I play to backing tracks, and use the TC Helicon Voiceworks to control my AXE-FX.
Synchronizing the vocal and guitar processors has greatly reduced the tap dancing I do with my feet, but my dream is to put my backing tracks into some software with a timeline, and then add a 3rd track of imbedded MIDI commands to controller vocals, guitar and lights. (Then I just sing and play and maintain eye contact with audience….no more looking at feet and stomping) (Since with backing tracks you may never slow, speed, lose your place, or make any mistakes, anyway)
For this to work I would need to create mirror copies of many presets on both AXE and HELICON and make slight tweaks (in many cases, just the relative volume)
Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing. I was looking t a product call liquid tracks, because I really want a rack mounted appliance and not an open laptop or IPOD.
Also: I see that many people do not use presets this way. Seems like many AXE users use the MIDI controller to add in their favorite effects to a given sound, by assigning an effect to a button on the controller.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the pros and cons of both methods?
Thanks in advance.
