REALIVE7 configuration

The computer follows the band.

Most backing-track setups ask the band to follow the computer. One long timeline, one fixed arrangement, and everyone hoping nobody deviates.

REALIVE turns that around. Your setlist stays loaded, every song ready to go, and you move through it live — repeat a chorus because the room is still singing, hold a vamp while someone changes a string, skip to the outro because you're out of time. Without ever dropping a beat.

Your setlist, not one giant timeline

Every song is its own project. No 10,000-measure session that one tempo change can break, and no long painful load before a show.

Build a setlist of up to a thousand songs, reorder it by dragging, and save, duplicate or rename it in seconds. Any song is one keypress away.

Songs can overlap, so one starts while another is still ringing out — real segues, crossfades and continuous sets, not a gap and a fade.

Change the arrangement while you play

Line up any section while the current one keeps playing, then commit. REALIVE waits for the right musical moment and jumps cleanly.

Loop a section for as long as you need. Jump back to a chorus. Move to a different song mid-song. Change tempo or key on the fly and the tracks follow, on the beat.

When something goes wrong

It will, eventually. That's what this part is for.

Put the cursor where the band actually is and hit Return — playback moves there and usually nobody notices. If they've lost the beat entirely, solo the click and turn the song around underneath them. If your interface drops out, one button gets playback running again.

Everything else follows the song

Click and spoken guide cues generated automatically from your markers, in English, French and Spanish, with separate mixes for band and vocalists.

Lyrics on screen and on any phone or tablet as a prompter. Lighting and video cues fired from the timeline. ProPresenter kept in step. SMPTE timecode out to anything that needs it. Live Auto-Tune that follows the song's key — running in its own app, so a plugin crash can't take your show down.

Built for the room

One routing project feeds the entire show, so moving the click from outputs 3–4 to 5–6 is one change, not one per song. Run a line check and walk the stage while REALIVE announces each output in turn.

Control it from the keyboard, a foot pedal, a MIDI controller, or a phone on the same network.

Mac and Windows. Built on REAPER.

Whether it's a stadium in front of 50,000 or a club date in front of 50, REALIVE delivers the goods — simple enough to run without training, solid enough for the most demanding show.
