Wow! Your still with me! I was thinking: Bob's going to give up on me.
I don't have anything yet. All I have is my Sony VAIO E Series Lap Top computer with BB loaded onto it, which I bought because somebody told me that BB works really good on it which it does. Thats it. I have my amp which I've described, my accoustic guitar with it's Fishman pick-up, and a live singing mic. I need a sound module with an onboard audio player, the interfaces and connectors needed to hook eveything together from the lap top right on through to the amp. I need a recording mic for my voice, but I have my search for that narrowed down. My plan is to record my voice in BB, harmonize it, mute the recorded voice, keep the harmony, sing & play along with it & the rest of the music the sinth is producing from BB in my lap top. As I said before, I plan to start out simple, with just a few midi sounds & work from there getting the mix right in an enviroment like you recommended. At some point, after being comfortable what I'm doing, I will want to introduce some RT into my songs & render some songs to MP3 or some other audio, so I want whatever sinth or sound module I get to have the audio player in it you said I would need.
Just looking to keep those little old ladies at the nursing home happy.
