StagePass is an incredible new way to experience your music. Listen to any of your music as if you are sitting in the audience at any of the included world class venues. StagePass recreates all the subtle nuances of each venue in rich three dimensional sound using state of the art spatial audio processing.

StagePass is the culmination of two years of breakthrough developments in binaural acoustic measurement. Using a custom designed binaural microphone, StagePass is able to achieve unprecedented localization, soundstage, imaging, and clarity in recreating the acoustics of venues. Put your headphones on and visualize each spaces expanse, textures, the stage in front of you, and be taken away by the music.

Design your own experience. Listen to your favorite local artists rock out at large theaters and concert halls. Take the Rock Stars back to their roots on the small club circuit. The possibilities are endless.

Our team is on the road, in the venues, capturing the sweet spots in every room so you always have the best seat in the house. We will continue to add the greatest venues as we capture them.

Pros and cons of StagePass app for iPhone and iPad

StagePass app good for

kind of a pointless app but its pretty cool if you want to hear your favorite bands with some cool acoustics which you would get from seeing them love. worth the 1$

Great app! But needs work does not play most of my song list which is disappointing. Also for some odd reason. It wont allow me to listen to the sample music.

Some bad moments

Needs a complete app overhaul and a new sound engine. Doesnt have support for songs stored in the cloud and is based on the design of iOS 5 which completely lacks the controls which we all love in control center. Search and Seek are not supported either! No options for shake to skip or any other cool feature modern apps have. The developer is unresponsive and in an age where Apple creates an iPad Pro why is there no iPad support? All of these issues and more show this app deserves no stars!

I was a bit skeptical but this app is outstanding. Fantastic tonal qualities and spot on to the venues Ive visited. Its nice to really hear the differences and the subtle (and some not so subtle) nuances of a given venue. I only have one suggestion... The Gorge at George, WA!!!

I found this app this morning and decided to give it a try. I listen to my headphones while doing laundry, on the bus or at the gym. I didnt expect to be impressed but... There was a cool breeze while I was at the bus stop today and it really felt like I was watching Bombay Bicycle Club at Red Rocks. Ill be listening to my iPod through Stage Pass from now on! I love that i can switch to any venue on there mid song. Thanks :)

i love going to concerts, and i looove live music. this takes every song in your itunes to a live sound. having been to some of these venues, i can honestly say its extremely realistic.

Everyone knows the iPhone doesnt have the best sound for music,until now. With this app and my Bose in-ear headphones the sound is incredible. IPod equalizer presets are a joke and there really is no discerning between the presets. This app however is incredible. Just listen to the first few notes of any music in your library and you will be blown away!

Cool idea, but am I the only one who thinks these presets sound kind of harsh and weird, almost like a bad bootleg? The spatial imaging is really inconsistent, which is noticeable on headphones especially...some of the venues pull way to one side. I assume you guys are using convolution. Your other apps are great, but this one could use some work.
