Jules72 Very different IMO. Others might disagree but for me if you’re using Ableton you essentially have to work out the set beforehand as the tracks require warping before you can use them in a mix. That’s quite time consuming if you’re trying to work out what works with what. I know for example @Unbroken1 plans his on CDJs first before going into Ableton.
Ableton is much more powerful though, and allows you to use plugins, micro tweak the EQ in real time (unlike MM where you have to adjust and then listen back), select audio segments and edit and export them back into the mix, run limiters on the master sound levels etc.
A printed mix off Ableton also sounds miles better than MM.
I basically only use MM now to plan sets as I can listen to 12 or so transitions a minute, but because it annoyingly doesn’t work on any 64 bit macs means I have to use a PC for that…
