Full tracks "livesets" your point of view...

if you've made the track yourself, i don't see the problem, ableton is just a tool.

absolutely agreed.

live stands for 'self-created' as far as i believe, so no tracks (pieces, whole tracks, whatever) shouldn´t be in your liveset if you wanna call it that way. i don´t really know what you mean by prearranging a live set. like practicing it before playing? i don´t know, i guess everybody does that...
it is true that maybe some loops that sound like something 'familiar' would give the audience something to spice up the live you´re performing, i don´t really see a problem in including little pieces of other people´s works, but just like a cherry on top of a cake, to add a little of something, if the technique is abused it stops being a liveset and it becomes a really hard to build up dj set.

immho.

no.
prearranged is like if u have your whole set - tracks/loops/whatever in the arrange view prearranged
everything there - sequenced - just push play and walk away.

i didn´t think you would even consider that kind of playing...

another endless thread, like the vinyl/digital sht...
i think that ableton live sets using tracks of the performer, it's not a problem only when he uses it to get more organized in matter of a couple of minutes as he works on the liveset itself.
gives you more flexibility i guess, using pure tracks of his own sucks, and don't even say anything bout those who throw tracks of some other producers with ableton. lame.

Well, the worst i've seen was someone playin the arrangement view for one hour...

i consider a liveset being a liveset when the tracks are created during the performance. it's obvious that these are your own tracks...

when you use whole tracks from someone else, you're not doing a liveset imho but a dj set. and yes you can do a dj set in ableton.

dj=disc jockey, not a fader up n down in a screen.
