I've got a solo Blues / vocal gig in The Howard Arms, Brampton, Cumbria,UK on Friday 25th April at 20:00 BST. 6 of the songs are original and have backing tracks made using RealBand. I'm nervous but excited at the same time. Cheers Mike. www.blues-house.com

Happy for your new Gig.
Not easy work, but satisfying.
Good luck for many more.

Thanks Pat and Danny.
It went really well, in fact just as I was packing up, a second crowd came in and said they wanted to hear it too so the Landlord asked if I'd do the set again. I was happy to oblige, so two gigs in one night ... I enjoyed it immensely.
StreetJelly is great isn't it Danny, I saw it mentioned on here in the shoutbox and that's how I got to hear about it. I'll look out for you.
Cheers.
Mike.

Guitar/amp/PA, like that. Inquiring minds want to know. Ain't BIAB the greatest tool for backing tracks ever?

Hi 90DB.
Yes BIAB / RB are tremendous tools.
Very versatile if you experiment with them. I've got some nice tracks out of them.
The PA is a Pulse audio 2 x 150wrms and I use a Line 6 Floorpod XT live pedal.
2 tones: 1-Whiskey Jar for a nice distorted and sustained sound for the more rocky pieces and 2-Everyday Blues for the mellow songs that still need a bit of edge.
I took the backing tracks and used a free Karaoke editor for Windows (karlyriceditor) so that when the backing tracks are playing, I can see the words if I need a prompt (I exported them to .avi files then converted to .mov so they could be added to the Ipad).
I have these on an Ipad that is clipped to the mic stand and plugged into a mixer channel on the PA (I just use the aux in).
Guitar is a Mexican Fender Telecaster and I use a Shure SM58 for the mic.
I have a one hour set which has covers and originals (made with RB).
Didn't make any recording last night but might do at the next one on 16th May ...
I have to admit, it was quite exhilarating, in fact, one guy actually told his taxi to wait until I played Crossroads again ... It was a nice atmosphere with everyone having a good time. Couldn't have wished for more.
Cheers
Mike.
