Live show music sequencing
Hello,
We perform shows with live birds that free fly over the audience and perform other behaviors. Mostly we do not have the luxury of a sound engineer to be triggering pre-recorded music for different show segments. I am looking for a software application that will help with this situation. Basically we need a track list, probably WAV files on a PC. Once a track is triggered it should play, looping if necessary, until the next event trigger when a cross fade should be done to the next track in the list. The event trigger can be something like a mouse click or key press. Modification of a radio mouse to perform the event trigger is one idea we had. Can someone point us to such an application? Thanks, Sid. http://www.AvianAmbassadors.com Flights of Education. |

Most music players can do what you want, if you prepare your musical tracks by looping them using an audio editor and then recording them in their extended form. BTW, musical tracks used in live shows are commonly extended by adding silence at the end, so that there's no danger of running into the next song unexpectedly. |

I couldn't find a price on their web site. Steve King |

I would look at the Roland Phrase samplers---SP808, SP505, and SP606. The 606 now comes bundled with software to allow you to edit on PC. The nice thing about the Rolands is that you get a nice compact self contained unit. And these are designed for live triggering of samples. Rob R. |
