You say you like Moog synths and the sound of a Mellotron?
Check out Isao Tomita's work from the 70s and 80s. He did a lot of versions of classical music plus some of his own compositions using a Moog modular, mellotron and other synths.
eg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B3TwSeo … re=related
My two cents.
hell yeah, i have an amazing record of his arrangement of the firebird. very, very, VERY impressive.

Re: LSDJ Live with Band (36 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
what works for me:
-monitors louder than you think they should be, earplugs in always. in-ears are also prime, but if you can't invest in them right now, this works.
-know what you're following in the track (do you pay attention to the leads? the drums? the bass?) then bring that out in the mix, whether with eq or programming
-STRONG RHYTHMIC PROGRAMMING. don't expect to be able to keep up with a track if it's too nebulous. this doesn't mean it has to be super mechanical all over the place, but this also goes back to the last point: whatever you follow, make sure that is nice and clear. everything else can be a little more loose if you can hear specifically what you're playing to.
-timing is job number 1 when you're performing, live instruments out of sync with electronics are invariably bad (at least they are when you are trying to be in sync). tuning is probably job number 2.
-and then just practice the fuck and have such a good time!!!
