AI agent for audio engineers
Recording Session Prep Agent
Sessions ready to record at start time
What it does
A recording session that starts with missing mics or a wrong template wastes paid studio time. Two days before a session, this agent drafts an input list from the booking details: each source, mic, preamp, input number and stand. It checks studio inventory for mic and cable availability and for clashes with other sessions using the same gear. It builds the session template in the recording software with tracks named, routed and colored, and sets up headphone mix sends. Then it checks the template against the input list. Mismatches are fixed and checked again. The engineer approves the plan, and the agent sends a prep sheet to the studio assistant. Edge case: a mic booked for another room at the same time is swapped for the nearest equivalent.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
