I've always wondered about this, all the musicians that perform with laptops these days, how often are there software problems and crashes? Also, when musicians are performing live with laptops, what are they doing exactly? As in, what software are they using and are they actually, like, cutting and pasting sound files and opening and closing windows and so forth in real time? I can't imagine looking at a computer monitor and manipulating a touch pad with 1,000 people staring at me. Seems like a nerve-racking way to perform...Thanks to anyone for some info. on this, I've always been very curious about the particulars of laptop performance. - Mark I caught the amherst show last night. Definately, a show to check out if the tour is coming to your town. Stewart Walker really knows how to rock the house....he did a set of seemless four on the floor techno. The only bad thing about the show was that Kit Clayton's laptop crashed after he spent 15 minutes building up a dub groove.....that and only about 30 people showed up :( --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
