The “Assign” button is doubtless to control whether the track is assigned to side A or B of the crossfader. This is more obvious in the fourth photo, which is clearly a different device. Rec is probably to grab a loop from the current audio into the track on which he hits the button.

Rec buttons are probably for looping purpose… we tend to forget about it, but it’s pretty useful to get an element of the last track going on forever as if it belonged to both mixed songs! Check out the loopy groove of Ireland from Fergie in his 2008 Thank you mix… it goes on forever even 4-5 minutes after the actual track has been mixed! Live also quantizes loops by itself, so it’s really easy to get it tight, which is much likely to be used as oppose to the human factor that comes into play when looping CDJs or serato in a live situation… Hope this helps!

wow, thanks for this info. I wanted to go see sasha that day but had to work and most important broke as a joke. I believe you have it down just by looking at it. Did you ever find out about the rec button? I believe it so that he can sample in real time and over lay any bit of beats or melody’s. Let me know I am probably wronge. Again thanks on the inside info on sashas mixer. By the way if your a bald guy I believe i have sean you open for dave seamen..
