This is my basic DJ setup for the APC40 and Ableton Live 7.0. It consists of Ableton only effects and requires no VSTs/AUs to run.
I would suggest using some sort of limiter on the master channel. I placed a Compressor on the master but prefer the sound of after-market VSTs personally. I use PSP Vintage Warmer 2 to get a much warmer sound on my master.
For each DJ set, I start with this then I will add effects that I feel will work with the set. So I did not include any send/return effects in this template. Use what you think works best for you.
Requirements:
live_dj_setup.als : Live 7.0
live_dj_setup_psp_warmer.als : Live 7.0, PSP Vintage Warmer 2
Akai APC40
