Later,

Setting up and using OnSong

Image
OnSong is an app for the Apple iPad that manages and displays chord charts. The app can only be purchased in the iTunes store. Currently, OnSong is $19.99. This post will list what you need to get started setting up and using OnSong. In order to setup and use OnSong, you will need the following: Mandatory: An iPad (gen 2 or higher). A computer with Internet access. An iTunes account. A DropBox account. A text editor (Notepad++ for Microsoft-based computers). Optional (but highly recommended) ChordSmith chordpro editor (giftware, payable with paypal). Chordpro Buddy (iTunes purchase). In reference to ChordSmith , you can do without it, however, I highly recommend you drop $10 or $15 dollars to the author and install this program. It is feature rich, and makes quick work of editing a chordpro file. Plus, it has a transpose function to boot! Go ahead and purchase it, cause I'll be referencing it quite frequently. Setup your hardware: The first step is...

Being Proactive versus Reactive

"Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow" . It actually seems as if this is a way of life for many people. Of course, this is a partial quote from Aaron Burr: "Never do today what you can as well do tomorrow, because something may occur to make you regret your premature action" .

As a result, they make many mistakes, do a job just well enough to get by and are in a constant state of turmoil. This is sad, and mostly preventable. Why do so many people react to life instead of being proactive? There are many reasons, but I think fear is one of the main reasons people find themselves constantly behind the eight ball. Now, before you conjure up thought of me being a "workaholic" or "anal retentive", let me explain. I actually agree with the second part of the above Aaron Burr quote (to a degree). One needs to be as proactive as possible wi...

Thunderfunk TFB750A & Jule Monique Comparison/Observation

I've had several people ask me about the difference between the Thunderfunk 750A and the Jule Monique. I figured it best to put down my observations in a blog. While this is by no means a thorough, scientific shootout, maybe it will be useful to anyone considering a Monique purchase, especially if they have experience with the Thunderfunk head (or similar head). Before we get started: Warning, this might get wordy! I like to talk about music and gear. Hey, I am an old musician that is fortunate enough to afford gear far beyond my playing ability. My gear, music, and hanging out with my musician friends make me happy. So indulge me...... This is not a post to declare a winner between these two heads. When you get to this level of gear, you are going to discover subtle difference and things that you favor over another. As far as I am concerned, I am talking about top-tier equipment. I will be pointing out differences between the two. Not weaknesses, since it is my belief that I h...
