Im still a old fashioned dj, still can’t accept ableton as part of my djing live set’s things.

But no doubt, what was sasha has done was a huge breakthrough by him. i mean he has changed his sounds, changed the gears etc, whether we like it or not.

Btw, i’ve heared that Maven was handcrafted from allen & heath..was it true?

[...] about this “Maven” mixer that Sasha has been using. I looked it up and found two sites, Create Digital Music and MusicThing.co.uk, that posted photos of the custom mixer way back in 2005. It’s rumored [...]

His ableton sets are crap dull & boring imo.

I’m pretty sure the Maven controller was devised by M-Audio, Ableton and requirements from Sasha. It looks to have a built in audio interface too, shame there aren’t any upclose (so you could clearly read the silk screen) pics.

I here he doesn’t let the press or people not with him too close to it.

If there wasn’t any progress in making music, we’d still be hitting all kinds of things..

You say this isn’t DJing but it’s really a personal preference. I use Ableton Live 6 w/ an Evolution controller for my live mixes. I remix like hell live, removing the 4 on the floor beats from various dance genres (Goa and the more beautiful trance goes well w/ it) and playing it alongside some of my break loops, then mixing them live and messing w/ the beats on the fly. I don’t beat match, but honestly very few can match the beats I’m pumping out.

I watched to guys use Ableton in two nights ago in Austin Texas. BASSNECTAR was an absolute joy to watch DJ. I heard him play two of tracks i own from vinyl and CD and he remixed em, added bass and depth. He had the crowd pissing themselves. He could throw in old 20’s style song and layer it with a fat break sound and then move to D&B five minutes later. I tried out Ableton and was mixing a snoop vocal with a breakbeat, ambient and house tune and then threw in some female vocals. Awesome!!! I’m switching.
