Top 10 mixing technique for DJs

  1. Mix A DJ Set Live Or In Ableton? The answer is simple, purpose. If your mix is going to be used to get a gig, mix it live. You want the mix to represent what you can do live. If you spend hours in Ableton making insane filter envelopes and delays that you can’t recreate with a mixer on the fly, you will be misrepresenting yourself and possible kill your chances at a future gig. If you are making a mix for a podcast or sale, using the computer to control every aspect of the mix is ideal for producing the most polished product.
