Hi,
I’m not very well up on DAW and MIDI but thinking about a 1-man setup using backing tracks.
I would have mp3 backing tracks on windows laptop. Gear would be: AXE FX II, MFC101, PA, mic, guitar
MFC connected to Axe FX via cat5 cable and Axe FX connected to laptop via USB.
AXE FX o/p direct to PA (for me playing guitar) and the headphones out of laptop to PA. Mic into PA.
Is there a way that the MFC can stop/start the mp3 playback? I’m reading I need Ableton or similar?

I don’t need anything fancy just stop/start next track etc to begin with.
What “I think” I need to do ….:?
AXF FX: set MIDI THRU to ON
Purchase Ableton: then assign the stop/play button to an MFC button ..somehow!
MFC: send midi messages to Ableton?
Any suggestions or recommendations appreciated. Is this even possible?
Very little experience on the DAW/MIDI side (comfortable enough with AXE FX & MFC) so any guides recommended
Thanks Alan
