so, I’ve been focusing a lot on dawless production tips and techniques on this channel, but one thing I feel like I overlooked, is the LIVE aspect of it all. after all, that should be a huge factor in deciding what machine to spend your hard earned money on.
let’s be honest: computers destroy any groovebox in terms of power and versatility. the reason we go dawless it’s because it’s more fun. and part of that fun is performing. so today I thought I’d talk about a combo that I personally find particularly fun, and that will allow you to perform FULL sets.
in this tutorial, I'll show you how to connect and set up the roland SP-404MKII and Korg Volca Sample in a way that is ideal for live performances. there are actually TWO ways to perform live with this setup, one using pattern mode, the other using DJ mode. they both offer advantages and drawbacks, but one maybe more than the other...
