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.
