Built on the road
Every tool starts as a problem we hit on an actual show — built in the environment it has to survive, and shipped only after a full show day without babysitting.
Software for live production
Show-critical software,
built on the road.
The small, sharp tools touring productions quietly depend on — timecode, playback, redundancy, scheduling. Made by the people who run the show, tested where it has to work: at showtime.
Early access rolling out now — starting with LiveTC.

Flagship · LiveTC
Lock Ableton Live to SMPTE timecode — and capture the show.
Live has no native LTC chase — so LiveTC decodes incoming SMPTE off any audio input and drives Live's transport to match, coasting between corrections so steady playback never re-seeks or glitches. Run it in reverse and it captures a full timecoded session, from any DAW, straight into an empty Set.
- Coast, don't chase — seeks only on a real reason, so steady playback never glitches.
- Grid and TC-Only sync modes, for warped sets and unwarped clips alike.
- Capture Mode records a whole timecoded show into an empty Set — not just chase, capture.

How we build
Software for the one night it can't fail
Reliability over features
Show-critical software is judged on the one night it can't fail. We'd rather do one job perfectly than ten adequately. Uptime wins.
Made by the people who run the show
We're tour managers, audio engineers, and playback techs — so the vocabulary and workflows already match the job you're doing.
Fail safe, not silent
Things go wrong at showtime. Our tools degrade predictably, hand off cleanly, and tell you exactly what happened — no mystery states.
Early access
Put these tools under real load.
We're rolling out to a small group of engineers, tour managers, and playback techs first — the people who'll tell us where things bend. Leave your email and we'll reach out as each product opens up, starting with LiveTC.
