Play sounds in custom cues automatically or manually. Create a cue by selecting the files, then interlink them, add fade effects at the start and end of each track, then enable the playback. Optionally, reorganize the sounds, remove selected files from the chain, etc.
Macs Cue is a sound player optimized for scripted performances. You create a cue sheet containing all the sounds you want to play, then hit the space bar to play each one. Cues can be chained, and can be set to stop or fade other cues.
After dragging sound files into your cue sheet, you can trim off the start and end of each cue, as well as automating volume and pan. Cues can be set to loop, and to start or stop other cues at any point while they're playing.
Great for small theatres, churches, schools, corporate presentations, or anywhere you need simple and reliable sound playback. Alice Cooper uses it in his shows, shouldn't you? Version 2 is a major overhaul, and includes multichannel output with multiple output devices, multiple events per cue, volume and pan automation, notes, more precise volume control, and silent cues. It also displays CPU usage, and checks for new versions.
v2.0 [May 14, 2012]
- New features
- Added ability to save cue sheets without the waveform data (The Save dialog has a checkbox)
- New start and stop events are created at a time that doesn't overlap with any existing events
- Added built-in crash reporter
- Bugs flitted
- Sound files with 4-letter extensions (.aiff) can once again be dragged from the finder into a cue sheet
- Fixed an occasional crash when closing cue sheets
- Fade command (F or f key) works again when cue has been put in "manual volume" mode by moving the fader while playing
- Copying cues was not working
- Clicking "Done" on the Stop-Other event edit window now uses the fade time set, even if you didn't type return to finish editing first
- "Change sound file" works now without having to close and reopen the cue sheet, and it doesn't stop playback if other cues are playing
- When clicking the "start other" or "stop other" button with multiple cues selected, each selected cue now gets its own new event, rather than having to share
- Deleting a cue while playing no longer stops playback of other cues
- Fixed a potential crash while loading if a sound file can't be found
