Just my thots...

Sonic is right on the mark with his comments about the drummer needing to be in complete control.Yes, we've had audio train wrecks.and it ain't fun.
I used to play with a band that used sequenced material...."Man am I glad that's over with"..The drummer would be monitoring a "click" track, and the rest of us could get a feed of whatever instrument or vocalist we wanted...BUT...you're still tied to a sequencer. No adlib, no stretching out a particular song, no deviation from the set sequence....in a word.."boring".
It was too easy to get out of sync if you lost the percussion in the mix, for whatever reason.
I've done a lot of solo gigs where I've used sequenced material, mainly percusion, and the odd string piece, but I don't even do that anymore.
Trust me punkyb...your audience isn't stupid, and they'll know.
Play live....you'll be better musicians for it. And as a better musician, you'll be in demand, and you'll like what you're doing a whole lot more.

...Just my thots...and Good Luck with your endeavours.
