No laptop? No problem. In this workshop, we’ll show you how to build a live hardware setup that works, starting with what you already have. We’ll cover how to set up and sync your gear, keep your machines in time and in tune, and shape your sound in real time. You’ll also learn practical strategies for preparation, improvisation, and creating a live set that’s flexible, expressive, and fun to play.
We’ll share the tips and tricks we learned the hard way: from the boring-but-essential (like testing your cables) to the creative details (like making sure all your kicks bang consistently), and most importantly, not making it too complicated! Whether you're deep in the hardware rabbit hole or just starting out, this session will help you perform live with more confidence and fewer disasters (no guarantees).
