Midi Fighters in a jazz guitar performance
Posted on: 11.08.2013 by Valencia Sarber
Hi, guys I am new here and was just looking for some answers to a question I had... I am playing jazz guitar by myself with a looper pedal at this restaurant every week... I was looking for some ways to implement a midifighter into my "performance." I am pretty good at finger drumming but I don't want to do a whole song of finger drumming (although I can and have done it before) it seems to bore the old people . So if you have an idea, I would love to hear it!

Thanks,
Kevin

I have at the moment an M-Audio Fast Track pro, I have a realitively slow, dual core processor so sometimes my laptop gets angry, throws a fit, and crashes but I am hopefully getting a new computer soon.

I have both Ableton and Traktor and they are my two favorite pieces of software on my laptop at the moment so either would work, on my laptop though Ableton is a little CPU intensive and gets my computer all upset.

Thanks for the help!

11.08.2013		I'm just curious, but what would you be looking to add to your performance with the midifighter, that the looper isnt giving you?

Also you could get a soundcard, run your guitar through the laptop/midifighter etc, and the "outs" to the resaurant's speakers..
