most live acts resume to some tweaking in the filter frequency. it´s the way things work. noone plays melodies in live acts, it´s insane and almost impossible, only if the melody is really simple like 1 or 2 notes.

Speak for yourself mate!

Obviously, not everyone who writes trance can actually play a musical instrument - so are the people who demand musicianship in their live acts saying that artists without traditional music skills should forget about presenting their tracks in a live setting?

I might be completely wrong here, but I think a lot of artists make music on computer *only*. They don't know how to use much of the equipment you see being used in OOOD's set. So, it's hardly surprising that many artists can only play live with a laptop.

I don't see anything wrong with that. People just need to know what to expect from each artist, and artists and promoters shouldnt mislead people into thinking they will see something that they won't.

U can also do live with just a computer, maybe a midikeyboard, but it doesn't look as good as four people playing 'real' instruments

In about 2001 I played in Belgium at a party where Toi Doi was playing. He bought his own PC - not a laptop, but the full desktop machine - and did the whole set off Ableton Live (version 1, at the time). It was the first time I'd seen that software, although I'd heard of it, and I didn't really know what was going on with it but I know he had a LOT of samples loaded up. The set was pretty damn live, I think, with totally improvised arrangements and effects.

Afterwards I heard a lot of people saying that they were disappointed because they thought all he'd done was to press play, even though they'd just heard one of the most live sets ever. You can't win, it seems... but it was this that made me realise that a vital part of any live act is the 'show' element - the dancefloor needs to see that something is happening, and they need to see a direct correlation between the action on stage and the sounds coming out of the speakers.

And that takes me to my opinion about parties and "liveacts".

personlly I think that parties should avoid livemusic and go for Dj's. Most liveacts I have seen at parties break the flow and what happens time after time is that many people stand and watch instead of dancing. And we can all agree that dancing is the main point why we make parties

I believe "liveacts" fit much better at festivals where it's more like an concert than a party (journey).

I don't understand what HandA means...is keyboards not possible to play melodies in real time with, or is it when they are connected to a computer that it automatically means you can only "press one key on the keyboard".
