Set List Maker App Reviews

This is the best app for a band ! Everything we need need is inside that app! A database , performance sheet with an direct acces to you tab pdf or listen to the song from your ipod , tempo player etc etc !!!! And the most important think it come with the best support !!!!

i found this app by chance, and it is now the central tool i use for managing my keyboard rig, and for coordinating performances with my bandmates. it has to have been designed by a performing musician, because it does literally everything you need to control your charts, rehearsals, midi commands, patch changes, notes, lyrics, etc. during a live performance. the developer is a real pro, extremely responsive, and incorporates your suggestions and recommendations almost instantly. i wish all app developers were this good at customer service. i have recommended this app in person to over 50 musicians at gigs, including sound and lighting techs, and every one of them has downloaded it, and now uses it all the time. this app makes having an ipad truly indispensable at a gig!

Highly recommend this app. We use it to make setlists for shows and a tempo reference to count in songs. I love that you have a master database that you can draw from and easily create new setlists. I have tried Frozen Apes temo and tempo advance. Building a setlist with these apps is way to involved.

Excellent app. This comes in very handy for organizing my song lists and other info. Its also very handy to make individual song list for auditions or whatever else you need. Keep up the good work. Ive already recommended it to my friends.

This app is awesome, all 4 members of our band have it. Easy to get set times and rearrange things quickly to account for the crowd. Easy to print and email sets & import playlists in. Attach documents via pdf or word for lyrics. Great support too, fast response & they listen to suggestions from their users and they even implement them, try that with MS :-) Keep up the good work guys.

Arlo, thanks. Like others this is my favourite app for sure. A simple way to store and use my chord charts and I tunes library of material. But above all a simple way to manage program changes on my two Yamaha boards. I have used it live a few times now and its great to not have to scramble with sounds between songs. The drummers I work with both love the fact I am ready to go to the next tune before anyone else. I use the air turn blue tooth pedals and an irig as your site recommends. They are perfect additions to the set up. For other keyboard players I suggest staying away from goose neck devices to hold your iPad that connect to your stand. I play pretty hard and with the movement of the iPad you can get pretty dizzy. A small boom stand and irig holder does the trick and it fits easily in my gig bag. I am not exactly "midi aware" so I have had to avail myself of the support function. Promptness and helpful hardly cover it. Other suppliers should take lessons. This is likely the best addition to my gear in years. I rank this right up there with my beloved fender Rhodes 73 stage piano. Other keyboard players I am sure will get that. I can assure you I have been talking about your app with other musicians that I work with. Thanks and keep up the good work.

So well designed, fluid, and useful. Goodbye xls spreadsheets and big binders. Tutorials are helpful, and the price is right!

For some reason as soon as i select bold or underline text in song editor the app crashes. Some features need major improvements. 1. You should be able to assign midi data per song, instead of using midi presets. Since each song would have unique midi data, whats the point of midi preset. 2. Abbility to set fonts size for chords and song text. 3. Chord pro support. 4. Send midi data on song select, rather than clicking on midi icon

This is a great app for managing song lists and has become a critical part of my workflow for rehearsal, jamming and gigs. The support from Arlo is also first rate. I would very highly recommend this app for any musicians that need to keep track of set lists or just keep their listing of songs organized.

Cant say enough thanks for this ridiculously cool, easy to use and learn music tool. Been using it for about 8 months without one issue. If you are thinking about it don,t... Just do it now. Seriously .

Best four bucks Ive ever spent ! Awesome !

I found that the 4.0 update is not good for me. I don’t knock it but for what I do the old one was great. My lesson was learned never to upgrade until you check what the upgrade entails. I am not that computer savvy but if anyone can help me get back my old version I would be grateful.

The new features in Ver. 4 looked scary after upgrading — take the time to check out the author’s tutorials. After 20 minutes on the Set List Maker website I put almost all of the new features to good use. Customized layouts are a great feature.

I used this a lot pre v4 but haven’t had a reason to use it for awhile. I got a call to put a 40 tune show together (including condensed versions within medleys) 5 days ago and only knew 10 of them (the band had to suddenly fire their previous player). They’re counting in the next tune as the previous one is ending. I scribbled cheat sheets of music cues on paper then created PDFs and attached them to a setlist in SLM and was able to catch it all. Impressed, I just got picked up for a busy, working band. I did have some questions in changes between v3 & 4, but developer was quick to respond (same as he’s always been).

Great product. Customer service is in a league of its own. Both exceeded by far my expectations.

Im a professional singing drummer with a bad memory and lots of technology going on. I play an electronic drum kit and my vocals are going thru a processor. The drum kits change for almost every song and so do the vocal patches. Setlist maker is controlling all of that and more. With tempo flashing, midi changes triggering my devices and scrolling lyrics Im in heaven. My whole band uses it and when we update a setlist we just sync and we all have the changes instantly. Its fantastic. And, most importantly, I have never experienced such attentive support any where. I couldnt recommend an app any more than I do this one. Its a dream!

Been using the app with an Air Turn page turner for a couple of years. This combo allows me to easily handle large piano charts with ease. Just started using the app to manage MIDI presets in an alternate setting. Received fantastic support getting this configured. Recommend this app without reservation.

Im a regular user of Set List Maker and depend on it for planning all of my gigs. I also use it on stage to follow my set lists and to play backing tracks during my shows. The most impressive feature about this APP has got to be the developpers rapid email support and constant efforts at improving his product. Arlo Leach always takes the time to reply to requests for help and quickly follows through with effective solutions, often included in the next SLM update. I strongly recommend Set List Maker to other working musicians who may be looking for a dependable planning and performance tool. Keep up the good work, Arlo!

Ive been using this app for some time now and I find it to be the best out there. I run 3 keyboards and use the midi controller to set my keys and no no one has to wait on me. couple of clicks and Im ready to go. Arlo in support is also very responsive. as I said this is a must for musicians.

Im not a professional by any means but this is great for organizing all of your songs with all related info. Fits in your guitar case to take to partys. Dont know how I managed before. Easy to use and I hope it keeps improving.
