So my ANCIENT Ipad has been killing me the last few gigs. Needing activated every inopportune time without a data connection, not finding the Adobe files I have been using in the app for YEARS. It's time. I am blind as a bat but DONE with a tablet clamped in front of my eyes. I can't have it anymore. I use it for notation on like one song as well as lyrics for some of the verbose rap stuff we do. I could sit at home all day and recite the lyrics over and over but I just can't bring myself to do it.


24" monitor with pivot stand. Dell small form factor PC velcro'd to the back. (Will be done after the weekend most likely). I'll be running PDFs or powerpoints for lyrics.

Should be able to use a light/speaker stand to put it down to the side and be out of my face. Should hopefully be ready by our July 3rd show. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Obviously; it's time to put me in a home because all my music dreams have died. But I'm somehow excited? \m/
 
I feel like I've read you say you'd never take a laptop rig to a gig JT? Does it not count if it's a small form PC? 😂
 
I can't do the teleprompter thing. Look away for a split second... completely lost when I return my gaze to the iPad. These days I have to memorize everything I do with the band. Good luck JT.

I ended up ordering a touchscreen monitor. Set up a PIN so I can avoid keeping a keyboard out on stage :oops::LOL: Should still be on target for Thursday's gig with any luck!:nails
Hope the gig goes well and I hope the new rig doesn't tele-port (yes I went there) into the bin after 1 show 😎

My brain goes into a fugue state on these tunes. I keep it there for cues much moreso than reading things verbatim. Jury is out whether down and off to the side is going to fly or not but we'll see!
 
So made some changes. Swapped the standard monitor for a touchscreen. Set up PIN login on the small form factor windows box. Got a new mount that slides onto a mic stand. I am going to grab a footswitch to turn pages but so far, so good. Might try and blow up the powerpoint size to fit the screen real estate but I am digging it. We'll see how it handles it's first gig on Thursday and see if it's too obtrusive on stage, size wise.
 
I think the truth for all of us is we just need strategically-placed cues.

On Love Song, I could never remember which word was in which line... Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I'm.... ALONE? HOME? 'Clean is the last one, I think...?

I made a Word doc, with just those main words in like, 24pt. font, and dropped the paper on the floor!

  • HOME
  • WHOLE
  • YOUNG
  • FUN
  • FREE
  • CLEAN
:rollsafe

It was requested by a couple for their wedding. I LOATHE the song but our singer sings it great so it's kept it's place on the list. My brain can't seem to allow it to assimilate into the onboard memory :oops: :LOL:
What about White Lion "when the children cry"? :grin
If I saw you guys I'd request that one... just because. :LOL:
