Re: [LAU] Live performance gear ideas?

I would suggest the fishman loudbox: https://www.fishman.com/products/series/loudbox/loudbox-artist-amplifier/ it is less than 30 pounds, 100 watts, has two mic/instrument channels with minimal effects and stereo rca line input. It has mute which can be operated via foot switch (effects have switch too). It has balanced line out which can dirrect in to any venue that needs that. Stereo in a single box is not really stereo :) but at least you don't loose a channel. This means that you always use the same thing for your voice/backtracks in any venue and can dial it in to what you want. The venue just gets one line in to deal with. They are available at L & M in Canada who's warantee is great. I have had equipment go bad and they give me a loaner and call when mine is fixed. No questions asked. As for playback itself, a laptop or tablet with the right app will work... what you personally are used to is the best choice. An old mouse or keyboard can have foot switches wired in for things like next, pause, previous, mark or whatever. Or premade units are available for a price. A tablet with touch may be just as convenient though... again, what you are used to is best. -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
