Audio Engineer’s mobile studio

The Lively Audio Manager (LAM) is a patent-pending mobile audio capture/upload tool that allows the user to capture a stereo feed from a live performance, split it into individual tracks, and upload m4a files of each track directly to the Lively server for distribution through the Lively mobile app. In addition, Lively software associates the newly created live recording with its master track ID, automating publishing.

Engineer Testimonials


"While on tour, recording every show is crucial to sustaining a high performance level. The Lively Audio Manager makes recording every show easy while also ensuring amazing quality. Now not only can we listen back to the shows, we can also share them with Kelley’s fans; a tremendous asset for any touring artist."

− Jordan Elsamiller, Engineer for Kelley James

"Using Lively has been a breeze and yielded amazing recordings. As an engineer the application is simple and wonderfully stable. As a promoter for a venue, I love the ability to show off our world class sound and room on the international. It's a feather in our cap. Every band we have recorded have been extremely pleased with the results and have put it at the center of their own promo efforts. Lively's service is a win for everyone involved and brings a decades old show sharing model to the tech generation with style."

− Daniel Schwartz, Production Manager at The Hamilton Live, Washington, DC

"When I was first introduced to Lively, I was literally told 2 days before we left on a month long tour across the country that I would be recording every show. To be honest, I was a bit nervous considering I didn't even know how it would be done. After meeting with the crew and seeing how simple and easy it was, I thought there had to be something missing. 'That's it? I just plug in and hit record?'

The Lively Audio Manager is by far the most simple tool I have used for recording shows at a great quality. The setup is so simple that I found more issues with consoles and venues we played before I found 1 issue with the app. The crew answered any questions I had within seconds of me asking. What is more awesome than plugging in, hitting record, and listening to a mastered show you just recorded within days? Anything from 2 tracks to 102 tracks can all be setup in the blink of an eye. Most things need a good test run before they get things correct. In my opinion, Lively has nailed it. And it's crazy to think its only going to improve!"

− Ryan Ricketts, FOH engineer for the Lonely Forest
