Writing about rehearsing, recording and playing in a band.
What a sheet music reader needs before a tablet can replace paper at rehearsal and on stage: hands-free page turns, annotation and no reliance on signal.
A setlist is the list of songs in a show, in the order you play them. What goes on one, how to order it and how to work out how long it really runs.
GarageBand is not coming to Android. The alternatives for producing on the phone, recording a band and rehearsing, and how to pick the right one in a minute.
Looping four bars, slowing them down and changing the key turn a passage you cannot play into one you can. How to use all three without wasting an hour.
A phone is enough to record a rehearsal well. Where to put it, what to record, and how to file the takes so you can still find them three weeks later.
Setlists fork the moment you copy them. How to build a running order the whole band shares, print it for the stage, and use the same tool for focused rehearsals.
Most band apps manage calendars and contacts. A band that rehearses every week needs the repertoire, the recordings and the setlist to be the same thing.
