i do something very similar with my live set, except i don't use a computer
and there is no song sequencing whatsoever. rather its a "mix-n-match" of
different pattern-based loops that i sequence onboard on 3-6 pieces of gear.
(quasimidi 309, sirius, korg e-series, sometimes i use an mmt8 to sequence
virus and other synths) .. and i would really say, this is how ya do it!
this is about as live as it gets barring hiring a band! so i definitely
admire your idea for using fruityloops. but of course i'm more of the
mindset that you shouldn't sequence _ANY_ song, instead just have a set of
patterns that you want to play and then mix them live.
have you considered that? gives a lot of freedom for spontaneity.
other than that, my only concerns would be about the computer, ie: will
there be lag? how simple is it to mute tracks? you should be able to mute a
large number of tracks at once (i have mutes assigned to a keyboard so i can
easily play "chords" to mute a number of tracks).. and other computer
related things, like how fast are you with a mouse. oh and this is an
important one! how many outputs do you have? are you planning on using any
effects?
just some things to think about. i would be curious to hear how this turns
out though!
oh and have you seen this software "live"? was debuted at NAMM, looks very
cool for the live performance.
