i totally agree here. the other night i went to see a certain artist
hoping to see a really good show, don't get me wrong the music was good,
but i was just a little dissapointed by the methods he used to perform
live. It was pretty much him set up with some sort of portable studio and
everything was kinda bussed out to other mixers. he had a laptop and
there were some synths he brought which the artist before him used a
little. At first i was like ok, (judging from the ableton sticker on the
laptop) he's using some audio sequencing program as well as a midi
sequencer for the synths. neither. the laptop had loaded a bunch of
one-shot samples, i was totally pissed, although the music was good, but i
could have done it at home with his album and a large pair of speakers.
