Sweetwater has just released SetMaker v1.1
for Windows and Mac OS X. SetMaker is a freeware application for
creating set lists, originally released by Sweetwater for Mac OS 9.
Chuck Surack, the owner and founder of Sweetwater, says, "The response
we received from the original launch of SetMaker for OS 9 was beyond
what we had expected. We feel that SetMaker has been wildly successful
on that platform. In addition, we heard from so many people who
expressed interest in a version of SetMaker for the PC and a version for
OS X that we couldn't say no. We especially thought it was important to
offer SetMaker for the PC because we know there are leagues of musicians
out there who rely on that platform and we are committed to supporting
them as well as we have supported Mac users."
SetMaker is the ideal computer application for rapid creation and
management of Set Lists. Featuring an intuitive graphic user interface,
SetMaker allows users to store song titles, styles, tempos, lengths, and
more. It is also the FASTEST way to create and print out Set Lists for
any occasion. Whether you're a gigging musician, a worship leader, a DJ,
or a music director, SetMaker can help you organize your songs and
assist you in picking the best songs for your performance.
Chuck Surack says that the creation of SetMaker arose out of his own
performance needs. "I struggled for a long time trying to find a way to
quickly and easily make set lists that I could take to my gigs. I
experimented with different database programs and spreadsheets, but
nothing really seemed to get the job done quite the way I needed it. So
finally I approached a couple friends and we worked together to design a
custom program that met my specific needs. I'm thrilled with it and now
I'm offering it to anyone who needs it, free of charge. I've found
SetMaker to be a great help to me personally and I hope other musicians
find it to be useful as well."
There are basically two different parts or areas of SetMaker:
1. Song Manager - SetMaker is a "Song Manager" in the sense that it
allows you to keep a "database" or "list" of song information. This data
is automatically saved with the program and can be categorized,
filtered, and manipulated in a variety of useful ways.
2. Set List Creator - SetMaker allows you to quickly select songs from
your database, put them in a Set List, and print out a compact
clean-looking list of songs to use for live performance, general
reference, etc. You can create and save as many "Sets" as you like
(unlike "Songs" which are automatically saved with the program).
SetMaker is now available for Windows (95 and later), Mac OS 9, and
Mac OS X.
