Measurement bench

Play test signals, and drop in recordings to read their level, loudness and spectrum, or an impulse response to get reverb time. Files are analysed in your browser and never uploaded.

Output

Level −24 dBFS

Sine: peak level. Noise: RMS level. Start low, then bring your monitors up.

Reverb time from an impulse response

A balloon pop, clapper or deconvolved sweep recorded in the room. Leave a second or two of room noise after the decay.

Sketch pad

Draw ideas, mic plots and stage layouts, or draw a graphic score and play it: height is pitch (C2 to C7), left to right is time, colour is timbre, line weight is level.

Notebook

Session notes, ideas and logged results from the calculators and the bench, plus a take log for location and studio days.

Planner

Sessions, shoots, gigs and deliveries. Give a card a date to see it in the next two weeks, and add a checklist for the kit and steps it needs.
