Reading? I hardly ever do, but my sing-a-long crowd is not so confident, so I've adapted a Karaoke screen just for them. I'm all about the screens ... the 4x navigation panel, the iPad/DJ on the left for dance breaks, and the ipad/Karaoke machine on the right that allows me to pick songs while the lyrics show on the TV screen for the singers. The little passive mixer above my joystick (hey - no dirty comments) sends the 2 iPads to the house mixer, and gives me 3 band EQ for each.

There have been simpler times, leaner times, and crazy lucrative times (80s), but as the song says ... "the BEST of times is now"

Use the right tools - listen to the crowd - cash the check.
