I can't answer your question, but it makes me nervous when people use computers live... Have you ever had a "computer problem", and did it take you more than 5 minutes to fix? A guitar & amp can go a lifetime without a show-stopping problem (although you should carry an extra cable & strings), but computers are the least reliable things we own!

Some people do use computers* and I expect some replies here from people who've never had a problem on stage. (And, the "big acts" are probably using lots of computers in their shows). But, if computer is critical to the performance I recommend that you have a back-up computer configured and ready to go. It also helps if you have a dedicated computer that you don't "mess with" during the day.





* And, there are people who don't use computers live anymore because a show was ruined.
