Calling All the Midi Mappers Magician out there!
Hi all,
I am about to developing an ableton live set that will allow me to remix and create new improvisations/tunes on the fly using an apc20 and possibly (will see how it goes) a ddm4000 with great flexibility which I havent seen around yet (no need to look up the screen, up to 500 tunes could be played with no issues or limitation).
Now,
I am kind of a geek and would like to have some more in depth flexibility on my set so i don’t have to switch to another system or completely upgrade it in the future, I want something that will allow me to do anything possible and i am nearly there.
Right now, I am kind of stuck in two points and because I am working I can’t really spend too much time thinking on how to do it.
So here are the two issues I am encountering:
-
I need some sort of modifiers like in traktor, so with one single button I can switch between different effects (M1.0 M1.1 and so on) (i guess you know the trick…if you don’t let me know…it’s pretty useful in traktor)
-
Do you have any ideas on how can I consolidate even better my mixes in case I have something like 500 songs and completely different sounds (apart from odd reverb effect or mix in key)? Let’s say I chopped two songs in 5 different parts and would like to have a sort of live mashup…how would you go to not give the perception to the listener that it’s a mashup?
I like the Minus style of mixing as you can’t really tell when a song start/end. So the entire set is robust! I wish I could get the same final effect.
Hope you could understand what I meant and find solution for it,
The set I am developing it’s pretty interesting and as soon as I have a beta version I will share a video or mix with the web.
Cheers
Calvin
