Last Minute Performance Tips

1. Turn Off (close) every application except Ableton so CPU doesn't chug; turn off Wi-fi
2. If you're having problems mashups, pre-record them so you don't worry about it
3. You will make mistakes so don't worry about it (no one will notice anyway)
4. If you miss a cue, then just wait until the next phrase, don't rush
5. Don't have high expectations of crowd energy, you will be disappointed
6. We will have cue audio available for monitoring
7. Intro is more important than outro. Outro doesn't really matter
8. If you're manipulating master tempo, put limits on the range so you don't go berzerk by mistake
9. Put a limiter on the output
10. If you use autofilter - if you activate a clip, know where your filter is.
