How Depeche Mode rocks sweet beats on stage
Saturday, Sep 26, 2009 6:51PM / Standard Entry / Members only

Wow, Depeche Mode is still rocking stages after all these years. Hear the kings of new wave rocked at Lollapalooza this time around.

Great video over at Ableton about how Depeche Mode's drum sound is created on a stage in front of 30,000 screaming fans. Here's the video link here

I've been using Ableton Live on stages for the last few years too. Its a really fun musical instrument for me.

Seeing this video I found it interesting to see how Depeche Mode to split up and apply effects to their drums. Is anyone else out there on Alive not dead using Ableton Live on stage or in the studio? How do you use it?
