Which consoles are supported today?

The current public support surface is X32/M32, Behringer WING, Yamaha CL/QL, DiGiCo SD series, and Allen & Heath dLive.

What does stage·left cost?

stage·left is free forever with watermarked exports and up to 3 saved plots. Pro is $49 one-time.

Can I import an X32 scene file into stage·left?

Yes. stage·left imports .scn files from Behringer X32 and Midas M32 consoles. It reads channel names, colors, and stereo links from the scene file and populates your stage plot and input list automatically.

Does stage·left work offline?

Yes. stage·left is a Progressive Web App that works completely offline in any modern browser. All data is stored locally on your device. You can install it to your home screen on mobile or desktop.

What console file formats does stage·left support?

The current public support surface includes Behringer X32/M32 (.scn), Behringer WING (.scn/.snap), Yamaha CL/QL (.CLF), DiGiCo SD series (.ses), and Allen & Heath dLive (archive). stage·left can import from any of these formats and export to any of them.

The Rosetta Stone for live sound consoles.

The information already exists in your console. Why are we retyping it? stage·left carries channel names, mix names, colors, stereo links, and essential input setup across supported desks. Or start from scratch and generate the supported file there.

Built by a touring pro, not a software company. Free forever with watermark. Pro is $49 one-time.

What Actually Travels

Not every desk parameter. The parts that matter.

When the advance is wrong, soundcheck becomes archaeology. stage·left keeps the structural information intact across supported desks so the band, the patch, and the desk are reading from the same page.

What carries over

Channel names. Mix names. Colors. Stereo links. Essential input setup.

What it saves

Retyping. Bad advances. Wrong scribble strips. The “wait, what did you patch?” part of soundcheck.

Also

Start from scratch, generate the supported file, and walk in with something the desk can actually read.

Why This Exists

A bad plot wastes time. A bad file wastes trust.

Your plot says 24 inputs. The house patched 24. The console file says 28. Now soundcheck starts with a scavenger hunt. That is the problem go·for·show is built around.

Import what you already have

Pull channel identity out of a supported desk file instead of retyping it into a PDF, a note app, and another desk.

Translate the operational layer

Carry the parts of the showfile that actually help the next engineer get moving: names, mixes, colors, stereo logic, and essential input state.

Walk in with one source of truth

The stage plot, input list, and supported desk file line up. Less historical fiction. More actual show prep.

Current Support Surface

Specific desks. Specific value.

This is not “export to any console on earth.” It is a tighter promise than that, and a more useful one. Built for the desks we can stand behind today.

A touring pro who got tired of bad handoff data.

“I built stage·left because I got tired of loading in and discovering the advance was wrong. The source of truth should travel with the show.”

FOH. Playback. Tour management. Fifteen years of typing “Kick In” into desks on multiple continents. That is the voice behind this product, and it should sound like it.
