Preparing Gig Performer for Action with Powerlord

I quick report from the field:
Yesterday I played my first gig since two years, the first with Gig Performer.
No pictures or videos yet, unfortunately.
As expected from testing and preparing and from the band rehearsals, all went perfectly well. Not a slightest feeling that something could go wrong, anyway.

The thing I noted most positively, also in comparision to my previous live host Brainspawn Forte, is the low latency and more important, the very low latency jitter at a given buffer size.
I tested this once under laboratory conditions here:

And now I can confirm this also for myself in a live situation.
We don’t use click tracks for tempo on stage, as well as no audio or MIDI file playbacks. For many songs I trigger looped rythm samples or synth arpeggios by hitting a key at every first beat of a bar, in sync with the drummer. Because of the low latency jitter in GP, this gave us a really tight timing and groove.

Looking forward to my next gigs with GP!
