Sound system (Reply to this comment)
by gestes
Enjoying your articles. Tell me, what kind of sound system do you use for these? Understand BIAB running on a laptop, or maybe burn tracks onto laptop...
Beyond that, I presume you need to "plug in" to something to amplify the laptop sound, and then the question: do you mic yourself and let the mix come through as the finished product, or do you play with "live sound" and speaker back-up?
I play trombone and am starting on something similar (see www.gilestes.com for BIAB samples). I am sound system challenged in my knowledge and would rather gather info and make an informed decision as opposed to learning by my mistakes.
Thanks and I look forward to your reply...

Turk Leonard One Man BAnd (Reply to this comment)

I read your piece about becoming a one man band. I agree with most of it. I have been doing the one man band thing since 1980. I just wanted to add one thing. While doing a show for Celebrity Cruise Lines last summer my cd player got destroyed. My superviser suggested I put all my background music on an IPOD. i had never used one before. When I got off the ship I went shopping. I bought an 80gb IPOD classic. I made setlists and uloaded songs to it. Turns out it has been the best system I have used to date for my set lists. It has a 2" screen , so there is no problem in seeing the entire set and chosing what I want to play from them. The sets dont have to be replaced like they so when a CD or a cassette wears out. Just for your information!

Kind of reminds me of this scene in the movie "El Mariachi". The mariachi goes into a bar looking for a place where he can play. The bartender tells him "Why pay one musician when he can have a whole band for the same money?" The bartender nods to a guy sitting in the corner, who gets up, sets up a Yamaha keyboard and presses one single button as mindless synthesized tunes fill the bar...
Well...I got a chuckle out of it...
Best,
