Right... question :
When playing live we always play with clicktrack / backingtrack. Very simple, a stereo track on an I-Pod, Left is the track for drumboy, Right goes to the front PA. Perfect.
Now, since I am the singer / guitarman of the band, a lot of times I find myself in "difficult" positions, for instance : Singing a line while playing a fridliandoodely 37th chord, this while standing on the tip of my right foot toe because I have to see what button I have to push with my left foot that is hovering over the footcontroller to get to the ultrasolodistortiontappingpatch... it's all about balance... point is : I got tired of that...
So...
I made a MIDI track that switches all my FX perfectly in sync with the backing audio. Works like a charm.
Only problem is we now have a PC to take on stage and those things are likely to crash on you mid gig.
So is there something like a device out there (preferably rack mount) that can playback audiotrax (let's say 8 is enough) AND that has MIDI channels you can program and send out?
I know the perfect thing for that is called "MAC" but no, that's not an option now $$$
Anyone out here that has some advice?
