Advice needed with live electronic set/setup

Put everything in place using two-sided tape and strips of velcro.

It should be ok.. haven't detached anything yet because the glue is drying. It handled a short haul from upstairs to downstairs well and all the pieces of gear were intact tightly.

I used 100mm pieces (in all four corners) for the synth and 50mm pieces for the rest, imo it didn't make a difference.. for the synth that could be too much and it doesn't come off without tools. I'll report later, my hypothesis is that the two-sided tape is the weak link.

I'm still on a sick leave so no gigs for this or the next month.

The velcro&double-sided tape held well apart from a couple of them.. all in all I'm satisfied with the project.

No glue residue on the gear.. I don't know whether contact glueing the velcro lowers the (possible) resale value of the gear, if I were to buy an all-in-one setup the case probably adds to it.

EDIT : if it was to see use every weekend I'd definitely glue the velcro.. for a couple of shows the double-sided tape should do

Ha! Got a used HP Elitebook for cheap, acquired my old Ableton license and now smashing it with Akai APC40.

Too bad I haven't got a roadcase for them, only soft bags.

The hardware thing is more hands on, but I missed Ableton so much. The set I'm working on is very similar to the dawless one but is more loop-based.

Hopefully I'll land a gig. I used to do Ableton sets at high school/private parties and once in a rave, mad fun.

Believe it or not but..

I landed a gig!

The gig went well.. about 20-30 people showed up (edit : the venue has a capacity of 100 or so)

I played close to an hour set with Ableton Live. The setlist was:

Donna Summer - I feel love
Alice Deejay - Better off alone
Sabrina - Boys
-
Miko Mission - How old are you
The Prodigy - Voodoo People
Baby Alice - Pina Colada Boy
Murray Head/Vinylshakerz - One night in Bangkok
Village People - YMCA
Los del Rio - Macarena
Donna Summer - Hot Stuff
-
Martin Garrix - Animals
Korida - Pacman
Timo Juuti & Hector 87 - Cheap bad moves
Darude - Sandstorm
Fedde Le Grand - Put your hands up for Detroit
Anika - Japanese Boy
-
ATB - 9pm
Benny Benassi - Satisfaction
-
Roxette - Listen to your heart
Disco Enrique - Temptation
Brian Ice - Walking away

These were just loops of the songs main melody etc, all arranged in the style of house/EDM (with a bit of 303-y sounds)
