LiveMarks: Audio A/B & Studio Bridge

What is LiveMarks: Audio A/B Compare & Studio Bridge? LiveMarks is a standalone mobile audio app for iOS and Android that acts as a bridge between your desktop DAW and real-world listening environments. It features two distinct workflows: Simple Mode and Advanced Mode.

Simple Mode (Record & Mark): For musicians, singers, dancers, students, and everyday recording. Capture crystal-clear uncompressed WAV audio with real-time level meters and clipping protection. Drop time-coded cue markers on the fly during recording or playback, and easily loop sections between markers to practice solos, rehearse choreography, or transcribe parts—distraction-free with zero clutter.

Advanced Mode (Studio Reality Check & Reference): Built for music producers, mix engineers, and sound designers:

Instant A/B Comparison: Seamlessly switch between mix revisions or reference tracks with an instantaneous 50ms equal-power crossfade. Auto LUFS Level Match: Eliminate loudness bias. Automatically balances playback volume across tracks to evaluate real EQ, dynamic range, and compression. Mastering Console: Features Global Target LUFS baseline, makeup gain, Drive meter, and Dynamic Protection (PLR calculation). Wi-Fi Studio & Desktop Bridge: Access your phone’s audio library directly from any desktop browser on your local Wi-Fi network without cables or cloud uploads. Open JSON & DAW Markers: Session cue markers are stored in clean, open JSON (future-proof and AI-agent ready via MCP or custom scripts), plus embedded RIFF cue/adtl WAV export for DAWs like Reaper. Automated File & Project Sync (AI & MCP Ready): Wirelessly sync mix bounces, projects, and cue markers directly to and from your phone via AI coding assistants using Model Context Protocol (MCP) or local REST API. Privacy & Organization:

Universal format support: WAV, MP3, M4A, AAC, and FLAC. 100% offline — zero cloud accounts, zero ads, zero telemetry or tracking. GDPR compliant. Free version available with core features, plus a single one-time Pro unlock for unlimited markers. Absolutely no recurring subscriptions.
