Studio automation

StudioTools turns your DAW's recording state — recording, armed, playing, idle — into actions: the red light outside the booth, a fan that goes quiet, a sign that says “On air”. Each action is a handler.

How handlers work

A handler listens for state changes and does something for each state. You can add as many as you like, of any type, and disable them individually.

Smart lights and devices

Philips Hue

Pair with a Hue Bridge and choose colors and brightness per state.

IKEA Trådfri and Dirigera

Control lights, plugs, blinds and air purifiers through the IKEA gateway or hub.

Matter

Control Matter devices directly, without a vendor hub.

Webhooks and MQTT

Send the state to Home Assistant, Node-RED or any other system: as an HTTP request, or as an MQTT message.

{"recordingstate": "recording"}

Scripts

Run your own AppleScript or shell script on every state change, with the state as an argument.

Inputs: setting the state from outside

Besides the DAW, the WebHook listener and MQTT listener let other systems set the recording state — for example a hardware button or another app.
