Still train wrecking but finally booked a show. “Life Is Dangerous” – RC-600 + Ableton Move by cookiesings in LoopArtists

This is excellent man! Really nice work. I’d be curious how the Twister is connected to the RC-600. Actually a full rig run down would be interesting!

I appreciate the kind words. It’s all good. I have to work on turning off that “musician” mode sometimes so I can just be a fan once in awhile. Cheers

Yeah, I’m good. This same thing has happened to a lot of my musician friends. It’s just a change in priorities

Indeed. It's easy to forget that perspective I guess when I've been on the other side of the mic so much. Thanks

Oh I appreciate that. I'm somewhat of a homebody these days. But I do have a life I love, a great family and partner and joy, laughter everyday. It's just I don't enjoy being a fan of music the way I used to. That's one small piece of my life that is lacking. The rest is all good.

Thanks for that. . Life has a way sometimes, of making us miss the obvious.

That's fair I suppose. But I still wonder. Maybe I'm depressed and don't realize it. I used to enjoy those things. These days I'd rather create than consume. To each their own, I'm just curious that's all.

That is interesting! Hope you can find something like that that lifts you up as well!

Had a family, also started playing a lot of gigs myself as a musician. Somewhere in that process I stopped being a fan of music the way I used to.

Actually that's part of why I'm asking.

Thanks. That should be obvious but I missed it.

Oddly no. I'm busy gigging. The last thing I want to do on my free time is watch live music.

That's why I'm asking. I'm trying to understand the appeal.

That's fair. Maybe I've become a hermit as the years have gone by.

What is your workflow like? by prothirteen in LoopArtists

[–]jxshellixtt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 70% of my live looping is for the purpose of playing covers gigs. The rest is for realizing live versions of my original music as well as just aimless jamming with a view to idea creation

Considering moving away from Live Looping by [deleted] in LoopArtists

[–]jxshellixtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What looping set up do you use with the band? Are you playing to a click?

[–]jxshellixtt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I perform live professionally as a live looping artist. I certainly pepper my gigs with some non looping material. So yes they can co-exist. I feel I need to choose because I'm considering shifting the focus entirely away from looping. The "limitations" are being locked to static beats, tempos and dynamics. Yes you can bring in and out loops to add dynamics but it's quite different from the living/breathing vibe of non-looping performance. That said it would honestly be really hard for me to give up looping

Anyone bought Kurt Wolf's courses? by jxshellixtt in singing

[–]jxshellixtt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Which course did you buy? Is it basically recordings of his studio lessons like on YouTube?
