I would like to use ableton to edit a DJ mix, add a voice over in parts, master etc etc, as the set goes on, the temp speeds up. Starts at about 128 and ends about 138 as my sets tend to.
is there anyway I can do this?
Also do you think its a good idea to record a traktor set directly into ableton with a non static tempo?
I use sound forge now but ableton would give me more options?
Views welcome please 
I’m having issues here if anyone can help.
I’m using a audio kontrol 1 which as 2 inputs, this shows up in ableton as 1/2 or 1 or 2
So I have my mic on 1 and DJM into 2 - it the only way I think. does this mean its recording in mono?
how can I set this up to record my DJM and my mic all from the AK1?
switch off warping,
it’s best for any mastering application,
yes it will be mono! Record the mix and do the voiceover after
or record your voiceover with 3rd party app…like record in windows, using your build in soundcard
cool, I wanna record the mix and voice at the same time. mic is xlr so cant use internal sound card, needs to be the AK1 - so internal soundcard for the mix via soundforge and voice via abelton then I can put the wav into ableton of the mix right?
What about the issue of the hitting record button at different times from 2 different softwares and the voice being out of sync with the mix, anyway around this???
think I need a new sound card with more inputs… audio DJ 8 look like it would do the job
just record it and import in to ableton, trim as needed
easy
if you have the cash get Traktor Scratch Pro while is on offer, it works out cheaper than the AUDIO 8DJ on its own
well after a few hours I’ve got it working the best I can, recording mix via internal sound card and sound forge while recording voice via ableton and the AK1
using a 4 click count down in ableton before the recording start so I can hit record on soundforge and then import the soundforge file.
no more doing the voice over after and better editing and cheaper then buying a new soundcard!
got there in the end
Hey, just in case this might be of some help for later, you can also automate the BPM on the master track in ableton. If for example you wanted a gradual rise of 10bpm during your set without you having to worry about it when putting together your mix. It’s probably not optimal when performing a set but if you’re just making a mix and want it to rise slowly over time it can be useful.
Also in session view, if you rename the scene in the master column ‘180 bpm’ then that scene will launch at 180 bpm regardless of the master tempo (well actually it changes the master tempo).
Only works if you launch the scene from the master column though, not with follow actions etc.
This means you could have one scene called 140 bpm, then the next 145 etc and so on.
With your quantize set to 1 bar, Ableton does a pretty good job at handling the tempo change too.
Natty little tip that.
