Live Performance
I'm a drummer.
I want to create loops while I'm performing live. I'm not sure I even know all the applicable tools available. Here's the gear I have to work with: My ibook G4 (933mhz 640mb) An external audio drive. A digi 002 rack (pt 6.4) Basic drum microphones. A small PA system. These are the 2 things I'm considering: 1. A phrase sampler in the form of a guitar pedal. 2. Using the ibook--I've heard and read about the power of ableton live--but I've never used it. I'm scared of using the computer during live performance--I'm afraid it would crash. I'm really looking forward to collecting some opinions. Thanks for taking a sec to read my post. |

Re: Live Performance
i play live shows all the time using sequenced drumbeats i made in reason or programed from my own sequencers along with pre recorded sytnhts. i play guitar with them live, have a singer and a bass player. you can use a g4 and get native instruments kontakt 2 and load all your songs indvidually then trigger them via midi assigning each track to a seperate key on the keyboard or a foot switch. kontakt 2 is used bu tons of professionals for this. unfortunaetly i don't have a laptop to do this with so i actually import all my songs drumsbeats from my digi002 to an ipod set to wav. at 48000khz 16 bit. i played a kick ass show last night for the 5 the time using it and it works awesome. the screen works as my own little back lit set list on stage.

Re: Live Performance
yep, the Ipod would work well loading in the tracks, or you could also get a sequencer with some drum triggers if you are using an acoustic kit currently and program your loops on your sequencer and use the triggers just as effectively.
