I agree. For a while we had a rash of local Ableton users and their sets were really boring for two reasons: one reason was because I think the DJ felt that their set was special or impressive mainly because they were using Ableton and two I don't think that they were really using the software

I agree, I like Richie Hawtin sets that are a bit less-extravagent with the gear (ie the mid-1990's). For me, it's almost like he is concentrating on the technology more than the crowd connection. His sets were a bit more human, with a lot more fire back in the day. The Mixmag Live CD

Also, I don't think he claimed to be the first guy to incorporate a 909 (or any other technology) into his sets, and I believe in an old metroTimes article he stated that it was Jeff Mills, who was already using a 909 in his sets, that encouraged him to try it out, too. I remember him

Sorry i have skipped a bit of the conversation , you all talk too much ! Whats sure is that in the 90s or early 2ks' Hawtin was showing skills on 3 decks, was playing the 909 even better than Mills IMO and he rocked eveywhere he's been. And he got a solid tracklisting full of tribal mixed
