Year One vs Live Mic Presets

Hear different lyrics in the corners of your room; build melodies as you walk around your couch; hear hidden parts and build your own chords just by walking through the space around you. Year One is the first spatial album, utilizing the possibilities of augmented reality technology, by D.C. group and label TCW. Upon launching the Year One app, the different sounds and instruments of the songs will populate and begin moving through the space around you. Your movement, tracked by your smartphone, will affect which sounds you hear and change how individual effects are applied to them, making for a different listening experience each time. This final release of the album contains all eight spatial arrangements from TCW, Wall of Trophies, and N.E. Hertzberg. TCW has released a how-to guide for any musician to build their own similar app independently. Alongside the guide, TCW has begun cataloging spatial composition techniques for other musicians to use and contribute to. This guide and techniques can all be found on tcwav.com. TCW released their first spatial album, Inauguration, in early 2017 using smartphone GPS positional tracking, and released a similar guide for building spatial applications.

Live Sound Assist helps live-sound users prepare microphones, speaker systems, venue paperwork, and quick RTA checks faster with practical starting points for EQ, gate, compression, reverb, and feedback control. Browse microphone presets by brand, model, source type, and use case. Compare processing for speech, vocals, instruments, choirs, drums, and common live-sound sources, then inspect HPF, gate, 4-band PEQ, compressor, and reverb guidance before touching the console. Speaker presets add practical starting points for common professional PA families. Use the RTA tool for quick microphone measurements, 31-band spectrum checks, spectrograph history, stable feedback-candidate detection, calibrated SPL setup, measurement-mic correction profiles, and dual-channel alignment readings when compatible input hardware is connected. Use Guided Setup to create printable stage plot/input sheets with channel labels, mic choices, stand notes, monitor notes, and processing summaries. Use the Send tab to set a local Mixing Station host, port, and input channel. Dry Run shows the planned channel operations first. Live Apply is protected by a safety confirmation because mixer processing can be overwritten on the selected channel. Built for churches, schools, event production, volunteer audio teams, and engineers who need a consistent starting point before tuning the room.
