[dnb-prod] using Live in DJ sets

[Zach Bass]

I've started using Ableton Live in DJ sets alongside vinyl.  It's very 
cool, except beatmatching is somewhat difficult.  I've set a slider on 
a midi controller to control the tempo in Live, so it works like a 
regular pitch control on a turntable.  However, since the controller 
only has 128 values for the entire range in Live (60-200bpm), it's not 
very precise (each MIDI value is over 1bpm adjustment).

Is there a way to do smaller pitch adjustments in Live?  It would be 
cool if you could restrict the tempo range (since I'm usually playing 
dnb, restricting the tempo to between 160 - 180bpm would make control 
much more precise).

Ideas anyone?  I've tried tapping tempo, but this isn't nearly precise 
enough either.
