    Default amplify tracks?

    New user (rookie questions): can Android be connected to a PA and
    use these tracks at a gig? I heard it does not 'loop' -does this mean
    the tracks will not repeat?

    Default

    I don't know Android, but I have no reason to believe it functions differently than the iOS app (but look for things if you don't see what I'm talking about...).
    Yes, you can hook it up to a PA - why shouldn't you be able to? Just buy the right connectors, the sounds are good.
    "looping" is a specific function, not for gigs. What you want is to repeat CHORUSES of songs, and that setting is right on the player screen (number between repeats).
    Hope this helps...

    Default amplify

    thanks. It plugs and plays fine. I wasn't sure since I never ran an audio cable from my phone before. My simple PC speakers amplify it sufficiently for home use. For gigs I would probably need a jack adapter. Now that we have all these fine chords, where can we find the lead sheets with melody? thanks

    (run a search, there are probably others.)

    Silence the ring tones, 3G, message, email etc. if playing live

    Consider using a bluetooth reciever instead of an audio cable to connect your IRp device to your audio system.

    has some lead sheets.
    Also there are the published real books and their PDF equivalents (Sher Music, Hal Leonard for instance) although their changes (chords) may not be exactly the same as the ones here at the forum.

    Default on-gig use

    Well I'm making some progress on gearing up for a solo
    act with IrealB back up.
    -Getting my playlists developed.
    -Yes the phone audio cable is doing its job with an adapter
    connecting to the amp. I would say that the sound is
    certainly adequate for accompaniment -in fact it's
    quite lively and supportive -nice Job app-creators!
    -You are correct: silence any in-phone sound output.
    On my phone, an audio cable automatically activates
    the MP3 play, so I just deleted those files: They were
    playing over the IrealB. I only had a couple files.
    Not sure how you can disable them if you want
    to keep them saved.
    -If you need to stop a tune suddenly, I noticed that the
    stop button has some noise static, but you can tap
    Play for a quieter Stop.
    -A tablet would certainly be easier to read than my
    phone! I was planning to try Amazon Fire. Ofcourse,
    we have to make internet arrangements if there is
    no wifi on the gig location.

    Any 'on the job' tips and tricks would be appreciated....
    Could make a good thread
    thanks,

    Some people find using the Web editor (or iReal b for Mac) quicker for playlist organization. The web editor is free.

    and then you can email to iReal b.

    Yes some devices make a noise when stopping, others are ok.

    Yes we have tested Fire and it runs iReal b. Awaiting approval at Amazon.

    thanks,
    Rather than continue on specific Live use, add to this thread (mentioned in the previous email):
    http://irealb.com/forums/showthread....valid-for-live
    This sub-forum is specifically Android and others might not find it.
    I will not close this thread though, others might want to add to it related to Android.

    Default Doubling on Key of C, Bb

    I'm playing sax and flute playlists. When I go to Sax I set for Global Bb. I have to select the Transpose key a Step Below so that I can read the chords for Sax (and the notes will sound in the Piano key.) Wondering if the app could be set to automatically play the supporting Piano key when I simply select Transpose into the Sax key I want to read. It would
    simplify the process when a player is doubling.

    When you change instruments, touch Menu button>Settings ... and set Global transposition to that instrument. The chords will transpose, but the Player (assuming you are using it) will stay in concert key. This also means if the song is to be played in a different concert key, you set the concert key in Menu>Transpose. Your chart will appear transposed according to the instrument you selected in Global transposition.

    Default excellent gig material

    Nice work on these tracks, IrealB!
    Well received by a restaurant audience, applause in fact.
    Plus, one table got up and danced on Have Yourself a
    Merry Christmas....
    My compliments to the creators...
    now if I may, would it be possible to have a tone
    change on the piano, such as vibes? Would add
    a lot of variety to performance...
    what do you think?

    Thanks for the feedback, Glad you like how it sounds. In the future we are considering other sounds. If you notice, there is some guitar in the latin and pop packs.
