It's just not possible with the kind of music he makes. It'd be like Alex Gaskarth trying to play 4 instruments at once while singing.

Nice comeback. Your empirical evidence and reasoned arguments really changed my mind. I have seen the error o my ways thanks to your mature and well thought out reply.

dude, you couldn't make a 15 second dubstep soundbite. you literally have no fucking idea what you are talking about.

It'd be the equivalent of a band tracking every instrument and voice and just pretending to play, something that tends to piss people off when it does happen.

Electronica artists recreate their songs on stage, too. It's not just a 2-track that they press play on. Stems and tracks are triggered via MIDI controllers (like the Novation Launchpad in that Madeon video), and are sent to appropriate FX busses when the time is right. Doing this wrong would be the equivalent of a guitarist starting the chorus half a bar too late and throwing the song. Electronic artists "remake" their songs on stage in the sense that they play the right parts at the right time. It's not physically impossible, but it is basically just pushing buttons. Then again, drumming is just hitting things, so it's pointless to trivialize the instruments used for a live show, whether it be an acoustic instrument or a less conventional electronic one.

I'm not saying originally making them isn't as difficult as any other form of recording, I'm saying that the life performance does not consist of him hammering away at his MacBook remaking the tracks like a band does when they play their songs live.

This fucking thread. Can we have a separate page for electronic news posts that requires an IQ above 100 to view?

YES WE SHOULD PROTEST THE WORLD! Jesus, dude, get your head out of your ass.

Frank Sinatra only performed, man. His backing big band did all the work. He was overpaid, man.

First I'd like to thank you for actually taking the time to explain this out instead of insulting me in all caps like a 4 year old.

Second maybe I'm wrong then, this is not how it was explained to me by a friend who makes dubstep which is the extent of my understanding of their live perform.
Basically I was told that everything was already tracked up and automatically began at its set time.

That's because your friend probably sucks at dubstep like all the burnouts from my high school that play it now.

And I'm not 4; I'm 14.

Pretty sure Sonny puts on more of a live performance than a lot of bands. See: Between The Buried and Me.

Has always made unlistenable music. Now he's getting rich doing it.

I liked Dear Diary back in the day. Would never listen to it now though.
