Tiesto's live acts are probably the most important in our time. He is truly a great. A living virtuoso of electronic. A powerhouse of the modern era. He knows how to add more analogue to his beats. The amount of analogue he uses makes my heart stop.

Look at this genius: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb4DWBpFmWo

Many errors there...

Tiesto's sound engineers are probably the most important in our time. they are truly a great. Living virtuoso of electronic. They are the powerhouse of the modern era. Tiesto doesn't, but his engineers do know how to add more analogue to his beats. The amount of analogue they use makes my heart stop.

Apart from those errors Tiesto is not a really live act. Mostly just a dj. really late edit: Allthough he does have some live elements in his shows with guest singers etc.

Guisseppe Ottianni isn't a live act. Just pretends to be one.

That bashing on the keys at around 13:30 looks pretty convincing in the J.Gielen vid

I don't perform, but I think playing stuff live sounds better than programming it to play. Especially if you've been stuffing around with the velocity. (filter ammount and such) Though, you have to be very good at it to make it sound good. And if you're going to perform a trance track 100% live, you'd need a lot of guys to play all the instruments. Well, that depends on how many instruments there are in the track.

But I'm all for live. It's always been my cup of tea. I wish more artist could play live.

Here's some quick shit I did.

Off course, the bass and such isn't live. But the leads are.

In "Synaesthesia 2004" the JP thing in the background is live. The lead is live, the.. "alarm lead" thing at the start is live. :P

In Virus test2 stabs which you can barely hear is live.

It's all so horrible and off. x] It's fun, though. And I guess I could become better by doing some practice.

Ok, we just know that is possible make true Live Acts with synths, vocals and much more... I really consider that the problem is the money to spend and/or the knowledge... We need to know the right scheme! Must be like a studio on PA or you will lose the dynamics! Right? So how to eq, compress, ad fx and mastering all the sound that comes from the equipments in real time?

For vocals (if wanted) now the TC Electronics released a machine that fix all the live vocals issues with studio precision.
look: http://www.tc-helicon.com/VoiceLive

But the rest of instruments (synths)?
And the mastering?
Maybe a pro fx mixer only?
Or need more hardware audio processors in he end of line?

Look at this Nu-NRG video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n12eaBqSkFg

The guy on Supernova 2 is really playing the pad or just faking it? If yes (is perfectly possible,) how to make that compression live? Seems to be sidechain, look that the pad deep compression start before the kick goes on..

Any idea of a mixer? audio processors? Maybe a mixer with fx.. We need to start a new level of discussion here, cause we just know that is possible make live things.. Any idea of a cheap scheme will be apreciated.

sorry my poor english..

Use a synced volume LFO.

haha that NU NRG video rox, it dosnt sound live though because when the next track comes in it just sounds beat matched like any other set, but then if it isnt live it would make what they are doing on stage really stupid lol.

I'de love someone to prove me wrong though because I think all trance should be made live, it would be that much more amazing.

Well that's because the pc's running some loops on ableton are synced, he could switch from the left to the right pc like a dj. Using eq and the volume faders on a small mixing panel, on top of that he had individual instruments which he could play live & control live . I was there when he had his live show in the Netherlands, I performed on the same party .
