Last monday I already wrote about the recent increase of web traffic. Studying the logs I found out that there was a lot of traffic comming from Bee Mp3.

Last week I added a Tag Cloud to the site to make navigation of related articles easier. As I was checking some statistics a noticed that data traffic is starting to go rise and lately has gone sky high.

While I’ve been trying to fuse Traktor Scratch Pro and Ableton Live using MIDI sync I knew that Ableton and Serato had a partnetship going on. Today the result has been announced in the form of Bridge.

MIDI Syncing Ableton Live or any other software application with another MIDI source has always been a challenge. For some time OverSoft and I have been tying to sync two Ableton Live systems. But also Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Pro is on the sync list. After a number of tests and different configuration settings in both hardware and software, I think I’ve found all the ingredients to get the perfect MIDI sync.

After the success of the APC 40, AKAI has a new MIDI controller ready for Ableton Live: The AKAI APC 20. Smaller than the APC 40, but still looking very functional.

Since my sessions in Ableton Live are starting to become pretty large it is easy to lose the overview. Especially in my acapella sessions it is for me important to quickly find the acapellas with a certain Harmonic Key. So I use colors to differentiate the various Harmonic samples.

I wish everyone a happy new year. I hope that 2010 will be an exciting year and that the DJ & music evolution will continue in all it’s forms as it did in 2009.

In 1990 they hit the charts big with Dub be good to me, the boys and girls from Beats International. Today the sound and samples still echo in many DJ sets, especially the acapella.

In search for remix material of the Fireflies track I ran into a raggaeton remix from steffwell4.

The 10 year anniversary of Ableton is bringing us a lot of goodies just before the holidays: big amounts of discount, the release of Max for Live and a special Lite and Intro Edition of Ableton Live. On top of all that they also released 10 Free Ableton Live Packs from 10 different artists.
