Ableton Live! – Time Warping for DJ use – DJ Kevin James
Sep 7th
How to time-warp a song in ableton live. First part of a series on using Ableton Live! for DJing www.djkevinjames.com I will be posting a new video shortly. As I stated before, this is the long way of doing it. You can do it much faster without changing the project tempo, and using the warp from here option. Once you get the first few markers set, the rest of the markers pretty much fall in to place. For the people who said they don’t think I know what I am doing, I might not, but it works for me, and a couple thousand other people. Please post a link to how you do it, if you can do it better. -KJ

CLP on Ableton Live
Sep 1st
CLP is Chris de Luca and Phon.o. The sound they make is a funky hybrid of intergalactic hip hop, ghetto beats, sexy booty IDM and dirty techno that takes musical genres, chews them up and turns them into good-natured grooviness. CLP is currently getting kudos on both sides of the Atlantic for their LP ‘Supercontinental’, released at the end of 2008 on Shitkatapult records. In this movie, they open up their Live Sets and talk about making music with Live, effect chains, performance and triggering video with Live. The guys also share their thoughts on Live 8, which they’ve been Beta testing.

Berlin Calling: New film starring Ableton Live!
Aug 22nd
New film starring Ableton Live! How many music software products can claim to be filmstars? As far as we know, only one: Ableton Live. A new film, “Berlin Calling”, not only features some outrageously prominent onscreen footage but also stars renowned DJ and long-time Live user Paul Kalkbrenner in the leading role. A big thank you to Paul and the film’s director, Hannes Stöhr, for giving us such wonderful publicity. The plot goes something like this: Berlin electronic music composer Martin (Paul Kalkbrenner), known as DJ Ickarus, is touring with his manager and girlfriend Mathilde (Rita Lengyel) from club to club around the globe and is about to release his biggest album to date. All of his plans are thrown out of kilter, however, after Ickarus is submitted to a psychiatric clinic high on drugs after a gig. Go and see the film to discover what happens next (hint: witness the therapeutic powers of Ableton Live!) “Berlin Calling” opens in Germany on October 2 and is expected to be released internationally soon afterwards.
