Using Mix Recall to emulate a VST Host (aka Cantabile) ?

I'm currently preparing and rehearsing (as guitarist) for a stage play.

Instead of using actual guitar pedals, I was thinking of using a portable PC (just a small PC casing in a trolley bag / SSD setup) with CbB + NI Guitar Rig Pro, and other plugs.

Ideally, I should be getting something like Cantabile vst host, but my budget maxed out (bought a 13" monitor, some soft synths, etc). I also use Pro Channel a lot, so I would like to try out further using CbB.

I've already gone through 2 rehearsals with the above setup. All tracks are loaded with suitable vst/i (about 6 tracks now). Switching sound is rather tedious by muting / un muting tracks.

I've just recall the Mix Recall feature [ pun ? :) ], which I think will speed up doing tracks muting / un muting. This should be rather easy for Mix Recall to handle. But I've never use this before.

What do you think ? Would Mix Recall be the best choice ?

Just hoping there might be a way to setup a midi foot switch to change Mix Recall.. which I think it's not possible right now.

Take a look at Gig Performer. Many Forte users switched when the Forte dev announced that no further work would be done on it.

It's fantastic!

I tried Cantabile before I found Gig Performer. Once on GP, there's no going back. Also great in the studio when you just want to woodshed.
