Today we introduce a new series called “Behind the Scenes”, which takes a inside look at the technology top DJs rely on during their sold out shows around the world. In this episode, we have a nexclusive video from Joachim Garraud, the French producer and DJ who works with top names like David Guetta, David Bowie and many more. Joachim has been embarking on a killer “Invasion” tour and really pumping up audiences with a totally unique Serato video set that includes custom animation sequences timed to his live keytar performance. Continue reading for a full video on the technology behind his sets and a look at the tour itself.
THE TOUR
THE TECHNOLOGY
In conclusion, the key components to the show are:
- custom animation sequences timed to custom music edits for a totally unique show
- sequenced musical notes with associated video midi-mapped to a keytar through Serato
- Custom Quartz composer compositions loaded directly into Scratch live as a video source
- QC allows use of the I-sight cam in Serato scratch live
- QC also allows use of more advanced midi-connections in Serato scratch live
- The Keytar used is a vintage Roland from Ebay (no longer in production)
