Cecil,

I have found that the more proficient I get with some of the BIAB features that enhance live playing I find myself less in the need for any foot gear, and I too play guitar on the gigs.

I have found that with my playlist loaded in the order I want them in my "Fav" folder in-between songs I can pretty quickly select what I want next. And because of the faster generation time of the realtracs I do get more tunes in per gig than I did before. The only thing I find that I may have to tweak from time to time while the song is playing is the volume of one instrument track or another. When this is required I just reach up to the laptop and adjust the volume for said track. And as most of my solos are somewhere in the middle of the tune I am just comping or playing chords at the time so me missing a strum or two while I make the adjustment is not even noticed by the audience.

For the next tune I just reach up and click that little "F" to the left of the song title to get back to my playlist and click another and as they say in Nawlins . . . I am ret-to-go. Another reason why the foot controllers won't work for me on live gigs is that I play 99% of the time standing. Heck I wouldn’t be able to find my foot controller most of the time! Besides I play a lot of retirement gigs and with those slippers (that come with one of those controllers) and my thinning gray hair I may be mistaken for one of the clients. But I do love those slippers man.

Of course I am talking about live gigs here but for recording and arranging I can see where tweaking as you stated in your last post would be beneficial, especially trying styles on the fly.

Take care of that new hip, just curious did they give you a 30 day no questions asked money back warranty i.e. BIAB?

Happy New Year,

Danny C.
