Re: Mixing with Ableton 5

I just thought of this last night. I can use my abilities with track warping in live along with my oxygen 8 as a midi controller and make a mix that way. Using seperate eq's for each track as a way to blend the songs together.

Gonna try it out tonight, after I get all the freaking tracks warped. That's gonna take some time.

Re: Mixing with Ableton 5

Yeah you gotta have a midi mixer

Re: Mixing with Ableton 5

dude you don't NEED a midi mixer. Something like an Oxygen 8 will do just fine, you can use the keys to trigger your tracks, and the knobs to act as your eq, and volume control.

It's beautiful.
