andy said:they use ableton live which is what makes it sound "perect"
once all the sounds/samples/tracks are setup properly it mixes them perfectly too the bar 1/2 bar 1/4 bar. whatever you want
they're doing no different to what other "dance" acts do for there live shows today , chem brothers , groove armada, SMD and digitalism all do a similar thing with ableton and controllers or with the actual hardware in some cases(smd)
the samples and software synths etc are all set up and synced before the show so all they really need to do is use the midi controllers inside that pyramid to trigger sounds or fade stuff in and out, nothing special but nothing anyone else has managed to do so perfect either.
maybe your confused thinking they're claiming to use the hardware synths and stuff for the show , afaik they switched completley too software years ago . the last album "human after all" was made in 2 weeks with ableton ,a guitar each and a rythmn box..

as for there 1997 show , well wow thats just in a whole different league ,
they took all the studio hardware from thomas's bedoroom (reportedly so full at the time that they had to remove his bed) and put it on the stage in the clubs , they then bounced around turning dials and sliding faders for over an hour making whole new tracks "live" and possibly the best sounds ive ever heard. alive1997 is without a doubt the best cd ever made imo. its pure genious
where can i get alive1997 from
