Cinos Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I dont care if people use software synths and play them live via a midi or usb keaboard or if they use hardware synths.. it's the same thing.....IT's LIVE But to turn a knob and twiddle on your freq. knob on your latest virus B is NOT to play live! 243570[/snapback] In my opinion it is. As long as you're altering the music in some way, real-time, then it's live enough to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not matter if you "alter" the sounds it's still pre-recorded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone can do that but no many can actually play a instrument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's call it half-live then, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's call it half-live then, eh? 243672[/snapback] I can go as long as calling it 1/4 live But my point was that 99.9% of all "livesets" are bogus in our scene.. They dont even twist knobs.. They put on CD's and play big Rock stars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just ignore it - you probably don't listen to any artists that don't play "live live" anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell him it's fake and that he should pay back the money he got for playing live. I can give you endless examples of artists asking for this and that equipment and then when they arrive to the party they put aCD on and pretend they use the equipment. Those "artists" would never get their full payment from me if I was organising the party. And what does it got to do with me listening to music "live" or not? I admit I any day would rather go and see a concert with a band that know how to play live than listening to someone putting their CD in a slot. Basically I dont think "live" fit a party anyway. In my opinion it break the flow and have nothing much to do with the word "trance".. simple because it require a flow to get into a stage of trance.. A good can create the right flow by creating a journey. Most band can't simply because many people tend to stand and watch them play "live" festivals are god for "live". Parties are better without. In my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone can do that but no many can actually play a instrument 243667[/snapback] it's just adjusting something that's pre-programmed.. and still, machines generates sound in realtime, the impulse coming from oscillators, its buzzing etc while machine is running, but i guess i kinda understood what u mean, u where talking more about playing keyboard? anyway, as long as you have 100% controll over the sound and tweak somethin in realtime and can change its way of sound for 180 degrees, im ok with that, cause its never possible to play everything live, but its worth to try . and yes - cd players suck, but thats another story ..!
