MarioD,

.... If possible, I would like to assign the bass track to one output, the drum track to a second output, and the remaining outputs for the additional instrument tracks. My hope would be that for live sound each output would then go to its own input on the mixer, thereby making them individually balanceable. I could do this already if I only had to worry about the bass and drums, I could just pan them left and right and accomplish the same thing, but that leaves me without any way to deal with any additional tracks. One of the reasons to do this is that I found a large difference when I created the backing track and played it back through my powered studio monitors. Even though it was balanced on the monitors, when I played back through the PA system the bass was overwhelming and the drums needed to come up in the mix. I am finding it is somewhat difficult to ensure consistent levels from song to song.

PS. I utilized the juke box feature in RealBand and it worked well.

Thanks

Darren



Multiple channels out of you PC to the mixing board, would require some serious hardware in the form of a control panel. I have had the same problem with balanced sound for live gigs. You have a guy sitting at a board for your live gigs - well you are beyond me on that. All playing, mixing and sound done by me, myself and I. I keep the laptop infront of me and tweak on the fly - admittedly not the best situration. expecially when taht horn RT kicks in way too loud for the mix.

In my case I travel with my own PA, so I set up BIAB all mixed through the PA before I go to the gig. Taht way the sound is set for the PA system and not my desktop monitors. Also I have found that if I use the RCA jack Tape-inputs to the PA instead of the individual 1/4 jack channels the mix in the PA is more similar to the monitors.

good luck
