What is live instrumentation?

Live instrumentation refers to the use of real instruments and musicians in the recording or performance of music, as opposed to synthesized or computer-generated sounds. Live instrumentation can include a wide range of instruments such as drums, bass guitar, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, strings, brass, woodwinds, and more. The use of live instrumentation can add a unique authenticity and depth to music, as each instrument has its own character and tone that cannot be replicated by digital means. Live instrumentation can also allow for greater improvisation and creativity in the recording and performance process, as musicians can respond to each other's playing and create unique moments in real-time.
