benthos Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Fellow Basschatters, Does anyone use the OnSong app for the iPad? Care to share your views/thoughts on its suitability noth as a rehearsal tool and a live performance tool? [url="http://www.onsongapp.com/"]http://www.onsongapp.com/[/url] Thanks in advance!

tonyf Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 [size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I'm looking at using my iPad for a rehearsal and live tool at the moment. Got a couple of new projects on the go and a couple of deps and rather than going down the traditional "scribble everything onto A4 and stick it in a folder", I've wanted something more 21st C.[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Probably asking a really stupid question but with OnSong, I notice it seems to be geared towards church and worship music. Is it just for that genre? How easily can I say grab erm "mustang sally" and drop it into my library? If not, how easy is it to create my own music from varying sources (ie lyric sheets) and annotate them?[/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Someone suggested [color=#282828]iRealB a short while ago and this looked to be really good but I've struggled with the creation of tracks. It's not the most immediate I've found and understandably, whilst there's a huge load of stuff to share on the forums, most of it isn't always what you need.[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#282828]At the moment, I'm just back to pdfing my handwritten notes and PDFing them to iBooks. Kinda works in a very old skool way but I guess I should look at OnSong.[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#282828]T[/color][/font][/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I use it all the time for both my bands, also for performance / prompt notes etc I've made during rehearsal. I usually write my own notes for set lists and scroll thru' them per song. I don't have anything "Bass" specific on there tho'. That said you can put PDF's on it and have the pages play thru the song etc which is handy so I guess that would be good for notation or tabs. You can import songs / files form various sources, drop box etc etc but I've only scratched the surface of what it can do really. So far it's been worth every penny and more for the app. I certainly wouldn't say it's only for worship or church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
