Testing Audio using the Audio Test Feature

Step 1: Navigate to your shows.

Open the IGNITE App and tap Shows.

Step 2: Initiate Audio Test.

Select the show you want to test the audio for and tap Audio Test. A new screen will open with audio controls.

Step 3: Listen to audio.

Once on the Audio Test screen tap Start Audio.

Tip:

Using IGNITE LIVE! to play your music? Just open the IGNITE LIVE! app, enter your show code, and tap Listen to Show. This will let you hear the audio test started from your IGNITE app.

At any time during your audio test you can tap Pause Audio to pause the music.

When you're ready to continue testing, tap Resume Audio.

Step 6: Complete test. 

When you are finished testing, tap Stop Audio.

Testing Audio Using a Dry Run

You can test your audio by doing a dry run of your show. This helps you confirm everything is working the way you expect and gives you peace of mind before show day.

For complete steps please see How to Dry Run Your Show.

When you perform your dry run, set up your sound system just like you plan to on show day. You can:

• Connect directly to a speaker from your firing device

• Play through a separate mobile device using IGNITE LIVE!

• Or use a Bluetooth speaker

Tip:

For Bluetooth speakers we recommend pairing the speaker to a separate device from the one running the show. Please see Can I Use a Bluetooth Speaker to Play My Show's Audio? for more information.

As your show plays, listen carefully to make sure your audio is clear and stays in sync.
