What it is

Measure Live is aimed at professional live sound reinforcement and venue modeling teams. The current page includes products such as System Plot, Measure Live Spatial, and LF Alignment vs Crowd. It is not a general-purpose developer tool, but rather vertical audio workflow software focused on engineering calculations and data conversion: turning prediction software, on-site measurements, and engineering reports into rigging cards, spatial models, and delay recommendations.

Core capabilities

System Plot centers on line array rigging geometry. It can calculate pick point coordinates, motor loads, Hook Height, Delta-plate markings, and Swing Angle, and generate Fly Cards and Ground Support Cards for each array group. It supports PDF/HTML output and cloud sharing for viewing on phones or tablets. The page mentions presets for mainstream line array systems such as L-Acoustics and Adamson, while also allowing manual entry.

Measure Live Spatial is more focused on venue spatial modeling, with 2D/3D viewing and editing, import/export for DAE, DXF, OBJ, and TXT, and PDF output for Deployment Plots. It can connect to TruPulse laser rangefinders via USB/Bluetooth and import 3D room data from L-Acoustics SoundVision. LF Alignment vs Crowd is an online low-frequency alignment tool that provides Ground/Flown sub delay recommendations based on temperature and humidity, crowd density, distance zones, and measured phase/amplitude, with PDF report export.

Pricing and ecosystem

The page does not disclose official pricing, subscription terms, or perpetual licensing; it only shows a 50% discount code, NEWUSER1876. API/SDK availability, open source status, and self-hosting are not stated. In terms of ecosystem, it is tied to SoundVision, TruPulse, line array manufacturer data, and a planned future Smaart Phase import feature, making it more suitable for teams that already have a professional audio software workflow.

Pros, cons, and who it is for

Its advantage is a tightly focused workflow: it can reduce manual transcription errors between design and rigging execution, and quickly distribute documentation to the on-site crew. The downside is that several modules are marked Coming Soon, Alpha, or Future Dev Plan, leaving questions around maturity, support, and licensing transparency. It is suitable for touring system engineers, PA technicians, riggers, and large-venue measurement teams; ordinary developers or small event teams may have little need for it.

Access from China

The page does not provide information on access from mainland China, payment methods, or local alternatives, so this remains unknown. If access or payment is restricted, teams may continue using a combination of SoundVision, Smaart, CAD/Vectorworks, and self-built spreadsheets as alternatives, though automation and mobile distribution would need to be handled separately.
