Live Techno Sets

[slavestudios]

and i'm talkin live. drumachines, big desk, synths, outboard. not some twat with a laptop

anyways, do ppl generally enjoy them ? theyre a lot of work for those involved but are they worth the hassle ?

[miromiric.]

what do you mean some twat with a laptop? are you a geekophobe?

[messyfuture]

i use an atari ;)

[messyfuture]

is that pete?

[slavestudios]

ok. maybe that was worded badly.

i mean a guy who turns up & is billed as playin 'live' then ends up just runnin Cubase & tweakin a filter here & there. not really live u know what i mean ? where as pullin loops in & out of Ableton... theres a window for error so thats a LIVE set if u know what i mean...

but my point... bringin out all that kit ? would ppl generally say 'yes' or 'no' to bookin/attending a live set ?

[/url]

[slavestudios]

yup

what ya reckon ? u dig live sets ?

im principal, regardless of how good or bad they are
(which is, of cousre down to opinion rather than fact)

[slavestudios]

my typin is woeful today

you use just an Atari live ? how ?

[messyfuture]

i did in the past
but then it got droped down the stairs in giros

i bring a fair bit of kit out with me and a laptop...... it is a pain in the ass but worth the trouble

fu ck sake hearing ur own stuff on a big rig :lol:

lovley

[slavestudios]

whats on your lappy ? do u sequence hardware with it ? big desk ?

[messyfuture]

i use sx on the laptop and just got ableton

i run wavs thru the laptop to a dj mixer....then midi stuff to my 909 which is spererated out into a mackie 1604 with fx and a filter bank.... the output then goes into the other channel on the dj mixer

:roll:

[slavestudios]

cool. nice set up. loads of tweakin on the 909

any outboard ? fx ? compression ?

[slavestudios]
