Software
Small, sharp, single-purpose macOS software for the people who run live shows for a living. Each one does exactly one show-day job, was built between load-in and doors, and shipped only after it held up on a real show.
Timecode · Ableton Live
Lock Ableton Live to SMPTE timecode, and capture the whole show.
A standalone macOS menu-bar app. Live's transport follows your timecode master without re-seeking or glitching, and Capture Mode records a whole timecoded session from any DAW into an empty Set.
Live plugin host · FOH and stage
The insert rack you can bet a show on.
AU and VST3 plugins in console-style chains on any interface. Snapshots recall from the desk, MIDI learns on everything, delay compensation keeps chains aligned, and a misbehaving plugin can't take the rack down.
Network audio · Mac to Mac
The Ethernet cable is the snake.
2 to 32 channels of audio between Macs over ordinary gigabit Ethernet, with Primary/Backup failover that snaps in milliseconds, a hardware watchdog, and per-channel gain with live meters.
Crew comms · voice to text
Talk. It becomes text. Everyone reads it live.
A voice-to-text intercom for live-production crews. On-device transcription, over your own network, no cloud and no accounts. Mac app, iPhone and Apple Watch apps, and a zero-install web viewer.
Better together
Each tool stands alone. Put them on the same rig and they cover the whole signal path from timecode to the crew's ears.
Audioduct™ carries LTC bit-clean from the FOH rig to the playback Mac; LiveTC™ locks Ableton to it. Same timecode, every machine.
LiveRack™ hosts the inserts between console and PA, recalled by the desk's Program Changes, with a plugin that can't take the show down.
Gainware Chat™ puts calls in writing on every screen in the building, with no network dependency beyond the switch you already trust.
Rather have it built?
Gainware™ designs and builds playback, in-ear, front-of-house, and lighting systems: racks, cabling, patch panels, and the software to make it all one system.
