RE: Live techniques?
"does anyone have any interesting/original ways of keeping the audience amused besides the wall to wall screens chemi/underworld style"
how about making the music as tight as it can be? Personally that would satisfy ME plenty
Pongoid..dammit..that armchair warrior shit just pisses me off. Partly because it hits me right in the gut..and for two reasons..ONE...I know youre right in a way. its not THAT hard to get up and do it, but ALSO because I just havent found my route to doing it yet, and...it bums me out.
its cool to hear about you guys workin this shit. Ever since I started doing this (hell, pongoid remembers
) I have wanted to go out live..and...being surrounded by folks who are always talking about "production"...it is very difficult for me to fathom being able to still sound good live. the PAs I have heard are usually WAY quieter than DJ sets...I think maybe the sound guy is worried about peaks?
SO...was wondering..is running a main buss compressor a good idea then? Maybe a limiter too? So you can say...'look...dont worry about your system...I have it covered'? is that legit? I have an RNC that I thought would work well, but thats not a full peak stop...so...
also...my plan of attack will be to have every bit sounding as good as it can comin OFF of recordings...so I take little bits and pieces and sorta just see what happens...live remix style I guess? but I figure if I get everything sounding as tight as it can individually then it will be solid when put together
one thing to learn from this. OVERTHINKING shit just doesnt get you anywhere. Without hands on experience its just spinnin tires
