Features

Phone-to-Plugin in Seconds

Each instance generates a unique QR code. Scan it with your phone, take a photo of your compressor settings or mic placement, and it lands straight in the plugin, no cables, no file transfers, no leaving the studio chair.

4 Photo Slots Per Instance

Document every angle. Front panel, rear connections, mic position, room placement. Four slots per instance so you capture the full picture. Zoom, pan, and rotate each image independently.

Session Notes

Write down gain staging values, patch notes, signal chain details, or anything that won’t survive a photo. Edit from the plugin or from your phone, syncs in real time.

One Instance Per Channel

Drop Big Notes on every track that touches hardware. Vocals get the mic setup and preamp settings. Drums get the compressor and room photos. Guitar gets the pedal board and amp config. Open the session six months later and recall everything.

Light & Dark Themes

Switch between light and dark mode to match your DAW or the studio lighting. The phone upload page follows the same theme automatically.

How it works

Three steps to total recall

Drop it on a track

Insert BIG NOTES on any channel that uses hardware — outboard, amps, pedals, mics, synths. One instance per signal path.

Scan, snap, done

Scan the QR code with your phone. Take photos of your gear settings. They appear in the plugin instantly — saved with the session.

Recall anytime

Open the session weeks or months later. Every knob position, every mic placement, every patch — right there on the track where you need it.
