What wastes prep time before the gig

Rebuilding sets from scratch, scattered charts and last-minute key changes slow down bands with limited rehearsal time.

Building every setlist from scratch

Clone a previous wedding, bar night or corporate gig. Drag songs into a new order, tag by venue and walk into rehearsal with a proven set instead of guessing what worked.

Charts buried across drives and chats

Store PDFs, lyrics and chord grids on each song once. Every band member opens the same default chart without hunting for the right key or chart.

Key changes that never reach the whole band

Update the chord sheet or swap the PDF. Cloud sync pushes the new key to every tablet and phone before soundcheck.

Deps need material fast

Share a setlist copy by email or invite them as a viewer. They rehearse from the same charts the core band uses without digging through your library.

Built for bands with extensive repertoires

Common questions from cover bands

Can we organize separate setlists for pubs, weddings and corporate gigs?

Yes. Create setlists inside one project and tag by event type. Clone any set when a new booking arrives and search recent shows to find what you played at similar venues.

How do we manage different keys for the same song?

Store multiple charts or chord sheets on one song and mark which one is the band default. Update once and every collaborator sees the change after sync.

Can a dep get only one night's setlist without accessing our full library?

Share the setlist as a copy via email or invite them as a viewer on the project. They see songs and charts for that show only.

Does SetSmith work with backing tracks and click tracks?

Attach MP3 files to songs. Use variable playback speed for rehearsal and stem separation to isolate your part. Audio stays linked to the song in every setlist.

Will charts work offline at outdoor festivals or venues with weak signal?

On mobile, SetSmith caches project material for offline use. Open Play Mode before you lose connectivity and navigate with touch or a Bluetooth pedal.
