Hi, For what it's worth......if I need to use 'backings' for a live jazz gig, I use BIAB for bass, piano & drums.......then SONAR......add guitar etc....tweak what I want, then record to MiniDisc. I have an MD player adapted for a foot pedal.....cost very little. That means I can change tracks around very easily as needed. Set MD player on pause.....auto stops at the end of the track......use foot pedal to start next item whenever I want. I don't have to look down at any time! From my point of view, contact with the audience is important. I know it's a 'low tech' solution......but it's reliable for me. Maybe of help to some others. Regards, Joe G.
