macOS App for Live Sound

IEM mix management
for live bands

Each musician controls their own headphone mix from their phone — just scan a QR code, no app install needed. Real-time faders, effects, click track, and multitrack recording in one native macOS app.

Everything you need on stage

Built from the ground up for live performance, with real-time audio processing in Rust.

Real-Time Mixer

Per-channel volume, pan, mute, and solo with instant sync. Every musician gets their own independent mix.

Audio Effects

3-band parametric EQ, compressor, and reverb per channel. Factory presets included for quick setup.

Click Track

Sample-accurate metronome with 3 sound presets and downbeat accents. Each musician controls click volume independently.

Multitrack Recording

Record all inputs to WAV or MP3 with pre-roll count-in. Lock-free encoding with zero impact on audio quality.

Designed for the stage

The Musician view is built mobile-first. Big touch targets, instant feedback, zero learning curve.

Horizontal faders

Large 44px touch targets with instant visual feedback. No waiting for server round-trip.

Favorites

Star the channels you use most. They stay pinned to the top, saved per bus in your browser.

Mute All

One tap to silence your entire IEM mix. Quick way to take out your in-ears without disconnecting.

Click control

Adjust click track volume or mute it entirely — independently from every other musician.

Song regions

See the current section (Intro, Verse, Chorus) at a glance in the colored mini-timeline.
