I never properly learned DJ-ing with turntables, but that’s how I first got introduced to it, and I must say the inherent simplicity (hard, but simple!) of that setup made it easier to understand how mixing works. There’s definitely an elitist side to the new turntable purism though and I think DJ-ing with software is much more practical and accessible for most. Although I think it makes sense to try out turntables at some point just to understand where it comes from. When you talk about mixing in Ableton, the one thing I wonder about is the live aspect. In most DJ-software it’s super easy to set cue points and loops and do remixes on the fly. As far as I understand, with Ableton you’d have to prepare your track properly by cutting it up in ‘clips’ before-hand. Or does that become super fast with practice?
