Your whole show on iPhone. VisualGIG turns your iPhone into a backing track player for the stage. Build the set at home, walk into the bar, and fire playback, VS and effects with one tap — no laptop. No accounts. No streaming. No waiting on venue Wi-Fi. BUILT TO FIRE INSTANTLY Every file is armed when you open the set, not when you press the pad. Sound starts when your finger lands. Files play from the device. STAGE SCREEN On stage the app keeps only your pads, what's playing and the clock. Nothing to edit mid-song. • Screen never sleeps mid-set • Pads keep their positions (muscle memory) • Next cue marked NEXT • Timecode inside the playing pad • Exit takes a deliberate hold — a bump can't end the show Airplane-mode reminder before the set: one call can duck your audio in front of a room. PADS THAT DO MORE THAN PLAY • Play over — layer on top; background ducks • Hold to play — stingers, count-ins, hits • Loop — beds and ambience • Fade out — smooth ending • Per-pad mixer — level and duck amount BUILDING A SET • A set for each night — name, venue, colour • Import WAV, AIFF, MP3 or M4A from Files / iCloud • Library folders — select, move and share files • Or record into a pad with the mic • Audition before you commit • Edit: tap to change, hold to remove • Missing file? The pad tells you instead of failing silently All of that is free. No account, no trial timer. The free plan shows one small banner for another indie app, never on the pad screens; PRO removes it. VISUALGIG PRO — OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION PRO adds the stage tools. Building sets and playing pads work without it. • Multitrack songs — your stems in a single pad, each on its own track. Turn the phone sideways to move, trim and split audio, set the tempo and add markers; tap a marker to jump, hold it to loop. REQUIRES VISUALGIG PRO. • Mixer & EQ — fader, pan, mute, solo and EQ on every track, a master EQ, and Normalize to even out levels. REQUIRES VISUALGIG PRO. • Audio-interface outputs and inputs — send each track and the click to its own output (click and guides to the in-ears, the band to the desk) and hear a mic or instrument in your in-ears. On the free plan everything plays on the iPhone speaker, wired headphones or Bluetooth. REQUIRES VISUALGIG PRO. • Metronome & count-in — a click on every pad: count-in, tempo found from your audio (or tap it), click panned to one ear, or a pad that is only the click. REQUIRES VISUALGIG PRO. • MIDI Controller — USB or Bluetooth pedal. REQUIRES VISUALGIG PRO. • Apple Watch — cues from your wrist. REQUIRES VISUALGIG PRO. • Pad styles, set export and import, ZIP import. REQUIRES VISUALGIG PRO. • VisualGIG PRO Monthly — auto-renewing • VisualGIG PRO Annual — auto-renewing Prices in local currency in the app. Charged to your Apple Account. Renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage in Apple Account settings. FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY GIG Bar and cover bands, solo players with VS/playback, theatre and events. Anyone who has watched a laptop update itself twenty minutes before doors. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO A cue player, not a DAW: the track editor lines up your stems, it doesn't record or mix down. No streaming, no cloud sync. Sets stay on device — on purpose. Available in English and Portuguese (Brazil). Fewer things to go wrong at 9pm.
