GETTING STARTED / BETA
Your first show,
one step at a time.
This is an introduction to the workflow. Beta builds and testing instructions are coordinated for each console family; the public Mac download is not open yet.
1. Choose the console family
In the app’s Settings, select the make and model. Review the console’s abilities and limitations. A beta label applies to that family, and individual controls may still be unverified.
2. Build the show before connecting
Start in Script Breakdown with performers and scenes. Plan DCA assignments and, where applicable, channel parameters and EQ banks. Spreadsheet import/export lets you work with existing planning material. Save a copy of the show before a major change.
3. Review AI-assisted work
If you use an AI assistant to help prepare the breakdown, check cast names, scene boundaries, and assignments yourself. AI access to the show and permission to control a console are separate choices.
4. Establish a test connection
Connect the computer to the desk’s control network and check the selected console and address. The app’s console-control functions require a valid licence or trial. Beta access and activation instructions will be provided with your test build.
5. Send a small, deliberate test
Use a spare channel and a short show first. Review what will be sent. Scene storage, recall, and available parameters differ between families; do not assume another desk behaves the same way.
6. Rehearse the automation
Choose whether to follow console recalls or advance scenes from the app. Check waits, fades, parameter tracking, recall-safe settings, and manual operation before considering a performance. Keep a console backup and a way to continue mixing without the app.
