![]() ![]() Eventually I made the switch to traktor to get back to what I felt was a more traditional sense of DJing. I "dj'd" with ableton for a couple of years but after a while it started to take the fun out of it for me, I realised that first and foremost ableton is a DAW and production environment, that's not to say you can do dj sets with it, many people can do truly amazing things with it but I felt myself getting a little stagnant, the warping of tracks / midi mapping macros and general preparation side of things can take up a lot of time. I bought an APC 40 for producing with Ableton, right out of the box it rocks, its simple to use and has enough knobs, faders and pads to map any way you would want or wish to. I am kind of novice to the world of production & djing. My only concern is as to whether I will be able to do both on an APC40 table ie performance and mixing. But will I be able to mix from one track to another and recording that set as smoothly as using traktor? Or do both hardware equipments have to be used together.? Spicing them up would be great with an APC40. But I also feel I am limited with current tracks and their set up. My question though is will I be able to use that table for DJing as well? I currently use traktor S2 and having spent about 6 months on it, I really start to get a feel for it. Therefore I want to limit it to remixing of tracks and the APC40 looks great for it. DJing is a hobby for me, and unfortunately I don't have more time available to dedicate to it. By basic music production I mean remixing some existing tracks though clip launching/effects/etc etc rather than producing tracks from scratch. I was thinking of buying an APC40 for basic music production & djing.
