CueConductor

Conduct to picture with streamers, punches, and click — build cues from MIDI, tap tempo maps from audio. Download by Aug 30, 2026: Pro free for life!

Conduct hybrid orchestral performances and lead recording sessions with stems, click, and scoring video — all locked to one transport, on one screen.

CueConductor is the workstation for conductors, performers, and engineers working where acoustic musicians meet pre-produced tracks. Load a package, hit play, and follow the counter, beat dots, color-coded streamers, and punches in real time. Locate to any measure or rehearsal letter with a single tap. And when the tempo map doesn't exist yet, make one: record or import audio in TempoMapper™, tap along, and turn a live performance into a finished cue. No external click box, no fragile cabling, no surprises in the session.

FEATURES • Load .conductpkg packages: audio stems + click + scoring video • Real-time counter, beat-grouped dots, color-coded streamers, and punches • Single-tap jump to any measure, rehearsal letter, or marker • Per-stem fader and individual mute controls • TempoMapper™: record from any audio interface or import stems, tap the tempo as it plays, and fine-tune beat anchors on the waveform — with transient snapping and a built-in click • CueBuilder™: build packages from a MIDI file, audio stems, and optional scoring video — or send TempoMapper's tempo map, click, and stems straight in with one tap • Save works-in-progress as projects and finish them later — no compile required • Export QLab packages: conductor overlay video, aligned stems, and setup notes for the FOH engineer • Sync to external MTC from Pro Tools or any DAW • Broadcast frame-accurate scoring video to an external display • Stock catalog browser for licensed performance packages

ON THE CONCERT STAGE Place your iPad next to the score, patch it into the hall's PA, and stay in sync with pre-recorded tracks — no click necessary. Watch the counter, streamers, and punches; the orchestra hears only the music. In rehearsal, locate instantly to any measure or rehearsal letter so the ensemble stays together. Display the synchronized scoring video on an external screen for the audience.

Have QLab? No problem — export a QLab package straight from CueConductor: the scoring video with the conductor overlay baked in, every stem numbered for a single drag into your cue list, and setup notes for the FOH engineer. Run the show from QLab and slave CueConductor to its timecode, or simply route the overlay video to the conductor's monitor.

IN THE STUDIO Conductors — patch the control-room headphone mix into your phones alongside your iPad. See tempo, click, and stem playback privately. No interruptions, no confusion for the musicians.

Performers — download the package ahead of the session and preview it. Locate to the tricky bars, hear the cues, walk in prepared.

Engineers — build a CueConductor package directly from the MIDI file, stems, and scoring video you're already running in Pro Tools. Slave CueConductor to your DAW during the session and feed the conductor a frame-accurate counter with built-in latency compensation.

Composers and music directors — no tempo track? Record the performance (or drop in a bounce), tap the beats in TempoMapper, nudge the anchors onto the transients, and bounce a tempo-perfect MIDI map, click, and stems into CueBuilder. Rubato and all. Composed a cue wild, with no click? Tap in its tempo map and now you have one — a click that breathes with your performance, ready for overdub sessions or the podium.

PRICING Free to download with a 30-day trial of all features. After the trial, TempoMapper, CueBuilder, QLab Export, External Video, and External Sync require CueConductor Pro (in-app purchase). Playback, importing, browsing the catalog, projects, and sharing remain free forever.
