LiveProfessor

LiveProfessor is a live oriented plugin host for Windows and MacOS.
LiveProfessor makes it easy to create a powerful, portable and flexible effect rack using VST or AU plugins.

The software was developed in close collaboration with experienced audio professionals from live sound, theatre and broadcast, and is now used all over the world.

 

Signal Chains

LiveProfessor 2 comes with a new feature called Signal Chains. A chain is a collection of plugins where all plugins are connected in series. It makes it easy to organize plugins, for example all plugins that process the bass-guitar can be put in the “Bass guitar” chain.

Snapshot automation

LiveProfessor comes with extensive snapshot automation. Seamlessly switch between snapshots that save individual plugin settings, or global snapshots that recover the entire state of a project.

Hardware controllers

LiveProfessor also features an extensive system of hardware controllers, to allow you to control plugin parameters and program functions. We’ve worked hard to make this system as flexible as possible, while at the same time quick and easy to use. What’s more, each control can be tweaked to respond just how you want it to.

Responsive User Interface

LiveProfessor has a nice, dark, customizable user interface and let’s you recall window layouts easily using View Sets and Work Spaces

Cue lists

Cue lists allow you to seamlessly change LiveProfessor’s settings during a live performance. Some of these cues include recalling a snapshot, changing audio routing, sending midi messages, and altering project tempo. You can easily recall these on the fly to get the right settings for each individual song.

Midi Modifiers

Each plugin has a set of powerful Midi Modifiers. These are especially useful for keyboard players, with functions such as transpose, key-zone and filter.

Snapshot Automation

LiveProfessor has extensive snapshot automation. There are two types of snapshots. Global Snapshots store and recall the entire setup, while plugin snapshots contain settings only for a specific plugin, more like presets.

The Global Snapshots can be filtered so that you can decide what should be recalled in each snapshot.

Snapshots can be used together with the cue lists to recall settings during a performance

Signal Chains

In LiveProfessor 2 there are two ways to organize plugins, either as free standing units that you wire up any way you like or as Signal Chains

A chain is a collection of plugins where all plugins are connected in series, and can have anywhere from 1 to 8 channels.

Chains make it easy to organize plugins, for example all plugins that process the bass-guitar can be put in the “Bass guitar” chain.
Drag the plugins to change the order of processing.
Replacing a plugin or bypassing the whole chain is easy.

If you are using plugins that create additional latency, chains can be time aligned to each other.

Cue Lists

As one of the most powerful features of LiveProfessor, the Cue Lists lets you program shows for instant recall of all LiveProfessor settings.
The cue list is built up with different cue types, like “Recall Snapshot”, “Send MIDI” and “Map Controller”. With the many cue types available you can make each cue as simple or complex as you like. The cue list can be stepped through as a sequence, or each can be triggered individually by external gear.

Everything in LiveProfessor can be controlled using the cue list, it can even playback audio files

プラグインホストの雄LiveProfessor
本番中はもとより挙動確認テストでもAudio Perfomansを別枠て見ていると「何をしたらどう負荷がかかるか?」が一目瞭然🙆‍♂️
オフラインミックスとは違うライブならではの仕訳に一役かってくれます!

A little timelapse of Saturday night's #masterfollies2024 show. At this point, all the little bugs and kinks are worked out, and I'm essentially hitting next and making small adjustments. 

I've got ProTools playback to my left, my laptop running Live Professor & my iPad in front of me, and my Live Smaart rig to my right. All of them were linked together in multiple ways to allow MIDI and OSC information to talk between them. 

So when I load a scene on the Midas Pro2, it triggers Pro Tools to start, which then calls presets in KLANG (in ear monitors), starts playback on some raspberry pis that control the LED music staff that spread across the stage, & sends timecode to lighting and video playback. 

My iPad had buttons to pull up my plugin chain in Live Professor for each vocalist, some bypass buttons for Waves Tune & the Midas channel inserts in case of issues, and an emergency "Stop Pro Tools" button. Fun when it all works!
