Guided soundcheck
Channel by channel: solo, voice announcement to the band, gain staging, sound analysis, phase check of mic pairs. All suggestions are collected in the Soundcheck tab – and can be reset per channel.
Mixer & soundcheck
Your console – tidy and thinking ahead.
All channel strips sorted the way your band plays, plus a soundcheck that makes suggestions: BandAssist suggests, you preview and decide.
Mixer
All channels, sorted like your band.
The mixer shows level, fader, pan, mute and solo of every channel – and behind the inputs also aux, FX returns, buses, matrices and DCAs. With layers you create your own views, such as “Drums”, “Vocals” or “Monitors”, each with its own selection and order.
- Layers with name and color, sort and hide channels by drag & drop
- Mute groups and DCA assignment right in the mixer
- Reactions to music: reverb and delay on during songs, automatically off for announcements
- Profiles per band or venue – with channel roles, layers and room EQ
Sound analysis
Suggestions you understand.
The analysis is rule-based and tells you why it suggests something – “Resonance at 400 Hz: narrow cut by 8 dB”. It uses free EQ bands first and tells you when an occupied one has to give way. For mic pairs like kick in/out, polarity and delay are added.
Every suggestion has a split button Preview | Apply: Preview sets the values on the console temporarily, tapping again restores the previous state. This also works for “Apply all”. Whatever you don’t need, you discard with “Reset suggestions”.
If you like, Claude adds an AI assessment: a rating per channel, an overall impression and complete settings for low cut, compressor and EQ. Claude only sees measurements – audio is never sent.
Features
Everything for the soundcheck.
From gain staging to room measurement – every function for all channels or for just one.
Gain staging
Measures peak levels and sets the gain to the target value. Clipping is caught immediately.
Sound & EQ
Low cut, up to four EQ bands with bell or high shelf, compressor including knee and gain – against resonances, mud and harshness, leaving room for the vocals.
Phase
Compares two channels such as kick in/out or overheads, finds mics with reversed polarity and time offsets, and suggests polarity or delay.
Feedback
Detects ringing and notches it narrowly in the EQ of the main, a monitor bus or a matrix.
Room
Pink noise from the console’s oscillator (or played in yourself), measurements at several positions, correction in the main EQ.
Automix
Rides the faders within a narrow range. Vocals take priority.
Loudness
dB(A) now, Leq over a time window, maximum and a warning at the limit. Can be calibrated against a reference sound level meter.
AI assistant
“Vocals too thin” or “more keys in monitor 2” – Claude suggests the matching console changes, carried out only after you confirm.
Profiles
Per band or venue: save and reload channel roles, calibration, room EQ and input routing.
Mute groups
The console’s mute groups as buttons, with their channels. In the channel view you set which groups a channel belongs to.
48 V & Status
Phantom power per input, with a confirmation prompt. Icons on the channel strips show at a glance where 48 V, EQ, compressor, delay or polarity are active.
Safety
You stay in control.
Stop
Stops all running automatic functions, turns off the oscillator and clears solo.
↺ Reset all
Restores every value the program has changed on the console.
Preview | Apply
Sound, phase, room and AI suggestions only go to the console after you click – for previewing or permanently.
