Went to Wally World today to look at some tablets, I would like to have my lyrics on my mic stand, accessible easily, and possibly try to run a effects program for my guitar on it also. I'm not sure what can work for downloading and accessing lyrics and not important but would like to get a amp program and enter that also. I can get a mount and put it on my mic stand and use lyrics as needed. I think to keep from ramblin', I'll let this go and read your comments, you know what I'm looking for, I hope.

Roger. I see your not getting any answers. I too, am looking for something to use vs a book on a music stand
that has words. I probably have near 400 lyrics and that takes a very big book. Lots of shuffling around.
How nice it would be to have just one thing to carry words.

I've seen some apps for the iPad to do what you want. Actually there is a lot of music/recording/effects type apps around.
I don't know about the Android tablets. Most of what I see is for the iPad. |

I have seen people using the tablets for this. Have also seen people use laptops. I imagine that as long as you have a way to mount them, either would work. Mounting a shelf or something to a mic stand for a netbook/laptop might mean you need to weigh down the stand so it doesn't tip over. I think a tablet would be better as it probably has a touch screen and you won't have to deal with a laptop/netbook surface type mouse or a real mouse. And, I have seen mic stand mounts for tablets available.

| I worked last night with a singer who uses a Ipad, I asked him and he didn't know about the other netbooks. I just don't have the 400.00 to spring for that. I'll spend 100 or so but not 400. Well I have all the mic stand connections as soon as I have one. I could use my little laptop but once again no touch screen so square one. |
