Hi,
seems like the classic porject is not developed anymore:
(from the page)
NOTE TO SELF I need to point the liveapi URLs at MDK’s project to reflect that I’m not doing anything with this anymore.
yeah there is another project here:

Is there a way to make it so Live can read torq, final stratch, and serato files so that the warp makers from live can be used in those progams? I want to stracth the old stuff i warped in Live.

LiveApi.org website is down since 2 weeks now. Any body has feedback about the liveAPI project recently?

Dj McManus, please continue to bump into the metaphorical sliding glass door while I sip my cocktail and laugh. :)

I took the time to describe my particular approach to Live DJing (along with lots of “biased” commentary) on my myspace blog.

Regardless of my personal opinions, I invite you to experiment, and discover ways of working that suit your personal approach. The LiveAPI can only make more personalized approaches more feasible.

Good luck!

I’ve found Deckadance to be very unstable. The track view window which shows the entire track as a whole doesn’t offer adequate detail compared to the corresponding windows in Traktor, or even Virtual DJ.

Maybe if you could run two instances of Live on the same machine and link them together?

That might be an easy enough hack which would solve things for alot of users AND bring my post back to the post which generated this thread AND it will drive Gustavo crazy.

@DJ McManus: That’s about as frequently asked a question as Live gets. I don’t think there is a solution for *viewing*. What you’re doing is probably your best bet. The other alternative now will be loading something like Deckadance as a plug-in, and focusing on Live for doing less traditional things, though I know that’s a poor replacement.

Even if you created a plug-in for display, Live doesn’t display more than one plug-in view at once.
