I've used BIAB live for over 15 years and never had a problem. Gigs are solo / duo, standards-based improvisational restaurant or cocktail party gigs. I use it on whatever decent reliable laptop I'm using for other general purposes. Sometime when there's three of us I remote another display. I'm lucky to play with jazz teacher level partners who like the fact that we can all see and play from the same changes. And all are impressed by the way BIAB's Realtracks sound and are so easy to program. For these type gigs I use good QSC powered speakers and a small mixer. Simple.

Gigs have been down since the virus, so for simple house-type gigs I started making videos of BIAB playing the tracks, then move videos into a phone or tablet then blue-tooth the audio to a small amp. It's a bit of a hassle making the videos and converting them for Android compatibility but I'm surprised at how good they sound.

There is one thing. I've hoped and wished for it and commented about it several times here on the form, but the Conductor function has never worked reliably on Real Tracks.
