Having played with both of these approached, I must say “Set-freak” is the way to go. I have about 5 “stems” that I manipulate in real-time (i.e. drums, perc, bass, synths, vox) and hundreds of clips per channel. I use a CC knob to vertically move my “focus” to new sets of clips, which I can immediately trigger with my Monome64 and manipulate with my BCR2000.

For those of you who are interested in turning your Live setup into an “instrument”, definitely check out what Moldover is up to. He’s got a nice video detailing his custom controller, Live set and Reaktor patches. (http://www.controllerism.com)

i want to be a dragger, but i get glitches when dropping an AU or VST clip into session view. any advise?

FZero: Yes: render the clips (or freeze + flatten, does the same thing). It's much lighter on the CPU and HD in a live situation. Don't forget to keep the original versions for further editing, though.
