So my company does a program where we take shows to local elementary schools and use the kids for all the acting and tech. Our tech needs are pretty simple 2 light trees and 2 speakers. Currently for sound play back we have been using a DJ mixing CD player like this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000C7L9V/?tag=controlbooth-20
The CD player has started to fail and not read disks so i'm looking into options to replace it.
I'm thinking about getting something similar, I like it because it's very interactive for the kids through the whole show doing manual fades and x fades. which is great cause it's the first time these kids are doing anything tech.
The biggest problem is I end up burning a lot of CDs as this need changing.
It would be nice to go to something like QLab, but I can't justify the expense of a mac computer and a USB audio box for this program. It would be nice to just have prebuilt Q lists but it makes it pretty un-engaging for the kids
I'm thinking of a tablet with some sort of software. Is there anything good like a simplified QLab that the 8-10 year old kids could figure out?
Are there any good DJ docks for the Ipad that we could still have the manual control we had with the ease of setting up MP3 playlists?
Is there some other great thing I should consider?
