Up to late on a Friday night I come across another how to video by the one and only Jim Pavloff. If you recall I wrote previously about the making of Smack my Bitch up Jim made using only Ableton Live. Here Jim does the same thing only shows us the inner workings and samples used for the classic Voodoo People by the Prodigy. If you recall this song was also featured in the movie Hackers which happens to be a favorite movie of mine.

This came across my Twitter stream and I found it quite impressive and it really shows just how much of a genius Liam Howlett (The brains behind the Prodigy) really is. This video shows Ukranian DJ Jim Pavloff taking us through the making of Prodigy’s hit “Smack my Bitch up” only using Ableton’s Live and some plugins. He also showcases all the samples Liam used in this production. So take a minute and check it out:

This is a pretty cool concept considering all the turntables coming out lately aren’t very unique… It has a USB, built in pre-amp, choice between line out or phono out so all you wannabe’s that own vinyl can easily import into iTunes or whatever your using.

Feel the Bass!

I am currently looking at purchasing a different digital DJ set up. I’m considering Serato Live or Traktor because I prefer the feel of vinyl. I’m even considering using Ableton Live with a controller but like I said before I prefer the vinyl feel. I have used Final Scratch 2 back in the day but was highly disappointed with it’s performance. So I am asking my readers what they use for their DJ arsenal?
