Many people have commented about patrons thinking they are not even playing, that their laptop is making all of the music. That's not good, seems to me. In fact, if they can even SEE a laptop, that's not good. Althought, I don't know a way around it. How could you 'hide' a laptop?

Another thing would be if you didn't have a music stand to block their view. If you need lyrics, if the lyric was displayed on the onboard display, that would be ideal.

Another way would be if you had a Music Pad Pro like Scott Yee and you mounted it in some kind of way that they still see your hands playing.

It won't make a break you but many people take great pains to do this and that. Just a thought. Differentiating yourself between a musician and a d.j. could prove beneficial. Then again, maybe not. Haha. Maybe they could not care less and only WE worry about such.
