Documentary Video

[arlo]

For more than two years I've wanted to make a documentary-style video showing how various bands use BandHelper. The pandemic got in the way, but I started this summer and finally finished! Thanks to the six bands who participated ... it was a lot of fun to meet them and get an inside look at what they do.

This was really inspiring to watch! I've been a user since way back in the Set List days. I still gig several times a week and wouldn't show up. Without Band Helper.

Great video Arlo.  Good to see what other folks are doing with BH.

Video was awesome!   I leveraged it to get my new band members to buy into the Bandhelper concept.

Now everyone's got their own tablet, the singer is receiving MIDI changes for his keys and VoiceLive, the bass player is creating his own notes, the drummer is playing to a click/backing track out of BH, and we're all live sharing via WiFi.  Next up...lighting control!

Big thanks to Arlo and his team for having such a full-featured software, and for providing outstanding customer service!

Great, you're welcome!

Arlo, I hope this video has given you some traction. I enjoyed it and made up a quick blurb and send it out occasionally.

Let me know if you have suggestions for wording or think it would be better to add anything:

If you want to convince yourself or any other musician out there if BandHelper is a good solution, check out this video!! These are interviews with six bands and how they use BandHelper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiHVEATo9N0

Why, in a nutshell, should you begin to use Bandhelper (a VERY short list):

1. All musicians in the band get to see whatever document they need to play the song.
2. Any musicians who desire to use MIDI changes can store them and ACTIVATE them with their song file.
3. You can store lighting changes with each song.
4. What you view in BandHelper in the app view is customizable. Would you like to see or remove a field? Make it so.
5. Do you want all song list, scheduling, venue, navigation, helper videos, audio files, band communication, and finance management in one place? Here it is.

Or use BandHelper only for your songs and your song lists. Up to you.

Use the most advanced software for bands on the planet how YOU want to use it. See bandhelper.com to get informed about the capabilities.
