It's just especially tough when laptops are involved, because people still don't know what to make of the technology. And it's typically a place where you lose your audience. Maybe that doesn't mean you keep 120 bpm pounding away, but using it to make some kind of connection to the audience -- there's some sonic transition, or some sense you're still playing, or some banter with the audience, or a combination -- is a good idea. And it's not just the audience. I used to try to do separate set files for songs, and it totally shattered my concentration when I had to wait for files to load.<BR/><BR/>I think it's just a matter of figuring out how to apply this to your own personal music. And since it's sort of a technological problem, too, I think it's something we'll have to look at more. :)<BR/><BR/>@anonymous, since you're not the first to try to say this. Cuteness, male or female, often does NOT help -- if we're talking live music and not DJing. There's an amazing music scene that doesn't even shower.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06049687384110830999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704017.post-85540519644268263742007-05-03T20:20:00.000-06:002007-05-03T20:20:00.000-06:00Tits always helpTits always helpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
