1. Happy New Year!
2. Ok, back to my topic
I was watching the Dick Clark New Years special tonight and was wondering if the performers were singing live or if they were lip syncing? I know the lip sync thing is extremely common these days. But does anyone have a good method of picking up on if they are actually performing or just playing against a recording?
I thought I had it with the drummer, but they don't always stick with him long enough to pick up any subtle changes in what he's doing (or she). The singers seem to have the lip sync thing down if they need it. So they can interject a "Hello Boise!" at the appropriate moment if need be.
Since I've got a pretty good set up at home, could I simply tour with a bunch of monkeys and a hard drive and pull off a top notch live act? That's assuming the monkeys don't throw poop at the audience and I can write some top notch stuff (or is it that I don't throw the poop - I'm not sure, it's New Years Eve).
