Boom Festival / Portugal / 16th August 2008

Learn - Workshop

It will be along the same lines as the ones just done in London and Amsterdam, focusing on moving from the studio to live laptop performance.

Here's the spiel.

The workshop will be aimed towards producers/DJs who are interested in moving out of the studio and into live performance, or wish to find out easy ways to make their existing set more lively. Topics include

the benefits of playing a real Live set
manipulating your music in real time
how to convert your existing tunes into a "Live ready" set and a real-time example of how easy it can actually be to make the transition using my personally developed techniques and software macros (which will be provided for free)
- Routing your finished track to the master via specific sub groups (Bass, Percussion, Synths etc)
- Resampling or rendering your tune using these subgroups to create a layered final render
- Chopping the rendered layers easily into clips ready to import into session view
- Mastering follow actions to ensure your new live set has a strong safety net providing more room for improvisation
- Cutting down CPU and number of unessasary clips by using native Ableton effects and send channels
- More super geeky shi

I really encourage anyone to come down who has any interest in electronic music, I'm going to get right into the guts of Ableton, but my main point is to show a new, fast and safe way of getting your tunes live ready.

The workshop will be at 6:15pm on Saturday the 16th in the Luminal Village, they are decking the usual workshop space with technology for this one (so I am told!) including multiple flat screens around the building... if you can handle geeking it in the heat do come and say hi!.
