no, i know so. Live is controlled through MIDI CC messages. the only way youre going to get a MIDI message to you computer is through and audio/midi interface. Anyone buying a mixer like this will/should already know this. if you dont beleive me, make sure you ask. think about it. How are you going to get midi messages to you computer if there is no USB slot? look at the back panel http://www.residentadvisor.net/forum_read.asp?id=19848 trust me mate, you'll need a midi interface to run the mixer to your computer through to abelton, but on that note it will function as a normal mixer for your decks.
the 300-3000 price range i stated was for audio interfaces with midi i/o like the RME Fireface or the MOTU traveler. Thats the top notch shit. but you can get the midi only M-audio products etc.
the tweakheaz site is really good. The guy who writes it is a music production teacher and has heaps of industry experience. His "lessons" on the site are really consice and dont expect you to know it all. you can cross reference between subjects on the site, and is with out doubt the most helpfull tool on the internet i have ever come across for this topic
