    Hi can anybody suggest a good USB controler for realtime mixing / trigering / scratching ect... At the moment I'm using a 12" Powerbook runing Live 5 with an M-audio keyboard which is great, but I'd like to be able to do a bit more.

    I was looking at the Hercules console. It looks good. Does anybody know if it works with Live?

    Thanks!

    At the moment im using this Link

    Its a fantastic controller for live. The knobs are "endless rotary" and any changes you make in live with your mouse/keyboard that is also assigned to a button/knob on your controller is replicated on the controller via a feedback system.

    The controller is about the area of a laptop and a very good build.

    Im actually going to get this next LINK as it is much more suited to DJ'n. I might even use the two in conjunction. Now there is a great combination if you have the skill to extract their potential.

    I did a collab session recently with a friend. He was exclusively on vinyl and we ran his outputs through my inputs and was able to remix his stuff live!..was fun, was messy, was a disaster...was focking brilliant. I havent even scraped the surface of ableton...a life long thing id say.

    uusing the m-audio trigger figger, pretty good and great for trigger
    loops and drum samples over tracks, only critism would be that
    there's not enough controllers on it & it has a slight toy kinda feel to it.

    I'm using an M-audio Keyboard and already I've run out of buttons. I'm trying to figure out what else can be done with Live. Obviously beat-matching, trigering loops / samples, and adding FX are all pretty straight forward.

    Anyone got any ideas?
