How It Works

ConcertCue is a modern web-based platform. All setup and management is done via a web browser.

Preparation

To prepare a piece for ConcertCue, a few steps are required before the performance:

Enter basic information: piece name, composer, movements, etc…
Upload a PDF of the score
Upload a reference audio file for each movement and align the audio file with the score.
Create the music-aligned content (the “cues”) for each movement, by placing them at specific locations with respect to the score and/or reference audio.

At the Concert

During the concert, a human operator listens to the live music and “taps the downbeats” to create the real-time alignment. This job is akin to a score-reader, or a musician who must follow the conductor along with the rest of the orchestra.

We are also developing autopilot – a machine-listening algorithm that can track the music in real time based on microphone input from the live music.
