One of the most important things for a band is that all its members are on the same page, literally and figuratively. This includes creating the perfect set list. A perfect set list is more than just some song names scribbled on a napkin and passed around. It has to be the right length of time, have harmonic diversity and a healthy ratio of uptempo and slower tunes. And everyone has to be completely on board with everything, from song keys, changes and when to come in. If your band is having trouble managing these things, there’s an app for that.

Setlist Monkey is an iOS app that helps do all these things and more. With this handy app your band can manage multiple song lists for rehearsals and shows and email them to fellow members. Far from being just a list organizer, SetList Monkey can help create a harmonic flow for your set by recognizing tonal nuances, tempos, song lengths and assisting with the creation of a list that doesn’t get bogged down with redundancies like too many songs played in the same key, too many long songs in a row, too many ballads and count-ins.

If you’re a band that has trouble with starting songs out at the right tempo, Setlist Monkey is for you. Setlist Monkey has built-in metronome that lets you see and hear the tempo for each song, including the count-in to the first beat. This makes it a great rehearsal tool to help perfect your set for the actual gig.

Enter your entire song catalog into the app and let it help you create a harmonious set list that you can easily share with band mates, edit and move forward as feedback comes in. The app generally gets positive reviews, such as on the blog MusicGoat where it was named one of the 9 best apps for musicians last November. Check out other reviews on the iTunes app store and see if Setlist Monkey is for you. The list price is $3.99, but they’re currently offering a one dollar discount. No telling how long that will last, so take advantage of it while you can. Your band may be tight already, but Setlist Monkey can be an indispensable tool that helps you become even tighter, from the rehearsal space to the stage.
