Anyone know what programs or equipment Daft Punk uses for their amazing live shows?

While I don't know for sure, I would guess that they use Ableton Live. That program has the ability to add in the loops, samples, and vocals that Daft Punk mix together during their shows. I could be wrong, but this is my best guess.

yeah thats what i'm guessing too, but i've also heard that they infact incorperate live vocals and some live synth work too.

you can do that in live too, just depending on how many ins does your audio interface have...

Daft Punk Thomas Bangalter & Ableton Live Oct 27, 2005 - by clouvel MacMusic is proud to publish this interview with Daft Punk' Thomas Bangalter, about his use of Ableton Live software. Interview, translation by our friend Patrick Wack from Ableton . Paul Clouvel - MacMusic Editor How do you use Live? Anywhere, anyhow. I use it on my laptop as a notepad for remember and experimenting musical ideas, as a personnal computer game because I have more fun with it than most videogames, and in the studio for Daft Punk projects, tracking sessions, jammings, remixes, scoring and sound design. What do you like most about Live? Live is by definition one of the most transparent and simple creative software I have ever used. Its interface is strimlined and its features, though with a minimal approach, offer endless possibilities. The whole process is easy, simple, and fun, yet with accessible possible sophistication and professional results. How did you first learn / hear about Live? I jumped on the live users bandwagon around the release of Live v2.0. "Elastic audio" were the words that got me in ! How about the new features in Live 4.0? How about the new features in Live 5.0? The Operator is one of the best soft synth, and I hate soft synth in general...also the delay adjustment in ms was very very much needed. Its getting better and better. Do you use Live in any unusual ways? One of the thing I prefer in Live are the proprietary Ableton FX plugins. They are amongst the warmest software FX. Sometimes I will import a Pro Tools track in Live just to bounce it with the FX to make it sound more warm and more crispy or dirty (I love dirt). I am not a big ReWire fan so I do it really the old school way, importing and exporting the sound files. Do you have any favorite trick or tip that you'd like to pass along? "The rule is there are no rules !" That is definitely the case for such a freedon piece of software that is Live.

well, i guess thats it then. lol

I'd say they bung a cd in there and press play

Saw them in dublin this summer. They were absolutely amazing indeed. Great Great! night, downloaded 2 of their sets and the tracklist is nearly if not identical.. Only reason why i made the comment above.

I'm sure they don't just play a cd though.

Love them..

Wouldn't surprise me, I came to the same conclusion after I saw them at Global Gathering.

I'm pretty sure they use a nice blend of ass kickery and awesomeness.

edit // Wait a tic, they don't "use" anything...they're robots, duh!

They def use some kind of conventional EFX unit. So it seems when I saw them in Miami a week ago.
