In this realm, if you go for the Novation Launchpad, you’ll want a DJ mixer-style Midi controller too, and the Novation Nocturn is a good pairing for it.

It is closer to traditional DJing so you can learn manual beatmatching on it, while still giving you the chance to get creative with samples and produce your own mashups, albeit mashups you’ll have to “perform” live every time you play them.Ībleton Live is a much steeper learning curve, and is a way removed from DJing as most people know it, being close to real music production with a jamming element thrown in. You can learn beatmatching on it manually, and also move into creative jamming with samples and even record impromptu elements with microphone (or bass!) and throw them over your mix. The Novation Nocturn could give you DJ controls that the Launchpad lacks, if you choose to go down that route. Look at the Traktor Kontrol S4 – four decks or two decks and multiple sample slots, lots of “mashup flexibility”, but also the ability to DJ completely normally too. We love the Novation Twitch, but even though you can trigger Serato ITCH’s sample decks from it now that ITCH has hit v2.1, we still think for mashups you’d find it limiting. I also want to learn to beatmatch ‘properly’.” Digital DJ Tips says: Scratching would be nice but isn’t too important, but I would like sample triggers, more cues, and splicing options. “For this I was thinking of the Novation Launchpad with Ableton bundle, but am curious what you think would be best. I already have a ton of ideas for unique pairings. “I’ve also been reading through the mashup guide you have on your site and really think that is where I’m going to make my local name and find the most creative satisfaction. I’m currently thinking the Novation Twitch might be the right controller for me to learn on, especially with that slicer, but am concerned about only having two tracks. So I am still looking for the right entry to mid-level controller. “I got close using a reggae loop from a Bob Marley track and putting it under a vocal heavily ED’d track from Kanye, got it all beatsynced and was grooving, but I didn’t have a third spot to go for the next music track. I wanted easier access to samples, and one shots, I wanted to run an acappella track and mix and cut together multiple music tracks underneath below to make live mashups. “I bought a Numark Mixtrack, but found that although my DJ skills matched the controller perfectly, my producer / musician ear had already felt like I’d outgrown it. I played in rock bands and always considered it my job to get people’s heads nodding, no matter how heavy the music, so DJing seemed perfect for me. Reader DJ Mustachio Nuts (great name!) writes: “I’ve been a musician, mostly bass, all my life which has definitely helped me understand the core job of a DJ – getting people to shake their asses! – which is what I loved about being a bass player.
