270. Live Engineers, ProdCom Developers Justin Tyre & Stephen Bailey

Signal To Noise Podcast

In Episode 270, the hosts are joined by live sound engineers and software developers Justin Tyre and Stephen Bailey, who earlier this year launched ProdCom, new software for the live event industry that provides real-time multichannel text transcriptions of talkback mics, intercom chatter, or any other audio fed into a MacOS computer. This episode is sponsored by Allen & Heath and RCF.
Stephen and Justin talk about how the idea came about as a way to make their own work as live sound engineers easier, walk Sean and Andy through how it works, and provide a sneak peek at some of what they have planned for the future of ProdCom. They are also generous enough to offer both an extended trial of ProdCom as well as a free one year subscription for a few lucky listeners, so make sure to listen all the way to the end for details on how to enter!
Justin has been creating software for live production environments for the past decade. Over the years, he’s also worked live events in multiple capacities, including audio engineering and graphics. At ProdCom, he brings together his two passions — software creation and audio engineering — merging them to improve communication in live production environments. He lives in Georgia with his wife, two kids, and their energetic Aussiedoodle.
Stephen has an extensive career as both live and post-production mix engineer for a long list of artists, including Chris Tomlin, Crowder, Daughtry, and many others, and as festival FOH engineer for main stages at Coachella, Panorama, and the Buckeye Country Superfest, among others. He’s also worked providing support and training for numerous notable pro audio brands, including DirectOut, DiGiCo, and Waves SoundGrid.
