- An overview of my home built lyric prompter. Built from 1/2 ply. Glued and nailed the monitor houses a 22" LED backlit LCD screen and a small form factor PC.

Hey everyone! I appreciate the comments but please check how old this is! Like 6 years! Hahahaha. The thing sits in my garage. I'm not making any changes, it doesn't get used. iPads have come a long way. Hope you still enjoy the video, it was fun to build.

Hi, well if ikts sitting in your garage and not in use , how much $$$
Digital Fidelity hit me up norteracing@gmail.com
does it still work I need it. Lake bloomer as singing artist.
The other alternative I can think of is I took a course in college for stage production don't remember much but could visit the local university.
I can come up with 300 - 400 bucks
This is great! I am a guitarist and I am doing wedding gigs. I have to sing lead and play.(smacks head). love this idea. Wish I found this a month ago but at least I did. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Hey man, I'm your fan, what a nice idea you had. I'm a singer and this would help me quite a lot because my memory isnt good at all. Good luck my friend, you deserve it.
Very nice. I built a non-computerized (lyric book) monitor with a light and power for my guitar pedals and fans. I used Speakon connectors for the power as to not have cables hanging out. Love this idea. I will let you know when I start building mine.
This is epic! Seems like by now some company would make something like this.
Wow, this is exactly what I had in mind to build. Thank you very much for this!
Thanks for posting this, you read my mind and this will save me hours of research, fantastic job!
this is a pretty cool set up. seems pretty cheap and good
i think im gonna
try something like this
Looks really nice. Two things I would have done (I always go overboard) would be to cut the computer's power cord and mounted a socket on the back or side of the cabinet for a standard equipment AC cord to utilize. Secons would be to have a cut piece of Lexan that replaces the screen cover during shows to protect the monitor from direct impacts. I have seen lexan with an non-reflective coating so light reflections don't wash out the screen, although you said this wasn't an issue.
Great work!
Sweet build, thanks for sharing!
Was thinking of doing something very similar but using a Raspberry PI B+ (runs Linux and runs around 40$ on Amazon) as the brains since it is very small and generates very little heat.
Very cool project...excellent job bro!!!!
Nice work, Matt! I'm still deciding between a pad mounted to my mic stand and this type of idea, possibly retrofitting a screen to an old floor monitor. BUT I will need to send a screen output to two other screens, so the keyboard player and bass player can have lyrics and chords also. (Drummers rarely need much. LOL) Thanks for posting this.
Brilliant Job man !
How would you design this differently, if you were going to use it, at summer outdoor concerts, with bright sunlight beating down on the screen? Awesome concept, from a fellow DIYer!
It would be nice to get more detailed info on how you configured powerpoint like your home menu etc I am building one right now and was wondering how you configured your slides and sets and home menu etc.
Chet, Hey mate, I suggest a electric drum trigger, Could be wired to anywhere, Just extend the wire length, Hope it helps,
Great job. Dave. Should be something to use with karaoke aswell. 👍🏽
The LED backlit screen does a pretty good job in direct sun light. Maybe an attachable sun hood? a covered stage would be best :)
@singor68 please post some videos of the build. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
The screen is pressed between the top plate and side rails - it's foamed all around the edges so it can't move.
@kaygee9345 - in windows, ctrl+alt+arrow, the arrows will change the direction of the screen, some video cards also support portrait vs landscape....
How much would you charge to make two of these
This is something I need and have been looking for for a while now. I've looked at other sites and they are really expensive. I'm really looking to learn and build my own. What's the total cost of what you've built? If you are selling any that I can clone how much would it be for. I am really interested
How much do you charge to make for a small church
I don't have a specific site, I typically just do a google seach and grab whatever comes up. some sites won't let you copy though...
hey matt ..whats the dimensions of this? i want to build one for my band to practice with..
Matt, Hi! Great job! I am very interested in your lyric monitor. However, I need your input/suggestions on an application for me. I am a drummer/vocalist who uses index cards on a music stand. I would like to incorporate your system into gigs but wonder how I might adapt your system given my feet and hands being utilized while the song is playing and then quickly switching to the next song in a set while I am fixed to a drum throne. Ideas/ suggestions for me?
Hello what font size are you using?
Hi Dave. Awesome job! I'm searching lyric prompters for inclusion for hard of hearing peeps. Any ideas on how one could project the lyrics on a big dedicated screen facing the crowd which would show lyrics one line at a time?
Matheus Guifer chromecast...
what software is it youre running? Could you please tell me ?
Did you sale that teleprompter yet? If not, I am interested in buying if the price is right. Thanks!
May I buy one from you?
Not handy I need one my 5/18/18 can you make one for me if so how much? Price point is important.
Very cool!
YOU SHOULD ALSO POST DIMENSIONS AND ANGLES YOU USED
How did you get here lyrics to appear like that?
Hello. What usb foot pedal did you go with? Also I see most usb foot pedals come with a cd for driver install. How did you install it since your computer like mine doesn't take a cd?
Hey I know this one is probably sold! Could you make me one?
How do you setup a screen like that to work in the portrait position?
what software is it youre running? powerpoint?
I'm participating in a brain transplant this weekend. could use your help. Old post, I get it, but nice to see ingenuity.
How much did this cost total?
Thanks
You said that you use "Power Point" 2010 for the lyrics but what program do you use in conjunction with Power Point to make the lyrics.
Any chance you could send me your dimensions??! We just got the same size screen as well
Send me your address and I'll send you the whole thing.
I would Buy one
How much does it weigh? Seems like it'd be fairly heavy. Also, have u tried to set your powerpoint to automatically scroll or is that just too dodgy for a live gig?
+brywool I actually never used it on a gig. It say it weighs about 25lbs, way less than a speaker wedge. I tried the auto scroll but I was also using it for rehearsal and we would stop in places and pick up in others so it was easier to have it all typed out. The box just sits in my basement.....
+Digital Fidelity how come you never ended up using it? Just curious.
I had a kid... J/K well kinda. I was trying to get back into it with some guys I played with when I was younger but we were all too busy to make it work. I just do sound now.
+Digital Fidelity Cool. I have everything but the box. Not the best at figuring out that stuff, so I'm trying to see what I can come up with.
have you sold it yet?
@MikeUpie - if you're thinking about setting up ipads check out my buddy John's set up. You can find his channel by searching alanproaudio, it's a bit much but he always does top notch work and way over the top.
awesome! great job :)
What software are you using for the lyrics?
+Kenneth Toomey Power Point
What program do you use?
+William Weaver Power Point
How much to make me one
Do you have the design plans for the enclosure? Once I have the measurements to make the cuts, I believe I could build this. If you have them handy, could you message them to me on facebook, or tell me where I could find the plans? Ray Pelyhes on Facebook. I am a singer and this would be a great help. Love your design.
Ray Pelyhes No plans, bought all the parts and started building around it. The box just sits in my basement. PM me if you're interested in purchasing.
Good stuff contact me if u can i have a question thank you
I didn't keep a detailed list but somewhere close to $300....
Digital Fidelity
Hi, you still have it? Am whilling to buy or make me one.
You have PayPal?
I just use a music stand.
i'd be interested in selling this one actually, it's just sitting around at the moment. I sent you an email so you have my contact email.
how much you need for it?
Or, you could learn the songs...
Very cool project...excellent job bro!!!!
