How does music artists after composing the music play the musical instruments?

[mitcharller]

Though the music artists invent aesthetically the music (designing and composition), do they themselves play the instruments or instrument players play the music according to the artist's composition? And suppose if the hired instrument player creates a better version of the artist's original composition does the hired instrument player given the credit as well.

i had to read the thread title 3 times to figure out that i don't know the answer.

I was watching symphonic Paul Van Dyk and noticed that the musicians were working much more fervently than Paul.

If you mean electronic music, the producer programs the shit, records it, maybe gets it mastered, burns or presses it and then they mostly just stand next to the CD Player or Turntable and act like they are doing something hard while it plays for the crowd. Or in the case of Live PA, they may trigger some looped pieces of the song which have been pre-sequenced and apply effects to taste. Rarely, in electronic Music, is there any real performance on actual musical instruments, and the few people who do play any real instruments competently are touted as geniuses in the industry.

what's funny is that it was easier for me to learn guitar, clarinet, and the beginning of scottish highlands bagpipes that it was for me to work cubase.

for live shows i like to just play basslines and leads on a keyboard or two and let the drums and fx be played by a sequencer, the most relaible band ever haha

hell yeah, most drummers in bands are FLAKEY, that's why they get replaced so often. during the late 70's and 80's the Misfits never had a picture taken with a drummer because they never had the same one for long

Kind of smacked of Spambot.

I guess it all depends on how much the live PA artist relies on a sequencer or not, how many synths, samplers, and effects he needs control of, and with too many toys, he might need another synth musician to help him out. Kind of like Uberzone needing a electronic drummer while he fiddled with his synths...

Not too sure how most crowds feel about a producer bringing their laptop to play live, but I think that's where things are headed. But it'd be a bit boring if all it really is the artist playing a midi file and twisting/tweeking the sounds where it needs it, while the DAW does it's thing...At least some of it should be on the fly when possible.

Most of the time it is Ableton in the non linear mode these days, so there is some on the fly arranging, but the patterns are already set to run with each other and the player rarely creates any new note information on the fly. Mainly just knobs and sliders.

I used to run a Live PA with all hardware synths, but it was a pain in the ass to set up, and really does not have the mastered glossy sound that a prearranged computer set can project.
