Sound Cue Software

[ClintonHammond]

Hey folks... Recently became the unofficial sound guy for my local community theatre group.

have about 6 gigs of sound effects.
Use Audacity when I need to 'edit' or record

Have a copy of a program called Virtual DJ that we use to run the effects, off a laptop, through our house amp and speakers.

Wondering if anyone has other software suggestions other than the obvious (winamp etc.)

Thanks!

This topic has been fairly well covered in the past and is a great opportunity for you to get to know the search function. A program called "SFX" from Stage Research is probably the best one out there, but it can be pricey depending on which version you need. There are other cheaper options as well. Do some searching and you should find just about everything you need to know. See what you find and then post some specific follow up questions.

Oh and welcome to the Booth!

As much of a pain in the butt as the search function is. Try it. This link was on the 2nd page. There's some pretty decent software recomendations on there.

Honestly, I usually do search before posting on a forum, but I'd received a "It's Been A While Since You Posted" email, so I just popped in and posted the first topic that came to mind.

The link above is a bloody good source for info... thanks!

*edit... The word d a m n is filtered, but bloody isn't??? ??????

Yes, somebody actually has to program them, and usually that somebody will wont some money for his/her work...

on the other hand, for freeware, I like the Cue Player, which also has a better, (Pro and Premium) version, that are pretty cheap: http://www.baxeldata.com/cueplayer.html

QLab is a free program for Mac OS X which does everything SFX does and more. Check it out at http://www.figure53.org/

I'm a pretty happy customer of Sound Cue System. It's a reasonably priced home-grown product that has a lot of flexibility, and is actively being supported and enhanced by the author, Mike Daniell, and we are able to provide input and feedback to Mike continuously to help further improve the product. Along with Goldwave, I consider this one of my best theater sound investments.
