• Review notes and voice memos from previous rehearsals

PERFORM SEAMLESSLY
• Configure keyboards, effects and lighting as you change songs
• Play backing tracks, click tracks and video presentations
• Customize the interface or use foot switches for hands-free control
• Add custom fields for personal notes and reminders

MANAGE YOUR BAND PROFESSIONALLY
• Track income/expenses and let band members view their earnings
