We're running into the issue that a lot of bands in their 30s run into. Organising all 5 members to be free so we can play shows we're offered.

If it's the case of a guitarist or bassist being unavailable, we want to start looking into getting a backtrack of the missing member playing live so we can still go ahead without the absent member and stop missing shows.

Our drummer plays to a click already, with a backtrack in his ears.

Is it simply a case of laptop and soundcard, one output goes to drummer with the click, and the other output goes to FOH with the missing instrument?

How much power would a laptop reasonably need if this was it's only job to do when playing live? Could we get away with minimum reaper requirements?
