I don't think this is a fair comparison. The guitarist in a guitar
contest woudn't be plugging in a cd player or something in which to fake
it to. The laptop user however, has this power just by the nature of
his/her instrument.
I don't care one way or the other. I almost think it would be
entertaining to watch a bunch of people fake it and try to look
interesting. I was more suggesting that the video projection adds
something cool to it while helping protect against this. I think it
would be funny as hell to watch someone perform by using the mouse to
turn the cutoff knob on a filter back and forth for a whole set. Thats
what I expect people are doing anyway. tee hee.
For the record, i also turn the pan knob! so there. :-P
