Hi guys,

Its been a while since I've posted and now I'm back looking more advice....typical!!

Anyway, myself and 5 friends have been talking about getting our old 6 piece live band back together again. Unfortunately, for the time being at least, the chances of this happening are slim so 3 of us have decided to form a "3 piece".

2 of the guys have experience of playing together in a 2 piece and have experience of using "backing tracks" via a mini disc player.

With the 3 piece now we will have to, unfortunately, go down the route of using some pre recorded backing (although the guitar and keyboard will still be live).

The guys that have played with backing tracks before have been saying the minidisc is the best to use, but do any of you guys have any alternatives that may be better? I'm thinking maybe a laptop but would be worried of glitches etc..,

Thanks for any help.
