Stemly Live Multitrack

Read full description

Stemly is a multitrack audio player built for live performance — for bands, choirs, DJs and solo artists playing to backing tracks and showing lyrics. PLAY YOUR STEMS LIVE Load multichannel audio and route every track to its own output — vocals, click, guide, instruments. Works with any USB audio interface, and without one in Headphone Stereo mode. BUILT-IN EQ ON EVERY CHANNEL A four-band equalizer on every output channel — tap EQ on a fader and drag the four points on the curve. A linked stereo pair shares one EQ, and settings are saved with each song. On headphones and 2-channel outputs the EQ works on outputs 1+2, so you always hear it. JUKEBOX FOR BREAKS A separate offline player with its own queue and playlists, loop and crossfade. Loop any section of a track by marking it on the waveform. Jukebox is locked while a show song is playing, so it can never start over your performance. LYRICS, MATCHED AUTOMATICALLY Lyrics are matched to songs with the same title — the right lyrics appear the moment you pick a song, even without loading backing tracks. You can use lyrics display and sharing on their own, without the player. Send lyrics over Wi-Fi to any phone, tablet or laptop on stage — no app to install, just scan a QR code. CONTROL FROM ANYWHERE Connect the free Stemly Remote app and run your setlist from the other side of the stage — ideal when the iPad is out of reach. (A 5G router is recommended.) BUILT FOR THE STAGE, NOT THE STUDIO One-tap mixer, volume remembered per song, a song queue with position numbers, protected STOP/PLAY, and a clear interface designed for stage lighting — even at 2 a.m. after soundcheck. One-time purchase. Works on all your Apple devices signed in with the same Apple ID — iPhone, iPad and Mac.

The 9 pivot points: Ā· **50 Hz** — Depth & Weight Ā· **100 Hz** — Warmth & Punch Ā· **200 Hz** — Thickness & Mud Ā· **500 Hz** — Boxy & Gargle Ā· **1 kHz** — Nasal & Knock Ā· **2 kHz** — Edge & Clarity Ā· **5 kHz** — Presence & Bite Ā· **10 kHz** — Sizzle & Snap Ā· **20 kHz** — Air & Plastic Each pivot mapped to perceptual adjectives — so you don't just memorize numbers, you learn what they SOUND like. Four training modes: EQ Workbench — Interactive 9-band parametric. Drag nodes vertically for gain, scroll wheel for Q, double-click to reset. Frequencies are locked to the pivot points (that's the whole point). Quiz — Blind pivot trainer. The app boosts or cuts a random pivot on pink noise at Easy / Medium / Hard difficulty. A/B between processed and bypass, then pick the frequency + direction. Scoring tracks your accuracy over time. Listen — A/B reference mode. Set gain and Q on a single pivot, toggle A/B against bypass, and read the "Boost to..." / "Cut to..." cheat sheet. Train your ear by hearing the same EQ move at multiple frequencies. Sweep — Manual sine tone across the spectrum, plus an automatic logarithmic sweep from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with the nearest-pivot readout. Hear the spectrum, build the mental map. Sources: Ā· Pink noise (Paul Kellet generator, 4-second loopable buffer) Ā· Sine tone Ā· Log sweep Ā· Your own audio file Ā· Live microphone (with feedback warning) Hearing safety built in: Three independent ways to instantly stop audio: 1. Mute button — instant silence, playback can resume 2. Stop button — tears down the audio source completely 3. Always: keep your master volume LOW, use headphones at safe levels Sine tones and sweeps are internally attenuated to 15% of full scale. Why is it free? Tomorrow's working sound engineers are today's audio students. We want you to learn properly — not paywalled, not gated, not crippled. No ads. No data harvesting. Just a real tool. Where next? Ā· Surviving Audio — Plan and design PA systems before the show Ā· Soundtools Pro — Real-time tools during the show Three apps, one story: train, plan, execute.
