You’ve totally got that synth disco style down to a t dude. Nice site look rad.

@Phartgarden & @K As for Ableton mixes, try using an Auto-Filter with a High Pass (low cut). It sweeps really nicely through the frequencies when mixing.

I love the Lifelike remixes + I just found out my husband has the Pineapple “Come on Closer” vinyl….Apparently it’s a Chicago classic….hahaha The funny thing is I didn’t know about it until I heard the Moulinex cover….I guess that is the problem with the younger generation, we’re not aware of the classics until someone decides to remix them….or include them in a mix!

Great song selection throughout! :)

Also any chance you could throw these tracks into a zip file? I have been looking for a good mp3 of Vh1 for awhile and ever since I saw Lifelike and Braxe do their thing I have been eager to increase my lifelike stock. THanks

When you say you cut out parts, are you splicing out chorus/verse stuff or do you have a method for extracting a bass or vocal line and do you know where I could learn more about that?

thanks – i need to post more modern friendly electro tracks. i’ll do that today…

i am an ableton noob. i am used to mix cds.
for my ableton live mix, i cut out the parts of songs i want, then position them so they mix well.
i use some effects, recording them live, then making tweaks to it later.
i was using ableton live 6, just using built in 3band EQ.

my goal is to play around with live6 on my powerbook, then eventually get Live 8 with an APC40 and a macbook pro toward the end of the year.

Hey Kiyoshi,

It’s my birthday today and seriously I couldn’t have asked for a better present than this website. Amazing. While I start sifting through all of these new tracks I had a question about your plans with Ableton.

When you are going to be mixing, are you using the stems of tracks to mix cleanly or do you use an equalizer to filter out the sections you dont want? If you are doing the former, where is a good place to get stems? And if the latter, are you just using ableton’s 8-band or a VST?

Thanks. And legitimate praise on the website. Looks great and listens great.

Hi Kiyoshi,

First off, love the site, I’ve been telling friends about it.

Second, do you know any good online tutorials for beginners of Ableton? Primarily on DJing Live in the session view. I’ve been tinkering around with it, but I since have no real background in DJing, I’m kind of hitting a roadblock and need a little direction. Any tips.

Thanks
