Back in the studio

I've been spending quite some time in the studio lately. Expirimenting and learning to use new equipment: ableton with midicontrollers. And for those who don't habla: 100% laptop mixing. This isn't easy I can tell you. The step from vinyl to CD's had advantages and disadvantages. One of the bigger disadvantages is that you kinda lose control over your music collection. I had a bag with vinyl records with sleeves and notes and it was very easy to remember all the tracks. I never thought about it - at the time - how my mind stores all that data, but today I do and I find it extremely difficult. Today I don't even have a CD with a label on it. I just have bits and pieces (way too many of them) and an extremely crappy interface. It is unbelieveable how many laptop DJ's are out there and the market has not even provided them with the right tools. Anyway, it is still fun. It feels like a completely different approach to the same thing. I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback on what's coming.
