Had a great gig last weekend 300 people, full dance floor all night, great feedback from guests throughout the night and afterwards, the sort of gig we all strive for every time but unfortunately don't always get, so thanks Peter and ST3.

My Formula to success in order of importance

1 Select songs the audience wants to hear
2 Connect with the audience and don't fiddle with equipment, ST3 makes this very possible.
3 Have a good sound and mix from the start to end without fiddling around, this you achieve at home not at the gig, if you're fiddling with mixes on the night you haven't done you prep work and will appear amateurish.
4 By keeping your backing track needs simple you will be more at ease on the night and this will rub off on to your audience, of course the ability to sing and play your instruments and whatever you are doing is a big factor but thats obvious.

My point is, you don't have to have a complicated mess of a setup to achieve a good outcome, you might be better of spending that time in creating great backing tracks and choosing appropriate songs instead , this would be more beneficial to you on the night.
No one in the audience cares about your ingenious mess of a setup that really doesn't achieve anything noticeable to them.

I am really looking forward to a very simple yet powerful looping feature, thats the only thing thats really missing to improve my on stage needs.
This will do much more for me on stage than multitrack, PDFs or midi control.
Stereo is fine for me, auto text with chords is working great, i am happy with a few basic guitar sounds which i can manually control and i don't get paid enough to include my own automated lighting so i really don't need midi control which is kind of old school anyway, but looping is something that will make a big difference when using backing tracks.

Thanks again Peter for making my on stage experience enjoyable.
Cheers Damir

Number 1 in your list is a thing that so many performers struggle with and some never learn how to do.

I see Stage Traxx as an instrument that we need to master before appearing in front of an audience, not unlike being a DJ where familiarity with it and timing are crucial. A skill that you then have to ADD to the other skills you need to be a performer! 😂

Thanks, I always appreciate positive feedback 😃

Regarding looping: I am now at point where I like how it is working. I think it works well during performance given the limitations I have. Remote control is also possible and only needs 2 pedals to make full use of (one to toggle the loop and one to select the next region to play (yes, you will be able to jump from one loop directly to another but only at the end of a loop cycle)). Setup takes some time though. Getting the loop points seamless can take a couple of minutes.

I have finished implementation of that feature and have one more thing on the bucket list (increase number of outputs) before beta testing can start. End of July should be possible. I will also do a short intro video for the looping feature before releasing the beta.

    peter Fantastic! I’m really looking forward to it, I am continually getting others coming up to me and asking me how I do what I do and of course I point out ST3 is the tool that makes it possible I had a Fantastic Ukrainian dancing group at the show and they were very impressed with ST3 as a simple replay software it would make life so much easier for them as they are using music and are not very happy with it, so the potential uses for ST3 are very great it’s a matter of people discovering it and knowing it exists, I believe Apple should have a professional software section to eliminate all the crap that’s out there , I call it time wasting software and should create a saving time software section so we can all find great software fast and easy.
