Well, I consider the art of arranging as the art of the Live PA. Whether it be using traditional samplers and sequencers or a Laptop with Ableton live on it. I've done it both ways. I don't think the audience really cares as long as they like what is coming out of the speakers whether or not you use a laptop or bulky equipment.
In the past I've also played guitar onstage for years and actually feel more involved with the music when I'm messing around with Ableton Live onstage rather than rocking out with a guitar. telepathic regards, the kooky scientist on 12/19/02 2:32 PM, Jayson B. at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> Maybe techno producers who do live PAs should break down and take a couple >> keyboard lessons? >> Carl Craig played some live keys when I saw his live PA, I think it was as >> Paperclip People. > > > and i found everytime he touched the keys i got bored. the thing is, > playing full 'live' or not, when you're playing the keyboard you're also > assuring the crowd that you're *not* tweaking the bass, dropping the cymbal > line, bringing in a synth solo, or sliding up a string line an octave. > whether or not you're doing that i don't think is the point: making the > crowd think you are *is*, and when you're playing a keyboard you are > assuring them that you're not. > > _________________________________________________________________ > Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
