As DVDDoug above, managing music can be entertaining and not in a good way. Producing a recording that matches a live performance isn't the goal any more.

Do this completely automatically without knowing the fine de...

Music connection to a laptop is usually the worst problem people have. Why don't we work on that first? If you can't get that working, then anything else you do is a waste of time.
