CueConductor vs Somnideck

Conduct hybrid orchestral performances and lead recording sessions with stems, click, scoring video, and the printed score — locked to one transport, on every stand. CueConductor is the workstation for conductors, performers, and engineers working where acoustic musicians meet pre-produced tracks. Load a package, hit play, and follow the counter, beat dots, color-coded streamers, and punches in real time. Conduct from the PDF score with pages that turn themselves, and put a CueConductor on every stand with the podium driving them all. No tempo map yet? Record or import audio in TempoMapper™, tap along, and turn a live performance into a finished cue. No external click box, no fragile cabling, no surprises. FEATURES • Load .conductpkg packages: stems, click, scoring video, PDF score and parts • Real-time counter, beat-grouped dots, color-coded streamers, punches • Conduct from the score: auto page turns, Apple Pencil markup, Bluetooth pedals • Score & Parts: one cue carries the full score and every part — each player picks their own and the device remembers it • Conductor Mode: broadcast the show to every stand on the Wi-Fi — no cables, no MIDI • Link to DAW: sample-accurate sync from an AU, VST3, or AAX plug-in — or classic MTC • Single-tap jump to any bar, rehearsal letter, or marker • Per-stem faders, mutes, and solo; independent click and FOH pan with mono fold • TempoMapper™: record from any interface or import stems, tap the tempo as it plays, and fine-tune beat anchors on the waveform — transient snapping and a built-in click • CueBuilder™: build packages from a MIDI file, stems, PDFs, and scoring video — or send TempoMapper's tempo map, click, and stems in with one tap • Save works-in-progress as projects and finish them later • Export QLab packages: overlay video with stems numbered for one drag into your cue list, plus setup notes for the FOH engineer • Frame-accurate scoring video on an external display • Catalog browser for licensed packages ON THE CONCERT STAGE Place your iPad next to the score — or use it as the score — patch it into the hall's PA, and stay in sync with pre-recorded tracks. Watch the counter, streamers, and punches; the orchestra hears only the music. In rehearsal, locate instantly to any bar or rehearsal letter. Reading from tablets? Conductor Mode puts every stand on the Wi-Fi under your transport — counter, beat dots, streamers, and page turns, each player on their own part. One router at the podium runs the whole section. IN THE STUDIO Conductors — patch the control-room headphone mix into your phones alongside your iPad and see tempo, click, and stem playback privately. Performers — download the package ahead of the session, locate to the tricky bars, hear the cues, walk in prepared. Engineers — build a package from the MIDI file, stems, and video already in your Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, or Digital Performer session. Insert the CueConductor Link plug-in on the main output and the session streams straight to the conductor's screen — sample-accurate, no MIDI setup, no timecode routing. Composers and music directors — no tempo track? Record the performance (or drop in a bounce), tap the beats in TempoMapper, nudge the anchors onto the transients, and bounce a tempo-perfect MIDI map, click, and stems into CueBuilder. Rubato and all. Composed a cue wild, with no click? Tap in its tempo map and you have one — a click that breathes with your performance. PRICING Free to download with a 30-day trial of all features. After the trial, TempoMapper, CueBuilder, QLab Export, External Video, and External Sync require CueConductor Pro (in-app purchase). Playback, importing, the catalog, projects, and sharing stay free forever. Licensed performance editions from Vision Music Publishing unlock External Sync and External Video for that title on every device — no subscription on the stands. Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

A tape-deck-inspired looper that puts any sound on repeat – to settle someone to sleep, or to start your next song. No setup, no fuss, nothing to learn. Built for creatives and tired people alike. Open the app, press record, and ten seconds later you're up and running. But underneath, it's a real instrument – a real tool. LOOP MODE Some features require Studio. - Trim your loop on a draggable waveform, with visible, adjustable crossfade regions as the tape spins - Tune the pitch, shift the speed, or flip playback in reverse. Three controls for finding sounds you didn't expect - Drop in any audio file – a song, a sample, a voice memo – and shape it with the same tools - High-pass and low-pass EQ filters that snap to useful presets – or slide anywhere you want them - Powerful on-device denoise that reduces unwanted background noise – fans, traffic, or whatever is humming in the room – all without sending your audio anywhere - Studio-quality reverb, delay and tape-style saturation, each with presets that turn even the smallest sound into something with weight and atmosphere - Save a loop to a slot and find it where you left it, two hours or two months later NOISE MODE, DONE DIFFERENTLY Every sound in Noise Mode is original. Some features require Studio. Three categories: - 5 synthetic colors, each generated and tuned, live, in a real audio engine running on your phone - 9 field recordings captured on location with some of the world's quietest microphones – wind in an ancient forest canopy, the comforting crackle of a fire pit, the warm sonic embrace of a road trip, the waves lapping next to a Hawaiian lanai at night, and more – each held to AAA audio standards in capture and post-production. - Nocturne, a 45-minute original composition that loops seamlessly. Written to settle a newborn – and now, anyone who listens. Layer it under any synthetic color or field recording for a soundscape mix that's entirely yours. These sound good out of your phone speaker. Out of headphones, they sound extraordinary. TAKE IT WITH YOU Somnideck doesn't stop at the app's edge. - You're only ever five taps away from turning your latest masterpiece – be it the old-timey horn on your bike, or your child's bubbly laugh, into a custom ringtone you can keep and use forever. And Somnideck automatically boosts it as loud as it can be, so it stands the best chance of cutting through from your pocket. - For creatives: Export any loop as a seamless WAV with the crossfade baked into the audio, so the loop-point is invisible the moment it lands in Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton, or GarageBand. Normally a complex process in expensive desktop software – Somnideck does it in a handful of taps. STUDIO Studio gives you the full audio creation suite – all 9 field recordings, Nocturne, the complete effects rack, pitch and speed, reverse playback, export, audio import, the sleep timer, and expanded loop storage. The looper, the synthetic noise generator, and one field recording are always free. Available monthly, annually, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. WHO IT'S FOR - Creatives who want a real, inspirational audio sketchpad that lives natively on their phone - Parents at 3 a.m. who need calm, fast - Anyone looking to settle, focus, or wind down at the end of the day PRIVACY Somnideck collects no data. No accounts, no third-party SDKs, no analytics, no tracking. Your recordings stay on your device, and denoise runs locally. A powerhouse that can stay shallow or go as deep as you need. Press record and you're done – or disappear into it for an hour. Both paths are first-class.
