THE APP Introducing On-Axis: The must-have app for audio professionals in the event and touring industry! Measure and model your audience area with a completely new method compatible with many popular loudspeaker simulation programs. The On-Axis method significantly speeds up the measurement of the audience area, allowing you to focus on the most important thing, making the actual speaker design. WORKFLOW The On-Axis workflow begins by taking measurements of the audience area with the app. The On-Axis exports a file that can be imported into the selected loudspeaker simulation software. The On-Axis does not replace traditional methods such as CAD drawings or other precise models. It is a new addition to your existing toolbox. MODES The app consists of three different operating modes. Venue and Planes mode can be used to draw a 3D model of the listening area. The On-Axis Profile mode can be used to draw a uniform plane to the speaker’s axis, starting from the speaker’s rigging point and ending at the farthest point of the audience area. BLUETOOTH SUPPORT The app can be paired with a compatible laser distance finder via Bluetooth. This enables the measured distance and angle to be transferred wirelessly. See the compatibility chart for more info on supported devices. TO GET STARTED Watch the tutorial videos to get started: http://link.oksound.fi/playlist The app is free to download but requires an In-App-Purchase to unlock the export, save and open functions. A 14-day free full trial is also available to see if this tool fits your workflow.  This is a 3rd party solution and compatibility with simulation software is guaranteed only with tested versions.

ProdCom is a powerful real-time voice intelligence and control platform for live production environments. Free to download. An active subscription is required to access all app functionality. No functional features are available without an active subscription. Built by industry professionals, ProdCom turns voice communication into clear visual transcripts so nothing gets missed in loud or fast-paced situations. Monitor engineers can handle multiple mix requests at once, FOH engineers can mute their shout speaker or take off their comm headset and continue to communicate, and show callers can efficiently respond to simultaneous requests coming at them on their panel. FEATURES (Active Subscription Required) Multi-Channel Visual Transcription Convert multiple audio inputs into real-time, color-coded visual transcripts that can be used alongside voice communication or as a standalone solution.

Type messages directly into any channel for hybrid voice-and-text communication—ideal when you need to send a quick note without speaking. Organize channels into groups to view multiple speakers as a single, unified conversation. Customizable Layouts Design flexible layouts that match your workflow, using chat-style views or floating windows for individual channels or groups to maintain constant visual awareness. Keywords & Automations Highlight critical words automatically within transcripts. Create keywords instantly from selected transcript text, or customize them with colors, text replacement, or emojis. Build powerful automations using keyword detection, MIDI triggers, and in-app actions.
