[Studiotalk] Introduction and iPad/Tablet Question

[Arnold, Hannah]

Hello!

I was pleased to recently discover this listserv, as I am the new-ish director of Indiana Voices. After Lin Coffman retired in 2021, Indiana Voices was dormant for over a year, but I came on board in 2022. It's been a learning curve (a background in live music recording only prepares one for so much), but now I'm ready to refine our process even further.

That brings me to my primary question: what recommendations do you have for using iPads/tablets in the recording booth? I saw some references in the listserv archives to using tablets for narration, but I'd love to hear further thoughts.

In particular, I would like to know:

  *   What tablet your narrators use; do you like it or would you advise against that model?
  *   What PDF/eReader program(s) do you use?
  *   Do you use any apps/tools that easily allow narrators to write their own notes in the "margins"?
  *   Do you have any other recommendations for our transition from paper copies to a screen?

Thank you all!
