VS Live Pro Manual

What happens when I open the app?

• The app opens the splash screen, loads the language and goes through authentication before releasing the main screen.
• After login, the app checks the plan, license, device and enables the features compatible with the account.

Why does the app sometimes ask for internet?

• Playback works offline, but login, license, subscription, manual license and community require internet.
• When periodic verification is required, the app shows a screen asking for connection until it validates again.

How do I change the app language?

• Open the app menu, expand the Language section and choose PT, EN or ES.

Does the screen stay on during the show?

• Yes. The app keeps the screen on while it is open to prevent locking during the performance.

Where should I place my music files?

• Copy or move your music files to a folder on the device.
• Then, in VS Live Pro, tap Select Folder and choose the exact folder where the files are saved.
• If you choose the wrong folder, above or below the actual audio folder, the songs may not appear in the library.

Which file organization formats does the app recognize?

• VS Live Pro recognizes songs in Stereo Split (L/R) and also in Multitrack with separate files per channel.
• In both cases, keep the files inside the same folder selected in the app.
• Use clear file names to make identification easier in the library and queue.

How does Stereo Split (L/R) work?

• Stereo Split means the backing track and click are in the same audio file, separated by channel: one side with the backing track and the other side with the click.
• In this case, the file is a normal song file, for example: SONG NAME.mp3.
• After selecting the folder, the app lists the song in the library so you can add it to the playback queue.
• If the click is on the wrong side, use the invert channels button on the song. This setting is saved for that song/setlist until you add or configure it again.

How does Multitrack work?

• Multitrack means each instrument, guide, voice, click or channel is in a separate file.
• For the app to automatically group everything, all files from the same song must have the same base name.
• The channel name must be placed in parentheses at the end of the file name.
• You can use up to 16 channels per song, including CLICK.

How should I name Multitrack files?

• Always use the same base name for all files from the same song.
• After the base name, put the channel name in parentheses.
• Example: SONG NAME (CLICK).mp3
• Example: SONG NAME (KEYS).mp3
• Example: SONG NAME (GUITAR).mp3
• Example: SONG NAME (PERCUSSION).mp3
• The app understands that these files belong to the same song and groups everything automatically.

Can I choose any name inside the parentheses?

• Yes. You can use names such as CLICK, BASS, DRUMS, KEYS, GUITAR, PERCUSSION, GUIDE VOICE or any other name that helps your organization.
• The key point is to keep the same base name before the parentheses.
• Correct example: MY SONG (CLICK).mp3 and MY SONG (BASS).mp3.
• Problematic example: MY SONG (CLICK).mp3 and MY NEW SONG (BASS).mp3, because the base name is not the same.

What should I do after the songs appear in the library?

• Tap a song in the library to add it to the playback queue.
• Then, if needed, add pauses to the repertoire.
• When there is a pause in the queue, playback will pause automatically and wait for Play to continue.
• Use the player controls, PADS, volumes, BUS and Stems to run the live show.

Tips to avoid recognition problems

• Keep all files from the same song in the same folder.
• Avoid renaming or moving files after saving setlists.
• Check that the base name is exactly the same in Multitrack files.
• Use audio extensions compatible with the app.
• Before the show, open the folder in the app, add the songs to the queue and test playback calmly.

How do I load my songs?

• Tap the library button and select the folder where your files are located.
• The app prepares the list and saves the folder to make future access easier.

What should I do if the folder appears empty?

• Check that the files are actually inside the selected folder.
• Avoid selecting a folder above or below the real audio folder.

Can I change the folder later?

• Yes. Open the library again and select another folder.
• After that, check your setlists, because moved or renamed files may not be found.

What happens if a song disappears from the device?

• The app identifies that the file is not available and reports the problem instead of getting stuck in infinite loading.

How do I build the queue?

• Tap songs in the library to add them to the queue.
• Organize the order before the show to reduce risk on stage.

What does the queue save?

• The queue saves name, path, duration, played status, L/R inversion, stereo split mode and stems when multitrack is available.
• This information is also included in saved setlists.

How do I know the total show time?

• The app calculates the total duration of the queue/setlist.
• Programmed pauses appear in the playback queue and in the repertoire PDF.

Is there a song limit in the queue?

• FREE: smaller limit to try the app.
• 7-day access: larger limit.
• Recurring Pro: songs and setlists with no practical limit.

What is PLAY for?

• Starts the selected song or resumes paused playback.
• Use it before the beginning of each track or after a pause.

What is the difference between PAUSE and STOP?

• PAUSE keeps the current song position.
• STOP ends playback and returns to the stopped state.

What does NEXT do?

• Advances to the next song or next queue action.
• After a programmed pause, use NEXT to continue the repertoire.

What appears at the end of the show?

• When the queue reaches the end, the app shows the end-of-show screen.
• Tap the screen to close the message.

How does two-finger volume control work?

• Touch a compatible area with 2 fingers at the same time.
• Rotate both fingers as if you were turning a physical knob/potentiometer.
• Turning clockwise increases the gain.
• Turning counterclockwise lowers the gain.
• The app shows the TRACK MASTER overlay with the dB value while you adjust it.

Where can I use this feature?

• On the empty area of the main app screen.
• On the Stems area, after tapping a song in the playback queue.
• On the PADS area.

How do I use it on the main screen?

• On the main screen, touch an empty area with 2 fingers, away from the main buttons.
• Keep both fingers on the screen and rotate them like a knob.
• This adjusts the TRACK MASTER for the current/selected song by changing the overall stem gain.

How do I use it in the Stems area?

• Tap a song in the playback queue to open the Stems area.
• In the Stems area, touch with 2 fingers and rotate like a knob.
• This adjusts the TRACK MASTER for that song while keeping the overall stem balance and saving the gain in dB.

How do I use it on the PADS screen?

• On the PADS screen, touch the pads area with 2 fingers.
• Rotate both fingers like a knob to raise or lower the TRACK MASTER for the active/selected song.
• This shortcut lets you correct volume quickly without leaving PADS navigation.

What does this control change?

• The gesture adjusts the song overall gain in dB, like a TRACK MASTER.
• The value is limited between -36.0 dB and +36.0 dB.
• Near 0 dB, the app may snap the value to 0.0 dB to make it easier to return to the original volume.

When should I use it carefully?

• During a live performance, use small and smooth rotations to avoid sudden volume changes.
• Always test the gesture before the show so you get used to the knob response.

How do I open PADS?

• Tap the grid icon on the main screen.
• Each song in the queue becomes a visual PAD.

What happens with 2 taps on a PAD?

• Double-tapping a song PAD plays that song directly.
• Use this when you want to start a specific song immediately from the PADS screen.

What happens with 1 tap on the active PAD?

• Tapping the active PAD opens the Restart and Stop options.
• Use Restart to start the current song again from the beginning.
• Use Stop to stop the current playback.

What happens with 1 tap on a non-active PAD?

• Tapping a non-active song PAD opens the option to set it as the next song.
• This lets you prepare the next song without starting it immediately.

How does the active pause PAD work?

• When you tap the active Pause PAD, the app opens the option to play the next song.
• Use this option to leave the pause and continue the repertoire.

How does a non-active pause PAD work?

• When you tap a non-active Pause PAD, the app opens the option to set that pause as next.
• This lets you prepare the next stop in the show without starting anything immediately.

Can I reorder the queue using PADS?

• Yes. Tap and hold the PAD you want to move.
• While holding the PAD, drag it to the new position in the queue.
• Release the PAD when it is in the correct place.
• Use this mainly while preparing the repertoire before the show.
• During a live performance, use it carefully to avoid changing the order by mistake.

What is BUS?

• BUS is the internal output used by the app to separate backing track, click, guide and stems.
• The app works with Multi BUS and adapts the BUSes to the real number of channels in the current output.

Why do not all BUSes appear?

• The app shows only the BUSes possible for the current output.
• If the native output has few channels, fewer BUSes are available. With a multichannel interface, more BUSes may appear.

Are the volumes independent?

• Yes. Each BUS can have independent volume.
• Changes are applied in real time and can be saved.

Does routing change when switching interface?

• The app adapts routing according to the number of available channels.
• When returning to the native output, incompatible routes are adjusted to the real output.

Does the app recognize multitrack?

• Yes. VS Live Pro recognizes stems from the same song and organizes the channels for multitrack playback.
• Stems such as click receive special ordering and routing handling.

What can I adjust per stem?

• On each stem/channel, you can adjust BUS, enable/disable Mute, use Solo when available and control individual gain in dB.
• Stem gain can go from -36 dB to +36 dB.

How do I change the BUS of a stem?

• Tap the song inside the playback queue to open the Stems area.
• Locate the channel/stem you want to send to another output.
• Use the BUS selector on the channel itself to choose the correct destination, according to the BUSes available on the current output or connected interface.
• The app adapts BUS options to the real number of channels available on the device or interface.

How do I adjust the individual volume of a stem?

• In the Stems area, tap and hold the channel/stem you want to adjust.
• When holding the channel, the app lets you change the individual volume/gain of that stem.
• Use this when you need to increase or decrease only one instrument, voice, click, guide or cue track without changing the overall song volume.
• This control is different from the two-finger TRACK MASTER: here the adjustment is individual to the selected stem/channel.

What is the Mute button for?

• The Mute button silences only that stem/channel.
• Use Mute to temporarily remove an instrument, voice, click, guide or any specific channel from playback.
• When Mute is disabled, the stem plays again according to the configured volume, gain and BUS.

Are the settings saved?

• Yes. The app saves BUS, mute, solo and gain per song.
• When opened again, the settings are automatically reapplied.

What if the file is not a real multitrack?

• The app can handle stereo split files, creating a practical separation between backing track and click when applicable.

How do I separate click and backing track?

• In stereo split files, one side can contain the backing track and the other the click.
• In real multitrack, separation is done by stem/channel.

What is Invert L/R for?

• Quickly corrects when the backing track and click are on the wrong sides.
• The setting is saved automatically.

Can the click go to a specific BUS?

• Yes. The click can be routed to the desired BUS, according to the available output.
