I have been spinning vinyl for 12 years, so I have some background to speak from. Ableton gives unprecedented control over music. I can play any song I can think of, rearrange tracks, remove parts that I don't like, take good beats out of boring songs, and so forth. If you are using Ableton, and using it like a traditional DJ setup (2-4 decks, play the whole song, etc...) then you are seriously under-utilizing this tool. Check out some live recordings (my first few, I am still getting the hang of the software) at http://www.mixdepot.net/briandervish

The "Live at the Vault" has a little Eagles and Ted Nugent, the "Cavestock" set has some Sly and the Family Stone and a Chris Rock standup. You see what I mean?

im a amateur desktop dj, although all of a sudden im getting people adding me on myspace saying that my mixes are mad, and where do i play?........

But most recently a well known Melbourne DJ sent me a message with a few tips for my bootlegs, and recommended Ableton Live...

I've had a look on the ableton website and it definitely looks like a powerful program.. especially more so than Acid! And from what i can gather all you guys rate it highly... but would you recommend it to someone who's only doing this as a hobby (at this stage?)

here's a link to my most recent mix..

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1R1KBEQ9

01 Swen Webber VS Run DMC vs Jason Nevins - Bassman vs It's like that (Hightower booty) - Pulp Fiction - Jack Rabbit Slim's twist contest

04 New Young Pony Club - Ice Cream (Thee Bang Gang Deejays remix)

06 Alex Kenji VS Outwork - Samurai (Original Electro House Mix) VS Elektro (Acapella) (ht's Elektro Ninjas mix)
07 Alexkid VS New Order - love letters (marc romboy remix) VS Crystal (Acapella) (HT 'crystal letters' booty)
08 The migrants - i thought that (boris dlugosch remix) - Charlie goes to candy mountain
09 Samuel L Session - Can You Relate feat. Paris The Black Fu (Main Mix)
10 Mark Knight - Party Animal (Workidz Remix) (HT Shuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnn edit)

I love Abelton. The possibilties of sound creation is awesome. I think that they could put a few more things in it to make it work better as a live dj platform. As it is, it is still awesome.

Playing live I've not used it yet. just starting to get the hang of it (not too hard) at home. It's a nice extra for a set, but I feel it should not BE the set...
