I love the stem versions of karaoke tracks, we used them for self practice - though it was a bit of a constant battle, half of us liked using them and the other half, just insisted on using anything but the tracks…
Wow. Dan, buddy. Showing up to a gig without a backup rig? Shame.. LOL!😂. Full disclosure, I'm an IT infrastructure guy so redundancy is in my DNA. Maybe literally, I've never been tested. I run a Helix LT as my main rig. I carry an HX Stomp XL as a backup and have gone to the extent of creating presets to mirror, mostly, what I have in the LT. Both get managed over MIDI out of BandHelper so it's seamless if I have to go to it. Then, ok, maybe there IS something wrong with me, I have a Tech 21 SansAmp as a backup to the backup. Yeah, pretty sure there's some trust issues I need to unpack......
Sorry to hear about the issues with the Quad Cortex on gig day. I feel like there's a bit of an open secret that thing is a bit of a ticking time bomb, Jon Cordy made an appearance on The Guitar Hour recently and alluded as much: th-cam.com/users/liveflRougrvE2w?si=H7gZAr5n2TAmmTvd&t=4073. I've only used the plugins, but I'm convinced that company is all marketing and you're far better off with Line6, Fractal, or Kemper.

Karaoke stems? Where do you get those?
