Yes Roger, I am prerecording everything and I tell you why. I don´t like to play with styles (patterns) which contain 4 or 8 bars. Specially the bass is annoying in those loops. I always begin with a partitur on the song, writing down some arrangements and so on. Then start to program the sequencer in realtime track after track. I do so even with the drums, just in the same way a real drummer would play. Then I felt more feeling for the song. I also putting in midi programchanges on a muted track, for control of mixing scenes on my Yamaha 01V and for DMX lightning moduls.

Of course I also play some instruments live, together with the sequncer. It could be organ (most) or a piano. Some songs I play on my Fender Strat for.ex Guitarboogie. Then of course I also sing and play simultaneously. But I never play alone but together with one or two friends who also sings.

It would be interesting to hear what kind of music you play and what kind of audience you have on your "livegiggs"?
