Fade to Grey: The Best DJ Effect in Live | Ableton Live Tutorial

In this video, we will be taking a look at the best dj effect in Live: the fade to grey. This is a fantastic tool for mixing in and out of any song while on stage.

Love it!!!

[@bixotti]

Awesome, I love new things to try w/ my work, great video!

[@Swithyyyy]

Incredible. First off, your original tracks sound great. Second, I’ve been using Ableton for 6 years and had no idea it had Endless Smile built in as a preset lol thanks for the tip!

Thank you

I’ve always wanted to try DJing with Ableton. I want to figure out a way to do live, improvisational remixes of my songs. I feel limited by my gear though. I’ve been on the hunt for a low budget control surface that can do what I want

You can make micracles with Ableton only with your pc keyboard and Diva Synth VST. For a Controller, the best choice is Akai APC 40 MK2 for Live performances and djing. Or the Ableton Push to quickly create music, using the Step Sequencer and as a powerfull midi instrument. You can play like Mozart on it with three finger. Using both heaven is the limit

Do you have the ableton templete?? That would be super helpful!!

[@90sTVRaps]

I dont have this rack, is that because my Ableton is the standard version?

[@Gome.o]

I did not know Live had DJ presets built in. Do you just use live by itself for DJ’ing? Or do you combine live with turntables as well?

[@zubayrbhyat8077]

Used this live today. It works both ways. Fade a track in or fade it out. Very clean effect.

I'm not planning to DJ with Live, but I could see uses for this for transitions within songs. I only recently understood (at least I think I do, in a basic way) Ableton's whole A-B crossfader thing. Is there a reason you didn't use that in the demo?

@@CatalyzeMusicAcademy Makes sense
