Lambada, thanks. I'm no pro so the best advice I can give is to someone who is just starting out.

I see we have some of the same software and hardware. I have the TCH-Play Acoustic and their Voice Live3 Extreme. I write my background music in BIAB, Mix it, and create a wave file. Its that simple usually takes about a half hour at most. Then I load the mix into my extreme pedal and take MY BAND with me to the show. Mixing 3,and 4 piece backing bands with BIAB for both covers and original songs gives me space to play solo guitar, or the rhythm guitar part live. I've been amazed at how quick this process is, and the quality of the tracks. I'm enjoying the creative process more. Like a breath of fresh air.

The Extreme latest firmware Update creates 1, 2, 3, or 4 part vocal harmonies when you stomp a switch. Reading the Key and Chord changes from the Backing Track, its a great sound for a 1 man band.
