Organizing a gig. - 01/24/16 10:25 AM
Got a question for those of you that gig...
How do you organize your music on your keyboards for the gig?
For me, I use registrations. I have one main file/folder that holds all the songs.
Depending on the gig, I've been creating a separate folder for a gig and copying/pasting registrations to the new folder from the main song folder.
Then I decide on an order for the songs for the upcoming gig and rename the registrations adding 001, 002 and so on.
This can create a bit of work for each new gig, copying/pasting and renaming registrations.
And for the next gig, I may have rename songs if I change the set list order.
I have given some thought to just bringing a separate set list to the gig(on paper or my iPad or whatever) and just calling up songs out of the main song file folder. Then any changes I make to registrations(styles, voices etc) will be done in the main song folder.
I'm guessing most folks have a set list going into a gig. It would be a little hard to just wing it and not have some sort of gig song list to go by.
There are some pretty seasoned performers on this forum and I'm hoping to hear from you or suggestions?
Thanks
