About Gig Control
Gig Control was designed and built BY performing musicians and sound engineers FOR performing musicians and sound engineers. The program was initially built for our own use but feedback from our colleagues encouraged us to further develop the system and to make it available for your use. We are based in southwest France where we continue to perform live music, provide sound engineering services and where we have a recording studio. We are passionate about our music and about Gig Control and are committed to its continued development and support.

Legal Stuff
Your licence is personal to you (or your organisation in the case of a PRO+ licence) and you may install and run Gig Control on as many computers as you own. The licence may not be resold.
You may also install and run Gig Control on other computers as required (say on a client PC or the PC at a concert venue) but we ask that, when your work is complete, you delete the application from such a machine. Note that as Gig Control makes no registry changes, and has a small installation footprint it may readily be installed on a USB key and run directly from the key (with no impact on run-time performance).
You are not permitted to make modifications to the software without prior consent from Gig Control.
Your initial licence entitles you to full support and to download and install upgrades and maintenance releases for one year from the date of purchase. This service may be renewed annually at a cost of 20% of the cost of a new licence. Gig Control has a policy of active support and a programme of continual product development and improvement. You do not have to subscribe to the update and support service and you may continue to use your existing product version in perpetuity.
There are four licence levels as follows:
- DEMO – full functionality but with a limit of 5 Songs saved/loaded from/to the Repertoire file. In downloading the DEMO software you are automatically subject to the licence conditions stated here.
- STD – all functionality bar Procedures
- PRO – all functionality
- PRO+ – as PRO but for professional use (multi-user, multi-installation)
Disclaimer
Gig Control has many, many hours of successful usage, but the system is supplied ‘as is’ and it remains the user’s responsibility to verify that the function suits their needs. Gig Control take no responsibility should the software fail and accept no liability for consequential loss.
