Hi: The advantage to midi, if you consider it an advantage, is that you can
edit it if you find that certain parts are too loud etc. Once you do an MP3,
it's done. Of course, some people here use them and it's probably the best way
to go. But midi is easier to change once you've heard it on stage. John

I can see a lot of advantages in having a laptop on stage but understand what
you mean in regards to the pc doing all of the work. I would like to take that
just a step further as wonder why some choose to have computers play drum
machines and synths via midi rather than simply recording the parts and playing
along to an mp3. I realize some do that as well but just wondering the
advantage of using the midi verses recording parts and making an mp3 out of it
to play with. Would think that having extra midi stuff would take up more room
than an mp3 player if you aren't actually playing all of the parts. Thanks for
any input as curious to hear opinions. Dave

Hi Omar,
I personally don't like lap tops on stage. People see a computer and
instantly think that the computer is doing all of the work.
On all songs, I put 1 bar of drum hits or rhythm for my personal
recognition just so I know straight away which song is set up, this way the
audience don't suddenly hear a familiar beginning of a recognisable song.

Hello,
I'm going to start gigging live soon and wanted to hear some thoughts.
I'll be using a Motif ES6 to play midi sequences. My question is: if my band
performs around 30 songs a night, would it be more efficient to just use the
motif's playback capabilities to run the sequenced files, or would it be more
beneficial to use a laptop to handle the operation?
Thank you for all input.
