Currently use stomp I/o on stage with a band while playing bass, looping bass and switching to brass. Also use some pre recorded stuff on stage (bass line with a couple horn parts recorded in AmpliTube) where the click seems necessary to keep the band on track.
It would be super useful if the AmpliTube metronome (looper and daw) could be balanced to one side or the other, to allow it to go to a separate channel in the mixer playing only on the monitors. Currently using a third party app with Audiobus to achieve the effect, but you have to be perfect to sync the loops/pre recorded tracks to the third party click on stage, and I’m never perfect haha
On top of that, i’d Jump behind the song preset library idea as well, with addition of a tempo... if I could go song to song with bank up/down command, have a new group of presets to use, have the metronome load up the right tempo and clicking away on R or L leaving the instrument signal clean on the other channel.
A way out of the box idea (or maybe it already exists in other software and isn’t far fetched) would be to be able to use the daw to program start and stop points for recording and playback of the loops... in that way, you could just play through a song as required without worrying about where you have to step on a pedal to record start stop and switch loops.
Loop Example-playing Stevie wonder’s superstition... I start playing with bass, start of first verse hit record, play through to the start of the second verse and stomp again to play the loop while I switch to trumpet playing through to the bridge. hit the bridge, back to bass because the first loop doesn’t work then back to the loop and horn for the end... all requires perfectly timed pedal action
Maybe I just need more practice, but I feel like it could be super easy setting this up in the daw type interface (for a user that is... I’m sure use it would be a lot of work for you guys lol)
