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

SETUP
3 main DJ Channels
Channel 4 is blank
Channel 5-7 Acapellas,loops and efx
each channel has a “DJ Mixer” rack with following functions
1 – DJM 800 style filter
2 – Super Luper loop Length
3 – Super Luper Nitrous effect
4 – Fade 2 Grey
5 – Bass EQ
6 – Mid EQ
7 – Hi EQ
8 – Gain

-rack consists of the following effects…
1. Utility set to -6db (this allows faders to be used at full volume)
2. EQ 3
3. Fade To Grey
4. Super Luper
5. ALDJM8000

MIDI MAPPED KNOBS/BUTTONS/FADERS
Scene Launch 1-5 = Turn Super Luper on off for channels 1-5
Stop All Clips = removed function so this will no longer stop all cips
