TalkBoard

Control your audio console
with your voice.

TalkBoard connects you, your console, and the power of AI. Your workflow just got a hell of a lot faster — so you can focus on what matters.

A desktop app for macOS and Windows. Easily build intelligent macros. Try it free with 15 one-time demo requests on our built-in AI — no API keys, nothing to configure — then pick the plan that fits your gigs.

The first AI chat to connect and control your audio console
Stream Deck

Your macros, on real buttons.

Build a macro by talking, then drag it onto a key in the built-in editor — five virtual decks to design on before you even plug one in. No Elgato software, no plugins. No deck? Every macro binds to keyboard hotkeys too.

Ask for the macro in chat — then drag it onto a key, and it’s live on your deck
An AI assistant for your mixing console

One sentence. Infinite commands.

Talk or type to your desk

"Create a Macro that automates a pan for my Guitar from hard left to hard right, and back over 7 seconds." or "Pull 300Hz out of the Piano at about -3db with a medium Q." Naming, faders and mutes, mute groups, DCAs, buses and sends, EQ (high-pass, shelves, parametric), gates and compressors, routing, scenes and snapshots, phantom power (X32/M32 and Qu) and FX (X32/M32) — turned into real console commands, by voice or keyboard.

Stream Deck macros

Build multi-step macros — mutes, scene recall, timed fades — and fire them from one button. The macro engine itself is deterministic: no AI at runtime.

Confirm, then undo

Undo the last change on X32/M32, or switch on Show Mode so every AI change waits for your confirmation before it's sent. For shows, macro hotkeys mode disables typing and fires only your saved macros from hotkeys.

Works with your editor

TalkBoard runs on your Mac or PC and remote-controls the console over your network — the same connection X32-Edit and M32-Edit use. Point it at the editor on your own computer to build shows and prep scenes without hardware.

Show Mode

Live show? Nothing happens without your yes.

Flip on Show Mode (Settings → General) and every AI change is held as a confirmation card: you see exactly what will be sent — and to exactly which console — and nothing touches the desk until you press Execute. Commands aimed at every console always ask first, even with Show Mode off.

See it before it’s sent

Every command on the card, risk-flagged, with the target rooms named — a misheard word gets caught on screen, not on the PA.

One press to undo

Changed your mind after Execute? Undo the last AI change on the X32 and M32 families — something the console itself doesn’t have.

Show-night lockdown

Macro hotkeys mode disables typing entirely — keys fire only your saved, deterministic macros. AI output can be wrong; Show Mode exists so you review it first.

Supported consoles

Talk to your mixing console.

Voice control for Behringer X32, Midas M32, Yamaha QL/CL and Allen & Heath Qu consoles — speak or type a command and TalkBoard sends it to the desk. More consoles are in development.

Behringer WING and Soundcraft Si are in development. Console names are trademarks of their respective owners; TalkBoard is not affiliated with or endorsed by any console manufacturer.

FAQ

Questions engineers ask.

What is TalkBoard?

TalkBoard is a desktop app for macOS and Windows that turns plain English — spoken with push-to-talk, or typed — into real commands for your digital mixing console: Behringer X32 family, Midas M32 family, Yamaha QL1/QL5/CL5, and Allen & Heath Qu-16/24/32. It’s an AI assistant for your console, not an auto-mixer.

Which mixing consoles does TalkBoard support?

Behringer X32, X32 Producer and X32 Rack; Midas M32, M32R and M32C; Yamaha QL1, QL5 and CL5; Allen & Heath Qu-16, Qu-24 and Qu-32. You can also point it at X32-Edit / M32-Edit on your own computer as a virtual console. Behringer WING and Soundcraft Si support are in development.

Can I really control my console with my voice?

Yes. Hold the spacebar and say what you want — "name channels 1 to 8 RF1 to RF8, color them blue, high-pass at 140" — and TalkBoard turns it into real console commands. You can type the same requests instead whenever a mic isn't practical.

Do I need an OpenAI or other API key?

No. TalkBoard ships with its own built-in AI — download it, sign in, and you get 15 free demo requests with nothing to configure.

Is it safe to use on a live show?

You stay in charge: switch on Show Mode and every AI change waits for your confirmation before it touches the desk, and undo is available on X32/M32. For shows, macro hotkeys mode disables typing so hotkeys fire only your saved, deterministic macros (spacebar voice input stays available). AI output can be wrong — review what it sends on a live system.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Saved Stream Deck macros run locally and work offline. The AI itself runs in the cloud, so voice and text commands need an internet connection.

Can TalkBoard talk back to me?

On Pro and Unlimited, TalkBoard reads its replies aloud in a voice you choose — handy when your eyes are on the stage and your hands are on the faders.

How much does it cost?

Free to try with 15 one-time demo requests. Basic is $5/month (300 AI requests), Pro is $10/month (750 requests plus spoken replies), and Unlimited is $20/month with no monthly request cap, subject to fair use. Prices include tax.

Is there a phone or iPad app?

No. TalkBoard runs on macOS and Windows computers only — there is no iPhone, iPad or Android version. It controls the console over your network from the laptop or desktop at the desk.

Is this like Siri or Alexa for my sound board?

Same idea — say what you want and it happens — but TalkBoard is a desktop app built for digital mixing consoles (the sound board or sound desk at the back of the room). Voice is push-to-talk: hold the spacebar. It isn’t connected to Siri or Alexa.

Does TalkBoard mix the show for me?

No. It executes the instructions you give it — faders, EQ, mutes, scenes — faster than menu-diving. You still decide what the mix needs. It’s an assistant, not an engineer.

Does it work with the Behringer Wing, XR18, or Allen & Heath SQ?

Not yet. Supported today: the Behringer X32 family, Midas M32 family, Yamaha QL1/QL5/CL5, and Allen & Heath Qu-16/24/32 — plus X32-Edit/M32-Edit as virtual consoles. Behringer Wing and Soundcraft Si support are in development; the X-Air series (XR18) and A&H SQ are not supported.
