I'm playing more OMB gigs and duo-trio gigs with pre-recorded sequences from the Tyros 2. I'm on guitar and vocals. I add a horn player and female vocalist at times. It's been a very positive experience. Half the battle is planning and organization ahead of time. Most of these engagements are receptions, private parties, dinners, etc. with little to no dancing---mainly background ambience music. I've learned to anticipate what people request most and have those tunes ready. Rarely, do we get stumpped. It's been amazing to me the transition from a 5-piece group to a OMB playing the same tunes. Yes, the chemistry of group playing is great when everything clicks. However, the OMB money splits better and there a far less hassles, worries, and the like. I've not had one employer complaint about the sound. Most like the price, the less clutter spread around, the reduced volume, and the amount of space saved in tight set-up quarters.
