I'm a DJ/producer who also shoots video, does photography, and builds apps + websites.
Most of my projects would require 10 apps to get the right visuals for any of my music, it took forever, and I usually ended up getting stuck with generic assets. FRCTL was the answer to my own problems.
So how's it different from what's already out there?
Live visuals have always meant a pro VJ tool like Resolume, Synesthesia or TouchDesigner. Those are powerful, and I respect them, but they're desktop installs with a real learning curve. The pro versions cost hundreds at a minimum, and they need a dedicated machine and someone who knows how to run it. That keeps audio-reactive visuals locked to the main stage.
FRCTL has deep features, but super easy to use and runs smoothly in a browser tab. Any laptop plugged into any screen or projector becomes a visual rig in minutes. The free tier includes live mode, and commercial use starts at $12/month. Once it's that cheap and portable, you can put visuals anywhere:
Festivals: Interactive art installs, chill-zone projections and art car screens that react to whatever's playing, without hiring a VJ for every corner of the grounds.
Concerts and brand activations: Easily spin up live camera capture with subject tracking for photobooths that run guests through trippy, beat-synced effects with the sponsor's logo built in, so every shared clip is marketing.
Clubs and venues: Audio-reactive branding on any screen in the building. Your logo and/or the night's lineup in motion from the music creating more attention than static logos.
Artists: The same looks become your cover art, Spotify Canvas loops and social clips, and you can sell them as presets on the Collective marketplace.
If you're a DJ, a visual artist, an event producer or a venue owner who's been priced out of good visuals, I built this for you.
