Hi Tony and the rest of you lot

Still alive and kicking. The new lady in my life (Singing teacher) soon made me realise how little I knew about singing, having said that, one month in and I already feel I'm improving. I'll post some result's soon, a threat or a promise, not sure which.

Thank you Donny, I'm now singing over SMF/backing track's.

Thank you Mark, for suggesting the singing lessons.

Thank you Tony, for remembering me LOL

I've just done a couple of small gig's using my tablet, a Voicelive Touch and two speakers. Left the G70 at home.

A tip for using an Android tablet for playing MP3/Wave files (Backing track's) with linked (scrolling) text files to display the lyrics.

An app called "Lyric Writer Pro", £1.26 in real money, allows you to load as many songs as you like, set up play lists etc.
You can even alter the size of the text display for the semi blind, delay the scrolling start to allow for the intro. It really is a great little piece of software.

The output from the Tablet into the aux input on the VLT to trigger the harmony, output from the VLT into the active speakers, no mixer. The tablet and VLT mounted on one mic stand, oh and I bought a TC Helicon MP-75 mic with a button to switch the harmony in and out without using a footswitch etc. job done, works a treat.

All the best
