Cool Setlist Trick for Gig'ers
Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2011 5:07 am
Okay, I am building my first real Gig setlist and discovered an obvious but super cool attribute of the setlist:
You can create setlist entries that do nothing but provide info! In every other board I have ever used (master mode in Yamaha for example) you put all your songs in order but it was entirely based on the sound sequence you would use (hammond, then wurli, then a synth, then piano, etc.)
But with setlist mode, you can make a blank slot and just name it for easy tracking: I named "stall for 20 seconds" for example to remind me that the guitar player needs to go into Drop D before the next song. You can put your breaks in there, Hell, you can put scripts for banter in there if you want. Then you just move through the list, one page per set type thing.
You can then cut and paste the whole setlist if you want to make an "adjusted" lineup.
Simple, easy, efficient. Does any other board do this and maybe I just didn't know it?
