live set

[LB]

hey,

thanks for the overview. It's nice to see that you're having all the loops in one livefile. Can ask some more things ?

- do you plan your liveset in upfront, and add the files accordingly to your playlist, or do you create several livefiles and import them before you go on stage [if that's even possible]. What if you created several scenes and suddenly you say: "dammit, this song should be at the end of my set" ... what do you do then ?

- do you create different scenes for different parts of the songs ? And do you trigger them by mouse or by midikeyboard ? If midi, how do you keep track of things ?

- Tempochanges: is there a special way you do this, or do you keep playing at the same tempo ?

I hope I'm not too nosey, but it's these things I will need to learn since they have asked me for some concerts this summer :/ Thanks for any more information.

i did it all at once. i knew what loops i needed for each song and then i just arranged them in sections and in the order i wanted them. if i need to change the order of the songs i can just bypass one and start another and then come back to the original one later.

- do you create different scenes for different parts of the songs ? And do you trigger them by mouse or by midikeyboard ? If midi, how do you keep track of things ? :)

yes i have 5 or 6 scenes for each song and i trigger them with the mouse.

i've just been using the same tempo throughout but i think you can slow down and speed up the tempo while you're playing as long as it isn't too drastic and you're samples start sounding funnny.

no probs! hope i've been of help to you.
