MANY thanks Ed for taking the time to respond !

I really want to find something that is 100% bullet proof, as I can't afford glitches at a gig. Actually you got me re-thinking that for openers my iPad-Laptop connection, if that's the way I go, must not rely on WIFI but rather be hard wired or, less desirably, bluetooth. Places where I play may not even <HAVE> WIFI.

Due to my need for reliability, I am now also even re-thinking using BIAB live. I am more leaning towards getting backing tracks made in BIAB, then creating MP3 from it and running them on a reliable MP3 player with BIGGER transport buttons on my iPad or laptop. Pausing for bass or other solos and then resuming.

Actually I have used rtpMIDI with success in connecting RiBN app from my phone just for faders on the iPhone. But no real practical use- I was just playing- as in a gig I think all my levels will already be pre-set.

Hope this thread spurs some additional input to the use of BIAB in real time gigging, as it would be nice rather than playing with a canned set of MP3 backing tracks...

Best,

Bob
