    Dubfire is the best underground legend of any genre - never sold out, solid guy and one of the best producers ever

    • @ItsWesSmithYo
      @ItsWesSmithYo Год назад

      Not sure what sellout means but if you mean made money…his Grammys, Apple commercials and global success as a house hold DJ and producer before the Dubfire project certainly helped chase the underground dream. Either way, this, that, and Dubfire are dope.

    When he said two club next to each other, he was mentioning Zei Club and Spy Club. Zei was the original home for Glow Saturdays. They (Glow/Panorama Productions) were the first that brought DJ Tiesto to Washington DC in the year 2000. Now I wonder if he is talking about Reggie Wilson who was a resident DJ at Zei or Spy.

    even after i have synced ableton and traktors midiclocks, i still have to manually change the bpm on the push? and have to keep clicking the sync button! is there a way it does this automatically because im sure hawtin and dubfire never have all this trouble?

    • @LIFEwithhughlurcott
      @LIFEwithhughlurcott 9 лет назад +2

      +shane gallagher Hawtin recently said in a CNTRL tour interview that he manually syncs traktor to ableton so that he can feel in control of what is playing and not that the computer is in control.. he only syncs within traktor and then beat matches ableton

    So he has ableton and traktor running at the same time ? no idea if my laptop would stand that

  • @ACCOUNTANTB
    @ACCOUNTANTB 8 лет назад

    Theres a problem - this setup is only able to combine 4/4 beats together with bank of loops (whatever they are made - bass, bassdrum, synth melodies) and anything else that needs bpm beatmatch....otherwise he needs to mark bpm of the entire stuff else and so add new things on different sort of beats (non 4/4)

  • @aligboyakasha

    • @neiloughton
      @neiloughton 10 лет назад +1

      Hey Brad, sure I've had a crack with it before, theres also Soundflower which does a similar thing. I'd just wonder how Dubfire actually does it - some people prefer not to use midi sync and beat match Ableton in manually.

    • @KINGCH33TVH
      @KINGCH33TVH 10 лет назад

      Ableton. Everything he was doing is done in live. I am kinda curious as to how the mapping for the push to traktor works.

    • @mattcolorz
      @mattcolorz 10 лет назад +2

      Not sure myself but the way i see it is that Ableton is synced with Traktor decks as the sound of Ableton is a "Live Mix" deck in Traktor...so, the Push is controlling all the functions of Ableton in the background but the output sound will go through Traktor as a fourth deck...or at least that's how i see it!

    • @KINGCH33TVH
      @KINGCH33TVH 10 лет назад

      he could have the decks running threw ableton too. Then effect the decks with abletons effects as well.

      So basically i have pioneer djm 850, 2x1's and ableton push.... is it possible to somehow have 3 trackdecks and also run the push in the background? I play a lot of loops and is important for me to have full control over 3 decks.... and also to manage the push to run in the background... im just not sure if that is possible with the mixer i have as it has an internal soundcard. Thanks a lot in advance bro!
