Fam, I need some advice.
Over the last few weeks I've been using Logic Pro on a MacBook during service for loops, etc. Typically what I'd do is record a short loop (shakers, congas, etc) at home and then send that through the house and the musicians' monitors.
That works well, but there's a couple of problems:
- switching between songs takes a few seconds, which can be a problem during service
- using the mouse, etc to control the laptop in a live situation can be fiddly
What I want to do is, essentially,
- play pre-recorded loops (it'd be great to switch loops in-song)
- trigger samples from my Yamaha S90
So, my question is: do you have any suggestions for how to improve the situation? Other programs (Ableton?) ? HW Sequencers?
What do you use for this purpose?
