#USING AN APC 40 WITH DJAY PRO PORTABLE#
This portable controller works with djay 2 for iOS & Android and djay Pro for iPad and Mac. If you want inputs (for recording, or just running your mixer into Live to use Live's FX on your CDJs), then a lot of people on here seem to get off on the MOTU stuff, and the Apogee duet is meant to be pretty good too.MIXTOUR has been designed from the ground-up to offer a compact, two-channel DJ controller layout which allows you to get the party started anywhere, anytime. NI Audio 2 DJ will do the job perfectly and for cheap (it even comes with stereo-jack to phono cables so you can just plug it straight into your mixer and cue from there like you normally would). the apc and ableton will be your new best friends. You might be clueless right now, but after a while. Great video on djing with ableton live by Tom Cosm. Any information would be helpful, thanks.

Anyone have a APC40 setup with their DJ set? Can I do mixes on Ableton using the APC40 as I would have done on a software such as Acid Pro? I would like to make mix CD's on Ableton as I used to do on Acid Pro.
I'm assuming I will need a external audio interface in order to CUE on the APC40 and Ableton Live? I'm new to Ableton Live as well as it came with the Akai device.

Now I have this APC40 and don't know how to incorporate it into my DJ setup, LOL She went to Guitar Center and they pointed her to the APC40 with Ableton.
She heard me talking to a friend on how I wanted to try out MIDI and incorporate into my DJ setup. Would that be good for the setup I need and to CUE? Thanks for the info.ĭjtrixxx wrote:My wife got me the Akai APC40 for x-mas. Just spoke to a friend and he has a M-Audio Audiophile USB interface. I am looking to get an external audio interface.

On the midi side of it, you would need a keyboard or pad controller to input notes and play along with your records - but that's a whole other area. You can control the looper plugin with a keyboard sustain pedal plugged into the apc40. Just remember at that point, everything is going through the computer, so you'll have some risk with that.Īlternatively, you could route a deck into ableton and use the looper plugin to build up scratch/beat effects and make your own little audio clips.fun. Set the two different decks to A/B so you can use the apc40 DJ slider. If you have multiple inputs on your sound card you could probably also get your decks into ableton on two different tracks and put effects on them - control the effects with the apc40 encoders. You can either adjust ableton to match the rest of your setup with nudge/tap tempo or you can adjust your decks to ableton. Now you should be bouncing along pretty closely. While pressing nudge, you can hit the tempo button and the tempo will stay permanently lower - otherwise hitting nudge just slows ableton down temporarily.ħ. You can use the nudge buttons to slow down or speed up a little - somewhat like you'd use the speed slider on your deck. Your ableton mix should be playing in your headphone at the tempo you tapped - which should be close to your deck tempo.Ħ. If it didn't come it right, press stop and hit play on the next measure start.ĥ. You might be able to disable that, not sure.Ĥ. On your fourth tap ableton will start playing. Tap the tempo to set to what they are playing(or in your case, the tempo of your decks).ģ. You can press the activate and cue/solo button at the same timeĢ. Set the track/s you want to bring in to cue and deactivate them. On the master output, activate the cue function by pressing the solo button (i think)ġ. One with a set of mains and an addressable headphone output will work. You'll need a multiple output audio interface - hopefully you have one. I was playing with a group of musicians the other day and I did it like this:īefore starting, make sure you have your 'cue' output set up.
