I think I've got my head around the whole instances thing now - although I've accidentally posted elsewhere on a different user account to this one without realising it. I've accidentally set up three or four accounts, all with the same name, on different instances. Oops ๐ฌ. Going to try to stick to using this one now I've noticed!
Anyway, the other bit of advice was basically just "playing live should be fun or why would anyone want to do it? Keep it simple.or you'll just get stressed out and it'll be obvious". This was after he watched me jump around a set with about 90 channels for half an hour. What really clicked for me was when I worked out how to take his method of dub performance (effectively using a reel-to-reel as an instrument) and translate it to a Launchpad performance, but keep the flexibility of having each of the 90-odd channels independently tweakable without the whole thing being overwhelming.
I'll try to work out how to make a post on what I've done when I get time - hopefully it's interesting enough to warrant one!
It was packed, like. Good atmosphere, rained a bit, sunny a bit, the kids loved it, I got beer, what's not to like ๐
It's an annual thing so come down next year!
