Re: Crazy Live Setup from Deadmau5
thats funny i just got done listening to his @ play album
Re: Crazy Live Setup from Deadmau5
he seems to be talking crap most of the time though
Re: Crazy Live Setup from Deadmau5
One of the things that I do not agree is when he say that
"You cannot play Live with the same quality if you playback your productions".
I thing the most "Production" effects can be performed live...
My point is more about the $$$$ on the setup, the Live set seems not so complicated to me, it's simply Djing IMHO, the "Live" channel he says, I have doubts if he uses "Live" so much....

Re: Crazy Live Setup from Deadmau5
the sound quality deteriorates if your performing an mp3-style track live that you may have made in ableton. if you were just playing the wav or the aiff then it might not deteriorate as much, but those files can be massive. you obviously have to compensate by adding more compressors and whatnot to re-beef up your tracks (atleast I do).rsaulo wrote:One of the things that I do not agree is when he say that

deadmau5's skill with routing things into different places allows his technical sound to be so advanced which I think is his strength.
Re: Crazy Live Setup from Deadmau5
I doubt he's talking about using mp3's. Using them in any manner would be a waste of time & resources if you can afford the HD space. I think what he means is that in the studio, you have countless hours to fine tune and tweak things. Plus you are not so worried about latency. Where as live, you are leaving the option to improvise (even a filter sweep can offer new challenges to your overall sound quality). So given that you are working on the spur of the moment, you just want to have the basics at your disposal, and have them very malleable.

I dont't think he's talking about MP3, in Live all is converted to WAV no?Bright Morningstar wrote: the sound quality deteriorates if your performing an mp3-style track live that you may have made in ableton. if you were just playing the wav or the aiff then it might not deteriorate as much, but those files can be massive. you obviously have to compensate by adding more compressors and whatnot to re-beef up your tracks (atleast I do).

I agree with yur2die4, maybe some "tricks" like sidechain compressors, filtes, etc that he can use in the studio he cannot manage Live at the same time when performing, but I think this is much relative to how you make your setup.
If you see an rock band for example, never will sound live as how sounds in the studio, of course, but it's not a excuse to not play live in a show, this is my point. (of course, i don't know if the comparison is fair... )
Re: Crazy Live Setup from Deadmau5
That's right. When playing live you don't have to sound like a record.

If someone need to sound like in the studio, can hit play on iTunes and let it go....
99% of the people in a club don't care and don't know about this "quality" issues btw...., they want good music to dance and in many cases they come to see YOU, and to see you DOING something....IMHO

Re: Crazy Live Setup from Deadmau5
I don't think he was talking about the quality of the audio. Instead I think he was talking about how you can spend hours mixing and mastering your track to perfection while the live sound is less refined. That's why he started talking about how he is using a compressor, etc..
Re: Crazy Live Setup from Deadmau5
i dont see what is so crazy about his set up, seems pretty straight forward
actually i was kind of underwhelmed at his use of the lemur and monome
