Trace the outline in one stroke. The top of the box faces the director. Size doesn't matter: the shape is scaled to fit the section's players × sq ft each, and players are spread evenly inside it.
Uses the same players and mic choices, then moves the field sections into a new formation. Your current layout is saved first.
Loads a complete stage layout and replaces the current stage scene only. Football-field and floor-grid scenes stay untouched.
Drag to move · Ctrl/⌘-drag to rotate · right-drag to resize. Tap a section for its settings in the Inspector.
Pattern size is set per mic: select a mic to change its reach or sensitivity scaling.
Search, or filter any column (contains, any case). Specs are approximate published figures; check the maker's sheet before relying on them.

Track = interface input. DigiMax D8 1–7 take the unpadded condensers (pad on); channel 8 is dead and stays blank. ADA8000 #1 = 9–16, #2 = 17–24, #3 (the spare) = 25–32. Cable need = distance × 1.12 + stand height + 2 ft. Sound levels are rough estimates for comparing spots, not calibration.
Used for instrument spectra, the spectrum compare, mic frequency response and the spectra drawn on the field.

The full list with notes lives in BACKLOG.md next to this file.
Real 1/3-octave levels (31 bands, 20 Hz–20 kHz) measured from whatever is playing: a demo, your own file or the microphone. Newest sound is at the top; it scrolls down over time.
Best-guess activity per instrument family from the recording's frequency content. Drums come from sharp hits; winds from sustained tone in each register. Sections in the same family (e.g. trumpet parts) move together.
Keep any placement as a separate snapshot. Restoring one first saves the layout you are leaving. Download a backup to keep it outside this browser.
Drag to move anything except the director and the field markings. Ctrl/⌘-drag a section to rotate it; right-drag a section to resize it. Hover cables, mics and meters for details. Del removes the selected mic or meter; Esc deselects.
Drag a window's tab or title bar onto a highlighted edge to dock it there, onto another window to add it as a tab, or anywhere else to float it. The pin button collapses a docked window to the edge; hover the edge tab to slide it out, and pin it again to dock it. The ✕ hides a window; bring it back from the Window menu.
Drag to orbit, right-drag or Shift-drag to pan, wheel to zoom, double-click to orbit round a spot, W A S D / arrows to fly, Q / E to go down and up.
A practical starting point, not a substitute for listening in the room. Search for a source, select a setup, then choose any mic from your locker for each position.
Drag to orbit, right-drag or Shift-drag to pan, scroll to zoom, double-click to refocus. The camera stays above the floor.
