I've performed with biab backing tracks a few times
I play instrumental guitar (jazz, blues, rock, bluegrass, country)over biab arrangements.
Mostly covers, a few of my own.

I try to limit the biab backing tracks to bass,& drums.
Sometimes I add a chording instruments (keyboard, guitar, accordion) but usually cut the volume on those. I don't want too much backing if you know what I mean.

Most of the time I can get a decent arrangement with just biab.
Sometimes I use real band. Infrequently I use Apple Logic Pro X
I'll admit the endings sometimes are a bit abrupt. I could do better.

But at this point I'm just trying to get 50-100 tunes I can play melodies for and a chorus or two of solo.

I store all the wav's and mp3's on an Ipad for performance.
I use SoundCue on the ipad to map out the set and play the wav/mp3's. Its a good piece of software for performing.

Be sure to set the ipad/iphone in airplane mode before performing.

I pass the ipad/iphone speaker output through a whirlwind pcdi box and xlr cable to the board/pa.

Guitar goes to a Fender Vibrolux or Fender Mustang GT100.

I just purchased the bose s1 pro PA so I'm going to try to give that a whirl in the next gig or two just for the tracks.


Anyway, very interested in hearing how others handle it
