Hi, all --
I've been reading through the threads I've found covering the many options out there for running sound cues, but I've yet to find a recommendation that hits all of my parameters. Perhaps one of the many programs I've seen recommended does have all of these features, but the threads I've read didn't seem to mention them (or I just missed it). Here's what I need; bear in mind we're currently using Baxel Data's "Cue Player", and I hate it.
The new program must:
1. be Windows7 compatible, and
2. be free or very inexpensive, and
3. be easily learned and used by middle and high school students, and
4. allow addition or deletion of cues without changing the numbering
Number 4 above is what has prompted my search for new software, since Cue Player does not have that feature. In other words, if I delete SQ 5, I don't want SQ 6 to become SQ 5. Likewise, if I need to add a cue, I don't want SQ 6 to become SQ 7; I want to add SQ 5.5. As you can imagine, with a student sound designer, there are typically lots of changes to be made to the sound design before opening night, and I don't want to have to re-write half the cues in my book every time the kid forgets to include a doorbell.
Does MultiPlay fit the bill?
I appreciate your input. Thanks in advance!
