Features

Everything the vocal booth needs.

Keep your hands free and your eyes on the words. StudioTools Connect follows the session on your Mac in real time.

🎤

Lyrics teleprompter

The lyrics follow the song as it plays, with the current stanza highlighted — in Scroll, Split or Focus mode.

⏯️

Remote transport

Play, stop, record, rewind and fast forward from your iPhone or iPad, and see at a glance whether the DAW is recording. With the video recorder on, the camera starts with the take.

⏱️

Live timecode

The current position in bars and beats or minutes and seconds, exactly as your DAW shows it.

📡

Finds your Mac

Your Mac shows up automatically on the local network. Connect to several Macs and the app remembers them.

🎭

Try it without a Mac

A built-in demo mode plays a sample song with lyrics, so you can see how it works before setting anything up.

🔒

Private by design

Everything stays on your local network. No cloud, no account, no tracking.

Never miss a line.

Write and time your lyrics in the StudioTools lyrics editor on the Mac. Connect shows them on your iPhone or iPad, in step with the DAW.

  • Split — the current stanza and the next one, side by side.
  • Focus — only the current stanza, in large text that is readable from a distance.

Works with timing in bars and beats (Logic Pro) or minutes and seconds (Pro Tools).
