Hey guys!

I was wondering how do you perform Techno. Also how do you see what your doing with strobes, and flashing stage lights.

Assuming that by "techno" you mean dance music, there are three principle ways:

1. Getting a full band of live performers and bashing it out like any other music.

2. Lots of analogue synths. See: Chemical Brothers, Orbital.

3. Load all your pre-recorded music into something like Ableton Live and pretend you're doing something skillful.

I say your wrong, just because your making a chance for someone to call you wrong.

Ha.

Is he asking how one mixes "techno"/EDM in general? And I think the little pop up work light on the 1200s let's you see what's going on. :D

im pretty sure the lights are controlled by sound or just completely random

Haha, I laughed when I saw that...


back to the question...
If you mean you found an artist like, Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Sasha...

They are djs, they rarly perform with live instruments, they use turntables, cd players and computer to make mixes which are compolations of songs put together to tell a story or just cuz they sound good... read some stuff on those I said before, you'll get some insight...
