This is a bad thing for both the audience and the artist himself/herself. One of the bad things of computer production, is that the artists forgot to play their instruments, really expressing themselves. The truth: sky's the limit :)Įven though we talked a lot about production gear, the initial aim of this blog is the "Live-act". Even the main daw with the plug-ins, the laptop and the soundcard can be exchanged for a workstation(like MV8800 for example). Realtime hardware effects can be added and tweaked realtime, as nothing compares with physical hands-on control. Also one hardware synth can be desktop(rack) module, so you can eventually control it from another controller. For example, you can have two synths instead of one, or you can add a hardware sampler in also you can have dedicated controllers for the main DAW, but also you can have controllers for certain virtual synths or effects racks. Of course this is just a basic set-up that you can build on. Another good idea whould be to make the working template, the live template and vice-versa ) Now you should be set-up to go! :) Also it would help to create a template in which to work. Test the set-up and set the latency to zero using the settings of the soundcard and also the delay compensation feature. Root everything in the DAW, like the soundcard, the synth, the surfaces for control. Turn on everything starting with the place where sound starts and ending up where it comes out (when turning off proceed backwards). Install the virtual synths, samplers and effects plug-ins. INSTALL then the main DAW software on the laptop (i.e. connect audio cables(2mono)from the outs on the soundcard to the master mixer(or to monitors for the studio) connect the controllers with the laptop using usb cables connect the midi cables(2) midi out from synth to midi in on the soundcard and vice-versa ![]() ![]() connect the audio cables(2mono)from synth's outs to ins on the soundcard the cables :) (1/4"TRS cables, RCA cables, MIDI cables, USB cables) the Laptop, Controllers, Soundcard, the software DAW(with vst and effect plug-ins)
