i am still very far away from playing live but i am interested in how it is done. I know that one is supposed to make a ready-made set before..yes or no?
how do you make your set?
how do you switch between songs in ur set..if they are your own songs..?
what program is best for playing live?
can you do a set in Fl?
thanks

best soft to me: ableton live
preparation: record different stems of your song (like Kick/bass/perc./synth/glitch/fx etc.), cut 8 bar loops, throw into ableton, adjust follow action. add synths and some more loops/shots/sounds and have fun with it
anyways, maaaany many artists out there prepare their live different and prearrange it or even dj their own stuff (even seen with cd) and call it live.... but have to say also seen some more weired things like throw in a cd and playing CS or stuff while on stage. ^^ more doin this than one would believe ....

Google Vimeo +Tom Cosm, in one of those videos on his Vimeo he goes through how he cuts up his tracks
the main jist of it is to create 5-8 new audio channels in your track, one for each stem (FX, Percussion, Kick/Bass, Lead, Atmosphere whatever) and go through your track and route all the applicable parts to each channel, then record them all so that you have stems. Now chop the stems into loops and put them into the session view
and now get a launchpad or an apc40 and trigger
and yes, Ableton is far and away the best software out there right now for live performance imo.

You could start by exporting key elements of every track, pre-mix the kicks for learning reasons and start adding elements one by one until you get a hang of it. Then you will be able to experiment and evolve throught his method.
I would recommend learning Ableton Live for this.

Channels-
1. Renoise rewired for bass-kick-stuff
2, 3. percussion loops
4. backing loops
5. sweeps/pads/atmo loops
6. 1-shot sfx
7. 1-shot vocal/warped sfx
8. 1-shot sfx effected
9. breakbeats w/ kick for like, break type stuff
10 and 15 are the 2 dj groups, 3 band EQ on the groups with 4 separate channels in each, one for my tracks, one for techy/prog tracks, one for full power tracks, one for any other tracks
20. master recording channel
21. dj groups recording channel
And the rest are the MIDI rack.
Still loading the thing up with loops and whatnot but you can get an idea of how its laid out.
Its a lot of fun to play with, pretty much nothing ever ends up sounding the same. (except the full tracks ).

how do i switch between songs?
well, just go ahead to the scene your next song starts or i like to slowly change different elements until the song is completely changed. i dont like to change the scene as it keeps the track original. maybe also mark your tracks by coloured clips. i just seperate between lighten and darken ones, so i can easily sepeperate between clips playable and clips i should better leave. for tracks i just use different colours, simple like that im used to read waveforms, but this is something anyone does pretty different. to me its enough and i just know my tracks....soo im pretty familiar with their elements and dont need more than this small view in the corner...
if follow action is programmed, one can just leave it playing anyways for sure....
hope kinda helped, otherwise feel free to have a look here:
lots of fun and pretty easy done, up to oneself how far to go on with that technique.... like it
