yeah right, sounds to me like he's just making excuses for when he just lets the DAT run thru to me

if something goes wrong to the point were u cant carry on then any crowd with their head's screwed on understand that its not ur fault surely? and if they dont then just throw a synth at them and walk off haha

these "live pa's" people are knocking out are not Live sets, they are simply a mixture of their own tracks that they've mixed in Ableton, and half the time with no real flow or dexterity to the sets or music.... there are however some who do it extremely well with alot of interactions, fresh elements dropped in along the way etc etc, but its still not live in the sense of playing the instruments, playing the sampler, playing the keyboard, playing the drum machine

thats live to me and i wont be budged on it, someone mixing their own music in ableton is not live, the only thing live about it is in the software name ffs
