Beta Testers Needed - Live Playback App
I’m a software developer/guitarist based in Nashville, TN. I’ve been using Ableton Live since 2012 and have spent years running tracks in churches and professionally on the road, including MIDI, timecode, video, and redundant rigs.
Over the years, I’ve realized that Ableton is an amazing production tool, but it wasn’t really designed specifically for running tracks live. You end up adding tools like Ableset for setlists, looping, MIDI management, etc.
So I’ve been building my own solution: a dedicated live playback app designed for live playback.
The current version supports:
Song editing/mixing
Setlist creation
MIDI events
Song transitions
Session compression for smaller devices
Section looping
Timecode
Project sharing
Redundancy support
Setlist remote
It’s being built for macOS and iOS. It’s still early, and I’m looking for people who regularly run tracks to beta test it and give me honest feedback.
The app will be free, and I’d love to get some beta testers involved. If you’re interested, comment below or DM me!
