About us
Made on stage, for the stage.
We are musicians and musical directors on big shows, and we build software to solve the problems we met every day on the job.
Built out of need.
We didn't start by guessing what musicians might need. We're the ones dealing with those problems ourselves.
Onstage Labs is a team of working musicians who also write software. With years of experience on stage and behind the scenes, we know this industry from the inside.
Each of our tools started with a problem that kept coming up in our own work. We wanted a better answer, so we built it.
SetStage was used at a live concert in front of 95,000 people. We don't just develop these tools, we depend on them ourselves.
What we make.
SetStage
The show controller for Ableton Live. It reads your songs, sections and cues from Live, and lets you run the set from your Mac, a MIDI controller, or an iPhone or iPad.

No subscriptions
You buy it once and it is yours. We dislike renting software by the month as much as you do.
Tools we would buy ourselves
If we would not pay that price for it, or do not believe in what it does, we do not ship it.
Start from a real problem
Every feature began as something that went wrong, or took too long, on a real job.
Calm under pressure
Instant, predictable and clear, especially when the room is loud and the clock is short.
