I have a question about DJ’n with Ableton Live 7.
I have mapped my Axiom midi just fine and works. However, when i assign a key to play a track or stop a track…when i press the key for example ‘play’ the play icon seems to blink for a constant 3 seconds then the track plays, same if i stop the track…so beat matching is like impossible unless i start 3 seconds early (which is annoying lol)…any ideas if this is a setting or something?
you can adjust when you want the sample to start from the menu. it sounds like your sample is set to start at the beginning of each bar. you can set them to start instantly, on the first beat, second beat, etc etc. not sure where the setting is, but you can search it in ableton help, or just look through the menus. hope this helps. also, make sure you properly warp your tracks or your beatmatchin’ wont matter.

If you click on the ikon at the top of the screen in the clip view - its the one to the left of the pecil ikon.
You can change this to what you want - if you have it set to 1 bar and you pressplay just after the bar has started then you will get the flashing ikon and it will wait for 1 bar to pass before playing your clip.
It depends on what tyoe of mixes you want to do and how quick you want that track to come into the mix.
If you want to say stutter the start of the track then set this to none every time you hit the play button it will start instantly.
Have a play about with the different settings
