Where the hell is netbookjoey?! This is his time to shine.

Here are some tips from a djtechtools article I did on live vox: http://www.djtechtools.com/2010/11/21/mic-tips-for-djs/

Sup Kevin!

I just released a concept album, and have learned a lot about the process over the past two years. Keep developing your story, but don't think it has to be super-deep or complex. Just a basic idea is enough. Mine was based on a simple premise: Hong Kong: 2050 A.D. You're about to inject a dose of mi...

<< Nah, stage fright should be conquered. It is only debilitating. >> Here's a differing perspective: stage fright should be fully embraced, and can actually help you create a better show for your audience. Well...up to a point. If it's an all-consuming fear that actually detracts from your performa...

This is an awesome deal. Tarekith has mastered 3 of the tracks so far for my new album...well worth the normal price of $50. And a sweet-ass bargain at $30.

Dude stop worrying about DAW fanboys and start producing some awesome music. Looks like you've got a more-than-sufficient rig there, so no excuses.

The pitch shifty effect sounds like a whammy pedal, set to one of its less extreme settings. http://www.digitech.com/en/products/whammy-4th-gen.

The gatey effect is a tremolo, perhaps a pedal like this with a fast setting: http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetai ... ductId=139

Interesting...thanks for the tip; I never thought to try jumping back into the preferences menu. It's not as easy as a simple hot-plug, but it's a helluva lot better than going through the rest of the set without the device that got unplugged!

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

This isn't possible in XP - my current OS. As I evaluate my next performance system, this is a major issue; I've had too many gigs where something gets unplugged, rendering that controller useless unless I restart Ableton. Hot-plugging MIDI is possible on a Mac...but what about Win7?

yeah, +1 to what Tarekith said; leaving it to the soundguy is always preferable. In lieu of that - if the soundguy is too drunk/high/apathetic, or there IS not soundguy - you'll have to act as your own live sound engineer. Fortunately it's not that hard; check out this article I wrote about the proc...

No...thank you! Loving this series of racks. I've been having endless fun with your chiptune rack. Keep it up mang.

Well it's nearly five years later, but Tarekith's advice still rings true. The cool thing is that this approach is also way more conducive to actually FINISHING a track. And working with the natural dynamics of the parts and mixing them together without a shitload of EQ/compression tends to give a m...

Make (dynamic) music, not war!
