip launching ?

[DJBambii]

Anything that has a matrix really. Launchpad, and the APCs are good ones to start with I think. or a monome

I think an Ipad does a better job as a clip launcher, all the benefits from the previously mentioned plus color + name feedback on the grid.

Gaiser's set is a perfect example on how to keep things simple without losing versatility.

I was going to ask a similar question after I had watched his documentary. Cann you tell me which programm he's using?

Personally i'm not too keen on touchscreens like to have something a bit more physical.

I downloaded those last night, I'm going to get into them over the weekend.

Paul uses ableton.

Think i'm going to get a Launchpad & Behringer Bcr2000. The BCR2000 for FX.

Looks like Ableton or pro tools ( I think )

He uses ableton, There's a video on the ableton website (a short interview) of him talking about how he uses it in Berlin calling and for all his live shows.
