Allen & Heath, in conjunction with Harrison Audio, has announced the launch of Harrison LiveTrax, a new multitrack recording and virtual soundcheck software solution designed for simplicity, stability, and seamless integration with Allen & Heath mixers.
“For many sound engineers, live recording is a critical task undertaken in a high-pressure environment,” said Keith Johnson, Senior Product Manager at Allen & Heath. “Unless you have the luxury of a dedicated crew and recording rig, you want a dependable and straightforward solution. Harrison LiveTrax is designed specifically for this task, while adding a new level of integration with our consoles beyond basic transport control, making LiveTrax the obvious choice for Allen & Heath users.”
With no limit on track count, LiveTrax is built to capture performances of all sizes, from intimate weekend shows to large-scale events, prioritising peace of mind for the engineer. A resizable ‘big clock’ and a dedicated Meterbridge window with oversized meters and record-arm indicators allow you to verify active recording from any vantage point. You can also easily track CPU usage, Disk I/O, and Remaining Record Time, while the ‘System Lock’ feature prevents unintended keypresses during recording.
As well as audio, LiveTrax captures scene changes from Allen & Heath consoles and inserts them as markers on the timeline, ready for virtual soundcheck and timecode automation. Additionally, LiveTrax can sync track names with dLive, Avantis, and Qu mixers, with support for CQ and SQ models coming soon. Timecode sync, transport control, MIDI, and OSC compatibility enable integration into large touring rigs and complex show automation systems.
LiveTrax can open sessions created in Waves Live Tracks and can export sessions to Harrison’s Mixbus DAW.
