Need advice on the following use case for to run multiple MIDI keyboard controllers and vocals through a computer + Audiobox to a Mixer/PA to support live performances:
Planned Configuration:
2 Novation Launchkeys (25 and 61 but could be any brand) + Novation Launchpad controller (again any pad controller will do
All above controllers w/ USB MIDI I/O to Windows 10 Laptop
Roland XP80 w/ 5 pin MIDI I/O (or any hardware synth w/ 5 pin MIDI I/O) to AudioBox 96 MIDI in + out - Synth analog out to Mixer
1 dynamic mic w/ XLR balanced cable to Audiobox Ch 2
Audiobox TRS balanced analog output L+R to XLR to Zoom LiveTrak L-20 Mixer Ch 1 (L) and Ch 2 (R) - could be any mixer
Mixer to active PA speakers with separate monitor mix sends to each musician
Other mixer channels used for Hardware synth analog signal, Vox/mic, guitar (DI) + mic on amp, bass (same as guitar), electronic drum kit
Software for MIDI keys and vox -> lappy and Audiobox rig
Ableton (could be any DAW or Gig Performer)
Synth plugins (varies) - all controlled by MIDI controllers to Audiobox - Analog Out Left Channel (Mono) to Mixer/PA Ch 1
vox to mic Ch 1 in Audiobox to laptop to Ableton to Antares Autotune and other FX - to Audiobox Analog Out Right Channel (Mono) to Mixer/PA Ch 2
Other loops, one shots, samples, backing tracks, etc from ableton
In addition to synths/MIDI controllers, I may also use a separate laptop and Audiobox for Guitar input, to Ableton to FX and live looping out to audiobox to mixer input.
Questions
Thanks for any input. Even if it's just your thoughts or ideas about improvements around hardware, software, mixing, and monitoring for performances.
