Griffin announces the iPad mic stand

January 06, 2011 09:05 AM

MicStand_iPad_Lifestyle_HiRes.jpgToday at CES, Griffin Technology announced a product that you might find handy in a contemporary worship service. The Griffin Mic Stand Mount allows you to mount your iPad onto a standard 5/8" microphone stand mount so that you can use it as a music stand.

Since LifeWayWorship.com charts and tracks have been tested with the iPad, you can put your iPad onto this new mount and use your favorite PDF reader, music reader or iTunes to lead worship right from your tablet! The mount will be available this January.

Follow LifeWayWorship.com on Apple® Ping!

September 02, 2010 08:41 AM

Apple's new music social networking serviceYesterday, Apple announced their new social network for music called Ping. It's a way for you to share your musical interests and tastes from right within the iTunes application.

Starting today, you can follow LifeWay Worship on Ping to see the iTunes original artist versions of the new worship music that we're adding to our site... and maybe some more titles that we haven't added yet as a sneak preview.

More importantly, we want to follow you on Ping... we want to know what songs are working in your church, and what you'd recommend that we consider next for the site. Follow us, and we'll follow you back. And don't worry about what you're sharing in your feed... we won't be confused if you "Like" the latest Taylor Swift album or a Van Halen album or two... we'll just be looking for the worship songs!

Ping requires iTunes 10, so you'll need to install that first, but once you do, and you get Ping set up for your profile, just search for "LifeWay" or "worship." Or, click this link and be automagically transported to our profile in iTunes. Our full name is "Worship Ping from LifeWay Worship.com" (get it? worshipping?) Once you Ping us, we'll Ping you back!

Forget using the iPad as a music stand...

Studio Day

January 07, 2010 13:27 PM

I had the good fortune today of spending the day at Sunset Blvd Studios for a tracking session for Release 2.1. The studio is one of my favorite places to be and we have some of the best studio players in Nashville. We captured some great tracks for this release which we'll roll out in March. Stay tuned.
