Module 1 Lesson 2 Takeaways
Ready checklist:
- Making sure I know the set from top to bottom
- Making sure my gear is on and working properly ( keys, bass, keybass, Ableton live, etc. )
- Making sure I know all the transitions, licks, playing the record
- I always will have a backup plan in case of anything and I always know how to use any part of my rig to help me incase of any situation
- Being calm in the moment and knowing how. to resolve the problem in a timely manner
- Being professional even when things are going wrong
Backup Plan :
- Backup MIDI keyboards (49 & 61+ keys) ready to plug in if my main boards fails ( Keys, KeyBass and Aux )
- Backup patches pre-loaded on laptop (pianos, pads, EPs, leads, keybass, orch hits etc.)
- Extra sustain pedals & cables in bag
- Stems saved on USB drives and phone
- Printed or screenshot setlist + keys + arrangements
- Secondary laptop setup for emergency playback situations
- Second power strip / extension cord nearby
- Duplicate Ableton session saved in a separate backup folder
Preparation Habits :
- Review set the night before
- Test keyboard, interface, Ableton routing & click/cues
- Charge laptops before departing
- Communication with my team
- Warming up my hands and my body + mentally rehearse transitions, licks and anything else I need to lock-in with for the show
- Praying to God and mentally preparing myself before going on stage, also locking within myself and being READY to go
