Beep, boop, boup. Yes. This does nothing but generate annoying test tones.

"But, why? The world is annoying enough!". Thats`s true, especially when it is distorted. And I don`t mean idiots distorting the truth, though they are certainly annoying (and counter productive), I`m referring to distortion you hear when you are listening or playing music through speakers. It can be difficult to isolate the distortion on liars but for audio systems (i.e. speakers), test tones can help you quickly isolate problems.
The ST Oscillator (tone generator) is free and reqires no installation but will generate sine waves (tones), square waves, triangle waves and saw-tooth waves at frequencies from 20Hz to 20kHz.
Note - Set the volume low before turning on your speakers and Un-muting. It can be loud.
The Sound Pads panel lets you trigger/play built in drum and percussion sounds on your phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer.
The buttons play softer near the edges.
The StecTools Budget Calculator is a simple page for comparing profits and costs for things like musical events.

Anyone who has worked doing live music knows that it is next to impossible to earn a living wage from it. Though I don't have some magic solution, I did put together this simple online tool to help you find ways to improve your profitability. You might use the tool to determine how many seats you need to fill for everyone to get paid for instance.
The tool has two main sections: an Expenses section and an Income section. Expenses might include the cost to rent a hall or pay for each of the musicians and other staff. Income includes ticket sales as well as things like merchandise or sponsors. As you change the values in each of the fields the tool automatically recalculates the total income, the total expenses and the overall total (income minus expenses). By dropping different numbers into the quantity field of for tickets for instance, you can see where the breakeven point is for number of tickets verses the ticket price. You know that you will have to fill less seats if the ticket price is high enough but knowing exactly how high is useful information.
