Rick's technique

it's the same with the mixer strips, mixing engineers use gaffa tape and scribble down which channels holds which inputs (i.e. guitar 1, bass, lead vocal etc.)

the nord lead 2 produces the main loop sound from at least You Do Scribble and Rowla. it's also used on the bleeping loop in the middle of cowgirl. Rick also uses it as an input keyboard to the vocoder on BoyBoyBoy and Airtowel (and TMO, if things go wrong with Karl's guitar - that happened in Hamburg this year).

That's exactly what he's doing. He also uses the Nord to play the lead synth in Beautiful Burnout and occasionally uses the vocoder over top of Cowgirl. Being the audiophile/gear nerd that I am, I really wish they would show more of Rick during the live video streams. The feed from Tokyo was nice with the one or two boxes on him the whole time, but I'd love to just watch he and Darren for a whole show.

It'd be brilliant if Underworld filmed an in-studio, step-by-step walkthrough of the performance of a song, something standard like Nuxx or Cowgirl.

Yeah it would be nice to have some video from the Underworld sound "kitchen", for me as visitor is Underworld live performance pure magic...
