**Patrick DSP** · 12-02-2009, 03:59 PM

been talking about this site on the live pa board. it's great isn't it?

**weekender_veteran** · 13-02-2009, 01:25 AM

I'm shocked!!

does this sort of thing happen alot???

i've been to some awesome nights out in the past couple of years, and if i found out that some 'live sets' ive heard/seen were pre-recorded, it would really damage my faith in dance music, I mean really Gut me!!

I hope none of you lot could even think about pulling a stunt like this.

I shall be watching you all very very closely next time i go out.

Producing music is much much much harder than DJing. I don't get how we can knock producers and not DJing itself.

I don't give a **** if its not live. I know how much effort and commitment goes into producing and how any ****ing dick can match a few beats on some records which in many cases ain't even theirs.

There's some warped views on things.

Preparing a live pa is pretty difficult too. it's completely different than producing music. it's one thing to write a 5 min monster, it's another to write/semi-write a 60, 90 or 120min monster.

but "faking" a live pa like these artists have are in short cheating the crowd. They paid for a Live, active, "happening in front of them" performance and not some monkey pressing play on a DAT or CD. At least most performers that cheat just dj their full tracks in ableton, but the ones on this site show fully planned out sets (usually).

from my understanding, this happens a lot in the psy-trance world, and understandably so, psy-trance is extremely layered. maybe the crowds that go to psy-trance parties know they're just listening to a modern day version of a cd, maybe not. but it's good to see a site like this point out that you can't pull the wool over everyone's eyes.

FAKE'S WILL ALWAYS BE FOUND OUT! (whether or not people care is another topic.)

a fake live pa is no different than a fake dj set...

you are too hung up on the word 'live'

To say what you did, see quote, is just ridiculous. Maybe you have never tried production yourself.

DJing is such a different thing to music production.

I know that when I go and see a'live' PA the chances are it is not live. But at least the guy that actually wrote the ****ing music is up there getting the credit and not some jumped up little cunt behind the decks STEALING the credit.

Was you really that naive in the first place to think that it was all live?

I see what you're getting at. yes, playing live is a relative term. but, i wouldn't consider playing full tracks or full mixes in ableton/cubase/logic equal to composing and arranging loops, samples and sequences in real time. (yes i know many live pa's including my own that do just that) but that's my opinion.

But there's no need for personal digs my good man. i think there's more than enough sources out there to prove I'm far from talking out of my ass on this subject. ;)

I will agree that credit still needs to be given to the producer, it is difficult. but credit shouldn't be given to the producer posing as a performer and that's what this site is exposing.

No, got a link? :)

There is no such thing as a live PA though. It's all faked. You're all goddamn liars.

damn it, you saw the strings, didn't you? I'm gutted.

**Patrick DSP** · 13-02-2009, 09:19 PM

damn edit button timed out...

just wanted to add...

DeadAct.com is an online archive of videos found in the public domain that show electronic performers blatantly faking their "live set".

To qualify as a Dead Act, the performer must have pre set out their performance in such a way that if they were to drop dead, the set would keep playing on as normal. Bonus points for fake knob tweaking, failed attempts to play real instruments , and good orgasm faces.

**aNaLpLeAsEr** · 13-02-2009, 09:25 PM

ITs too easy to jump on the bandwagon with the current vogue.

The effort DJs put in is so ****ing lame in comparison. So many DJs make out they are doing something when they arn't. No one is bashing them. Its just pathetic.

I am not having a dig at you personally. I don't know you. I am having a dig at what your saying.

**davethedrummer** · 13-02-2009, 11:52 PM

anyway , there's nothing wrong with being fake

it's disgusting and has to stop.
