Re: visuals: what do you like to see?
palmer... some vj's run a all hardware setup which usually includes atleast two dvd players and a video mixer. the content on the dvd's is pre-compiled by the vj and cut up and effected live... which is definitely the way to go. at the wmc, i saw some dope ass visuals at this party at teasers.. which was put on by sullivan room out of new york i think... he was using a setup like above but also had a laptop. the alternative is to run everything software based. there are a number of great programs out there (arkaos, resolume, etc.) however a lot of people have stability problems... usually from having clips encoded by a large assortment of different codecs... and after a while they somehow conflict and your shit just crashes... which suuucks live... hardware based is the way to go.
