Live Music Or A DJ? What Is Best?

Article by archel Beckwith

You are thinking of throwing a party for the special occasion that is coming up and you want it to be the best of this season. What will you do differently that will take your party from a mere good to fantastic?

But don’t you think you are forgetting something? What about the music? The best way to make your party the talk of the town is to hire a live music band and not just a DJ churning pre-recorded numbers.

The best way to make your guests jive till the wee hours of the night is by hiring a live party band.

Live music is that only aspect which can make a party a huge hit, an unforgettable one for the guests.

Be it your birthday or your wedding, your promotion or your childbirth, hiring a live music band will always work wonders for your party and turn it into a huge success.

If you have a specific function like a wedding or a birthday there are professional bands which specialize in these events. These are called function bands.

Apart from these, one can also hire genre based bands, decade bands, or tribute bands where the music belongs to a particular genre, a specific decade or a legendary musician or group respectively.

Parties differ from one another according to tastes. But the quality of the party depends on the creativity of it. If you want to make your party different from others, make it a real creative one.

You can have themes, arrange for the decorations to be in accordance to the theme, ask your guests to dress up to the theme and most importantly hire a live band to provide the appropriate music.

Always hire the music band keeping in mind the theme of your party. For example if the theme of your party is Latino, then you have to hire a band that is good with Latino numbers. Thus, you will have Mexican d?cor and a sumptuous Mexican spread, dancing to the tunes of Shakira, Ricky Martin or Carlos Santana.

The guests with Mexican hats on devouring Mexican food will slowly but surely move towards the dance floor and your party will be a sure fire success.

Instead of a themed party, say you are having a reunion. What kind of a music band would you go for? The answer is that you should hire a live band which will create the nostalgic mood for you as well as make your guests and old friends have a great time.

Thus, in this case you go for a decade band or a tribute band that’ll play popular numbers from your school day eras or pick out hits of your favourite legendary musician or music group.

Sourcing the right band for your party can be done via either of the various sources available. The most common would be the internet or local yellow pages.

Alternatively, you could also go by the safer and more reliable way of asking your friends and relatives for references of bands that they have seen performing.

You should be able to find the right band for yourself by checking out fan reviews, official fan pages or video clippings of performances online. Alternatively hand over the entire responsibility to your local event management company.

You can call the bands up and then listen to their suggestions, what they feel or what they can do or what they cannot do.

If your music band can reciprocate the feelings of the audience or keep up the spirits of the party, then your party is a hit. If this element is not there, then your party becomes like all other parties, and nothing special.

One last thing you should do is to check whether your venue has proper license or not. It may be the case that in the last minute you come to know that the venue does not have the required permission to host a live band and it spoils all your plans for the party.

Lastly, double check once more to see whether everything is going according to plan. Thereafter just relax and enjoy your party and watch it become the talk of the town for this season.

Live Music question by Swaminathan V: PA System to PC: How to record a live music session?
I am trying to record our live devotional music sessions each week using Audacity on a PC laptop. Our setup is pretty simple: we use a Behringer Xenyx 2442FX, 4 vocal mics (2 are used for instruments like harmonium and tabla), and 2 speakers.

I’m not quite sure how to connect my laptop to the mixer, and then use Audacity to record the live session. Could you please help me with this?

Live Music best answer:

Answer by buddy!!!
there will be a red and a white output channel. take a red and a white cord and plug it into the output channel. then with the free end you must buy an adaptor (some come with computer speakers) that has female input for the red and the white and a female for an auxilary cord (almost like a head phone cord exept both ends are plugs) take an auxilary audio cord and plug it into the mic jack on your laptop then plug the other end into the adaptor. in the end youll have 2 cords running sound out of your mixer into an adaptor then through a auxilary audio cord into the microphone jack on your computer.
hope that helps!
