I'm not a fruityloops hacker -- I can see where it would be cool but I've got my plate full with other methods. I have watched Tony Rohr work fruityloops to excellent effect, and his setup is much simpler than what you're contemplating.
Tony sets up a fruityloops song with something like 75-80 rows. Some rows are individual drum hits that he's pre-sequenced, and some trigger longer oneshot samples or loops. He has 3 or 4 patterns defined, basically a main pattern and turnaround patterns he can flip to. So his whole set is muting and unmuting rows and tweaking effects. And it turns out to be very effective. What you're talking about is much more complicated, and you're going to run into sync problems when you're mixing between songs. Ultimately if you can solve the sync problems, and you computer can handle 2 instances of fruitloops without glitching, this would actually be a very effective way to do a live set. As for whether the set could hold someone's attention, I think that's more up to the quality of your tracks than the means they're presented. If it's crowd reaction you're talking about, setting up long breakdowns and pumping your fist in the air when the kick comes in seems to work pretty well, even if it's a cheap trick. The true heads aren't swayed by cheap theatrics, but then they'll be with you if the tracks are tight, even if all you do is hide under a table and tweak knobs. kent williams -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cornwarning.com -- Iowa's First Techno Record Label http://www.mp3.com/chaircrusher -- tunes On Thu, 25 Jan 2001, Dr. Robot wrote: > hey guys. > > got some personal opinion questions for all of you. i am currantly putting > together a live show and heres the deal on that. i am piecing some instances > in fruity. around 30 fruity loop songs all worked out with real time > effect-ability. now, what i plan on doing is mixing between two instances of > fruity loops such as a dj would records. i open up two fruity loop programs > and run each ones sound to a diffrent sound card. from each sound card i run > a line to a mixer channel. now in doing so it allows me to play one song, > and get another one ready in the next instance of fruity, all while fiddling > knobs on a phat boy designated to the currant instance. i am currious if > anyone has seen or has done this before. and those of you who just attend > shows rather than create them, does this sound like somthing you could keep > interest in (if the music was of your tastes). any feedback would be > appreciated. > > thanks, > mike > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
