Hi folks,
I almost put Linux in the subject line, holding off because there may be non-computer suggestions as well.
When I do a gig I much prefer live musicians.
However, once in a while I am in a setting where backing tracks prove most productive.
What i find recently though is that trusting the playback abilities of a location may be unwise indeed.
So...the question.
Ideas on simple as in compact tools, stand alone units, computerized or not, that give me the means of performance playback. Include ideas for amplification so sound carries too.
Using a built in laptop speaker does not cut it if that makes sense smiles.
I am in Canada with u. s. access.
Thanks,
Kare

Not sure at all what kind of music you are doing, or what kind of backup tracks ... but I generate tracks with MMA and play the the midi files back with timidity from a laptop. Just need a cable to an amp :) Yes, it's not the greatest, bestest audio ... but I've never had a complaint. I have to assume that the audience is listening to my wonderful sax playing :)
I use both MMA and xpmidi, both from my website www.mellowood.ca. Send me a PM if you need details.
Best,
