Bandwise Radio Lab turns scattered notebooks, voice memos and screenshots into a single structured workspace for people who live on the air. Track frequency conditions, build show rundowns, save processing presets and keep a searchable history of what actually sounded good.
The app does not stream anything and does not replace your receiver, mixer or recorder. It sits next to them and holds the knowledge: which settings you used, which hour of the day the band opened up, which intro read landed, and which chain made the voice sit right. Everything is typed once and stays reusable forever.
Log a session with band, frequency, mode, signal quality, weather, antenna and free-form notes. Entries stack into a timeline you can filter by band or by rating.
Build an hour block by block: cold open, talk segment, music bed, guest call, ad read, outro. Each block carries a target duration and the total updates as you type.
Store gain staging, EQ moves, compression ratio, de-esser strength and limiter ceiling as a named preset, then recall it for the next episode in two taps.
Each module works on its own, but they share the same records, so a note you make while scanning in the morning is one tap away when you are writing the evening rundown.
Keep named entries for the frequencies you return to, grouped by band and purpose, with a colour tag for reliability so a weak channel never surprises you mid-show.
Record time of day, season and conditions next to each session. The lab groups sessions by hour so patterns in when a band opens become visible after a few weeks.
A consistent readability and strength scale keeps subjective impressions comparable between sessions instead of relying on vague words like "decent" or "noisy".
Convert between percentages and decibels, work out headroom against a chosen ceiling, and see how much gain you can add before your peaks hit the limiter.
Count down a talk block, a music bed or an ad read. Overruns are shown in a warm colour so the running total of the hour is always honest.
Write intros, outros, sponsor reads and hand-offs in a clean type layout with adjustable text size, so a phone or tablet works as a script stand.
Store a guest's topic, pronunciation of the name, question list and the connection method used, then reuse the sheet when the same guest returns.
Catalogue your beds and stingers by mood, tempo and length, so choosing a bed for a segment takes seconds instead of a scroll through a folder.
List receivers, microphones, interfaces, cables and antennas with purchase dates and service notes. Anything that fails once gets a history you can check.
Set intervals for cleaning pop filters, checking connectors or re-tensioning an antenna mount, and see what is due on the home screen.
One search field looks through logs, rundowns, presets, guests and gear at once, so a half-remembered detail is enough to find the record.
Close a session and get a compact recap: total air time, block overruns, preset used and rating trend against your previous sessions on the same band.
A realistic run through the app on a normal broadcast day. Nothing here needs a network connection, so the flow is identical in a studio, a shed or a field.
Open the logbook, pick the band, dial through and drop entries as you go. Ratings and short notes are enough — details can be filled in later.
Turn the strongest findings into rundown blocks, assign durations and drag the order until the totals fit the slot you have.
Recall the preset that matches the room and the microphone you are on today, then confirm headroom with the level calculator before you speak.
Use the segment timer live, then close with the session summary and note what to change next time so the next episode starts smarter.
A preset in Bandwise Radio Lab is a small document. It holds the settings, the context they were made in and a plain-language description of what they were trying to fix, which is what makes it useful six months later.
Microphone, distance, pad, and the input gain that gave a clean average level.
High-pass point, mud cut, presence lift and any notch you needed for the room.
Threshold, ratio, attack, release and the amount of reduction you aimed for.
Limiter ceiling, target loudness and a note on how it translated on small speakers.
Weekly slots, rotating co-hosts and shared studios where nobody remembers who moved the settings last Thursday.
Long-term listeners who want their scanning history to become data instead of a pile of paper notes.
Independent shows that need consistent sound across episodes recorded in different rooms and moods.
Campus stations teaching newcomers a repeatable routine rather than improvising every broadcast.
People working far from power and signal, where an app that needs a connection is simply useless.
Anyone who must recreate a client-approved sound weeks after the first session, exactly as it was.

No. It is a workbench, not a player. The app organises your logs, rundowns, presets and gear records while your own receiver, mixer or recorder does the audio work. That is exactly why it stays fast and works with no connection at all.
Neither. There is no registration, no login and no cloud. Everything you type is stored locally on the device, which means the app behaves the same in a studio, in a basement or in a field with no coverage.
All records live in the app's local storage on your device. You can export logs, rundowns and presets as plain text or CSV at any time and keep those copies wherever you like — email, a notes app or a spreadsheet.
Export before you switch, then import the file on the new device. Since the export is readable text, it also serves as a permanent backup that does not depend on the app continuing to exist.
Yes, through export. Send a rundown or a preset as text, and your co-host imports it into their own lab. Nothing is shared automatically, so nobody can overwrite your records without you sending them.
There is no built-in limit beyond your device storage. Entries are small text records, so thousands of sessions still open instantly, and search stays quick as the archive grows.
