Would a visual routing/planning tool be useful for audio workflows?

I’ve been working on a small tool for mapping out systems visually, and I’m curious if something like this would be useful for audio engineering workflows.

The idea is to make it easier to sketch things like signal chains, studio routing, podcast setups, live rigs, or mix/session structures without spending too much time arranging boxes manually.

I’m not trying to sell anything here. Mostly looking for feedback from people who actually do this kind of work:

What kinds of audio workflows do you usually need to diagram or explain?

I built schematic simple app for making diagrams from messy ideas

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on schematic small app designed to help you turn rough ideas, systems, workflows, and notes into clean visual diagrams.

The goal is simple: when you’re thinking through a product, architecture, process, or strategy, you shouldn’t have to fight with a drawing tool just to get your thoughts organized.

With Schematic app, you can:
- Quickly sketch out flows, systems, and concepts
- Organize ideas visually instead of staring at a wall of text
- Create cleaner diagrams for planning, sharing, or documentation
- Move from rough thinking to something presentable faster

I built this because I kept running into the same problem: most diagramming tools are either too manual, too heavy, or too focused on polished output before the idea is even clear.

Schematic is meant to sit earlier in the thinking process.

I’d love to get feedback from people who regularly map out workflows, product ideas, system designs, or research notes.

If you try it, I’d especially appreciate feedback on:
- What felt confusing?
- What diagram types you’d want supported?
- Whether this fits into your actual workflow or not

Thanks for taking a look.
