desklate

Your show file, on the desk they gave you.

Upload a show from one mixing console and get it back for another brand: names, colours, gain, filters, EQ, dynamics, faders and monitor sends.

How it works

You see exactly what will transfer before you pay. Nothing is guessed silently.

  1. Upload your show

    Export the scene or show file from your console or its offline editor and drop it in.

  2. Check the preview

    Every channel is listed with its settings, plus a report of anything that was rounded or left behind.

  3. Download and check offline

    Open the new file in the target desk's offline editor, confirm patching, save, and load it on the console.

Supported desks

Each desk is tested against real show files saved on the hardware. New desks are added as their tests pass.

Questions

Will it sound exactly the same?

No converter can promise that. EQ curves, compressors and preamps behave differently on every desk. Desklate carries over the values so you start from your mix instead of a blank file, then you trim by ear.

What doesn't transfer?

Effects and plug-in settings, I/O patching to stageboxes, and anything the target desk does not have. The report lists each of these for your show before you pay.

The target desk has fewer channels or mixes than mine.

Channels and mixes transfer in order until the desk is full. The report names every one that didn't fit.

Can I convert between two desks of the same brand?

Yes, where the manufacturer does not already offer a free converter for that pair.
