Using a PDA for Live Performance: Success Stories?

In summary, using a PDA for live performance offers benefits such as increased efficiency, organization, and convenience. It can serve as a digital metronome or tuner and allows for quick communication with bandmates or technicians. While it may not completely replace traditional sheet music, it can serve as a useful supplement. To ensure reliability during a performance, it is important to fully charge the device and have a designated person managing it. Many musicians have had success using a PDA in their performances, and some tips for using it include practicing beforehand, having a backup plan, and minimizing distractions.

just talked to tech support , they said we can use pp3 on a pda, but they wont give tech support. Wondering if anyone was using a PDA for their shows
 
honostly I never even thought of it. I think it would be really hard to enter things on that little tiny screen. I just take my laptop to shows.
 
Oh wow. I'd be much more likely to buy a good PDA than a laptop... but I'd have to try it out and see if it worked... and likely have to return a couple of PDAs until I found the *right* one.Hmm...
 
That would be interesting and something I might be open to...
 
My pda is tons lighter than my laptop, I would be interested also.
 
On the other hand, there will be times we NEED tech support - and if they're going to say "sorry, can't help" and we lose business because of it... is that worth it?:(
 

What are the benefits of using a PDA for live performance?

Using a PDA for live performance offers several benefits, including increased efficiency, organization, and convenience. With a PDA, you can easily access and store all of your performance materials, such as sheet music or lyrics, in one place. It can also serve as a digital metronome or tuner, eliminating the need for additional equipment. Additionally, a PDA allows for quick and easy communication with bandmates or sound technicians during a performance.

Can a PDA replace traditional sheet music or lyrics?

While a PDA can serve as a digital repository for sheet music and lyrics, it may not completely replace traditional paper copies. Some performers may prefer the tactile experience of using physical sheet music or lyrics. However, a PDA can be a useful supplement and backup for those materials.

How do I ensure my PDA is reliable during a live performance?

To ensure the reliability of your PDA during a live performance, it is important to fully charge the device beforehand and have a backup power source, such as a portable charger. It is also recommended to have a designated person in charge of managing the PDA during the performance, to avoid any technical mishaps.

Are there any success stories from musicians using a PDA for live performance?

Yes, there are many success stories from musicians who have incorporated a PDA into their live performances. Some have found it to be a game-changer in terms of organization and efficiency, while others have praised its convenience and versatility. Many musicians have also noted that using a PDA has allowed them to streamline their performances and focus more on their music.

What are some tips for using a PDA in a live performance?

Some useful tips for using a PDA in a live performance include practicing with the device beforehand to become familiar with its features, having a backup plan in case of technical difficulties, and minimizing distractions by turning off notifications and silencing incoming calls. It is also important to have a clear and organized system for accessing and navigating your performance materials on the PDA.
