DJ Mixes in LOGIC

[Landslide]

Normally when i do a dj mix I record from vinyl and CD into Logic and use the automation to make really nice mixes.

 

I have a job to do which envolves a DJ mix /cut up of more than 70 tunes into a regular 70 minute CD.

 

I was wondering if there was a plugin that emulated the pitch and time control of a record /cd deck ? So i could bypass the need of the external record / cd decks.

 

If anyone has come acrosss such a plug in ( i havent ) let me know.

 

Thanks

You could try Ableton Live and use it's 'repitch' clip mode. AFAIK even with the (free) demo version you can rewire it into Logic.

As you will be using a lot of fairly short clips you could try converting them to Apple Loops, or put some in the EXS & pitch them that way, triggering them with midi notes. Or you could always work out the exact tempo of each & then stretch them all to the same tempo with the Time & Pitch Machine.

Izotope Vinyl just simulates the surface noise from vinyl records & adds it to an audio track. It doesn't do any sort of pitching.

Thanks for info.

 

Ive had a go with ableton but not rewired it with Logic. I think for ease ( and i dont know why i didnt think of this) will use the exs24 to trigger and test out potential mixes as suggested..... apple loops idea is a good one as well.

 

Thanks again.

Yes joel !!!

do yourself a huge favor and turn logic off for doing dj mixes. no need to even rewire it. ableton is the way to go, really. been doing a radio show for 2.5 years now and went through the exact same thing you are now. there's really no better alternative.

Ive heard this before and keep meaning to demo a mix with ableton.

 

However this mix is a dj mash up/cut up mix and as I understand ableton doesnt allow you to cut the audio to the same extent as LOGIC ? is this true.

Ableton cuts like a mad man!!! I use it all the time. Sometimes I'll do a short arrangment, bounce and then import into Logic. The arrange in abelton is great, especially when you learn the short cuts!!!
