Everything a setup sheet needs

Full setup sheet editor

Mic, 48V, outboard, channel, tie line, cue box, polarity, and notes. One row per source, all in one table.

Stereo-pair linking

Link two rows and their mic, outboard, 48V, and channel settings stay in sync automatically.

Visual room layouts

Drag and drop instruments onto a real building floor plan, then circle gear and draw arrows right on top of it.

Patchbay patching

Draw colored cables between the jacks on the studio's patchbay drawing, then print the patch with a list of every cable.

Channel presets

Save a full channel configuration once, reuse it across every future session with that setup.

Customizable PDF export

Grid lines, zebra striping, header shading, and accent color. Print sheets that look like yours.

Bulk row tools

Multi-select rows, apply sequential numbering, and color-code sections in a couple of clicks.

Build your own studios

Enter each room's mic locker, outboard rack, and preamps once, plus a personal gear locker for your own equipment.

Built for daily use

Customizable keybinds, dark/light theme, and automatic updates. A desktop app that stays out of your way.

See it in action

Table Mode showing a drum, piano, vocal and guitar setup sheet, with linked stereo pairs bracketed on the left, color-coded row sections, and the inline mic picker open.

Table Mode

The spreadsheet view every engineer already knows how to read, but with linked stereo pairs, per-row colors, and inline gear pickers pulled straight from your studio's catalog.

Layout Mode: a drag-and-drop visual room layout on a real studio floor plan, with instrument blocks and a sticky note placed around the room.

Layout Mode

Drag and drop instruments onto a real building floor plan. See the room, not just a spreadsheet, with blocks you can position, resize, and color-code.

Markup mode on a studio floor plan: a drawing toolbar across the top of the canvas, with a hand-drawn arrow by the piano and a circled DI box.

Markup mode

Draw straight on the layout with a pen, highlighter, arrows, or shapes. The eraser rubs out only the part of a stroke it touches, and marks print with the sheet.

Patchbay Mode on a studio patchbay drawing: red, purple, blue, green and orange patch cables run from the studio tie lines at the top to the microphone lines and line inputs, each end a small ring around its jack so the jack numbers stay readable. Cable color swatches, a Sag slider and a Rings and Solid switch sit at the top.

Patchbay Mode

Patch the session right on the studio's patchbay drawing. Cables snap onto the jacks, and the patch prints with the sheet, along with a list of where every cable goes.

A printed PDF setup sheet with color-tinted row sections, mic assignments, 48V ticks, channel numbers, and tie lines.

Print-ready PDF export

Export a clean, printable sheet with the session date, engineer, and artist up top.

A selection toolbar showing 6 rows selected, with sequential channel numbering, a color picker, and a save-as-preset button.

Fast bulk editing

Select a whole section of the sheet and apply sequential channel or tie-line numbers, or a color, in one action instead of row by row.

The studio inventory editor: tabs for 85 mics, 14 outboard and 12 preamps, an imported room layout PDF, and buttons to import gear from another studio or a spreadsheet.

Your own studios

Enter a room's mic locker, outboard rack, and preamps once, from the built-in catalog, a spreadsheet, or a room you already have. Add a floor plan and it's ready for every session.
