DJ software?

I've been playing around with various dj programs, and I'm
feeling that the programs are quite limited. For now I'm
most fond of Traktor, but it doesnt have VST support or an
ability to prepare files, with cue points or loops, which
would be so lovely. Any ideas?

it used to have it. all of it. right from its first version,
if you are using 3rd one. yeah it sucks because of this but
theres 4 decks and cool phaser and reverb effect. i don't
mix a lot. not really into it any more, it doesn't matter to
me. you can put 20 secs fade time in winamp if you play
structured music like techno or drum & bass its a mix up too
pretty much... good luck.
ps: if you ever need to perform live, use a brainspawn
program called "Forte" its designed specifically for that
purpose, you can use up to like twenty vsti's at once. it is
the best of it kind, possible even one and only.

what does ableton has to do with it? it is from the original
creators of acid pro actualy untill sony media software
bought them... ableton is cool, i like operator really. i
have done few tracks in it. but i would not use it for a
live performence. or you just want to know a little more
about ableton too? what am i some kind of information-line?

I've tried Live, but I feel you loose the side of DJing when
you need to split everything to separate samples and all
that jazz. Are there any good examples of how to use Live as
a DJ tool?

no u beatmatch the tempo of both tracks. its the main
advantage or sequencers from ableton and previously sonic
syndicate or what

um ableton is insanely beyond tracktor for djing.

the main problem is you have to very meticulously make sure
your tracks are beatmatched properly. even though the built
in beatmatching is quite good, its far from perfect. once
you get that down, youre going to be doing things light
years beyond what tracktor can do.

listen it is not even ment for this purpose. are you trying
to diss ableton crew? it's the best sequensing beatmatcher
around.

I posted this in the Tuss@33 thread.
you guys might find it interesting..
pretty limited but fun.

Have you guys not heard of THIS great piece of
software?
Its totally free and very small (only 152k).

Direct Link to mr1200 file

Anyway.. It is basically a software turntable.. plays .mp3
at variable speeds of up to +/- 8% or 20% of original speed
of the recorded .mp3. so yeah.. rip your mp3 and slow it
down
or speed it up via this fun little program..

I found a link to it a few years back. seems not too many
people have tried it?

Hope you enjoy!

you don't have to "split everything into samples," on
Albeton as much as "easily set time envelopes." I've never
tried Traktor, but Ableton seems pretty decent if you're
just about software DJing... the tutorial there has a little
section where it shows you how to crossfade and a few other
simple tricks. I'd recommend doing all the tutorials Ableton
has actually.

I've been playing around with Ableton Live as a DJ tool
today, and starting to get the hang of it. The only thigs is
mixing up different tempo tracks, as all the clips you have
obey the main tempo so if you have one that is 60bpm and one
is 100bpm it kinda tricky, but it would be tricky with
anything tho. Lovely. Anyone have good tips for vsts or
something else for ableton for djing?
