Sorry if this is off topic for this forum, but i had to ask a question to get it off my chest. Ive recently seen some new emo type bands perform live, or somewhat live. This includes the infamous Fall out Boy.
Ive played music and performed for over thirty years, so i like to check out what the band is doing musically. Last week i saw a semi pro emo type band playing, two guitars, bass and drums. In order to look cute, they all start clapping their hands over their heads. Meanwhile, the bass line that was throughout the song, kept going, as well as guitar and even a bit of a horn section. All while their hands were in the air! They are that good. Dont even have to touch their instruments.
So my question is, does anyone know what techniques are used here? Are they constantly playing along with a recording of themeselves, a mix of live and not live? Midi?
Just curious.
Its also interesting to hear vocal harmonies, when no one is near a mic, or even singing for that matter.
Any experts on this fake live out there?
Thanks
