Acoustic Haven is a band from Wolfsburg, Germany, performing finest acoustic music.

With Gig Performer, this three-piece acoustic band (vocals, guitar, keys) can give its maximum. They use backing tracks for cajon, shaker and bass (plus a click track).

Fully equipped with stereo IEM for all band members by using the Behringer XR18.

The band also records everything played live with Gig Performer.

Our gig with went very well in front of ~400 people. Gig Performer did a great job, including live recording of the complete show (~3 hours).

We just added a MIDAS 16 channel output module to provide all signals to FOH if needed.

Proper German engineering.

Just out of curiosity: If the Ipad changes the song in GP, would you still be able to use the Music Player when a song had 2 or more rackspaces? Wouldn’t changing the rackspace halfway a song mean the Song Player would also change?

Yep….thsts why you would put the player in the global rackspace

As this band Acoustic Heaven did. Of course, they did. Thank you @dhj !

We have one Audio file Player per Song/Rackspace, so the IPad changes the rackspaces via program changes.
