Sound-checking an Ableton Live duo (2 computers)
Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2018 11:03 am
Hey,
So with my friend we play Live sets in a duo fashion.
He does the synths mostly, I do the percs mostly.
We don't bounce our tracks and play them right out of Live session view, in a gigantic Live file (but this is another issue).
When we play live, we thus are not sure that we have the right output level in comparison to each other.
How would you guys check that our outputs are the same, when you don't have the luxury to hear what comes out of the PA's because it's a cheap concert with no real sound-check ?
I thought a spectrum analyzer on the master may be a solution, but I'm really a newbie when it comes to actual sound science.
