How to perform Live!!!

Post by Kreeture » Sun Dec 09, 2012 8:32 am

Hey guys I have been looking everywhere for an answer on how to perform live? The only answer that I ask you please do not put is, find what feels right for you! That's all I have heard and I will find whats right I just need to know the basic technique! If you can help, here are my questions.
1. I use Ableton Suite 8. and I was wondering when you perform do you play the track directly from your "Ableton Live Set" file, in Ableton, or do you use some form of DJ software?
2. How do artist get there songs to flow so well in there sets, how do I get my songs to transition from one to the next without people really noticing that it is a different song at first?
3. How do I assign all of my effects that I want to use to my Trigger Fingers and MIDI Controller, during and before the performance quickly?

This would mean the world to me if you could answer and help me!!! Thanks so much guys!!!!

I'm sorry to preach but honestly though, you should do a little of your own research before asking. Its just lazy.

That being said, this video will get you started.
