Jah, you have way too many people involved to be messing around with trying to use the Biab Conductor feature in a live situation especially with singers. The problem is you have to know in advance that somebody wants to do an extra chorus, jump back to the verse, whatever. As soon as somebody just goes there and then thinks you can somehow catch up like a live band can is where the train wreak happens.
The Conductor is based on various scenarios that you can set up in advance, like hitting a number on your laptop keyboard say, 5 for example, and that number means jump to the chorus at the next part marker, a 6 might mean return to the top at "A". Note this action must be taken in advance of when you want it to happen. Somebody just waves his hand and starts singing the chorus without warning you first, and by that I mean enough warning so you can gather your thoughts and remember what key you have to hit to make it happen, then execute it, you're dead. A two second warning won't cut it. The music is still playing the verse and you've already gone past your set up point so you're forced to wait for the whole thing to come around again before you can hit that 5 to take you to the chorus. I don't know if you can understand what I'm trying to say here but trust me, it can get ugly real fast.
The only way this can work is with lots of rehearsals with everybody involved and you try out different scenarios using your laptop and software so they all can hear how it works. Without that, it will never work.
This is especially a problem with someone who's standing out front with a mic and you're supposed to follow him. He may be talking while the band is vamping and then he starts the verse or whatever it is. All he has to do is get caught up in the moment, forget what you talked about at rehearsal and just launch into the tune and that's it. Literally all you can is hit stop, try to make a joke and start over. There is no way to somehow make the computer catch up to what the singer is doing. He has to stop and listen to where the music is and try to fit in and that almost never works either so the whole thing just goes round and round the toilet bowl.
If this explanation sounds like I've been there and done that, yes I've not only expeirienced it, I've lived it man! A lot of fun too, I'll tell ya.
