Audio Cues

Audio control for live performance. Manage sound for theatre, dance and more.

Audio Cues is designed for live performance. With just an Android phone or tablet, you can create and run simple audio designs for theatre, dance, and other live entertainment. Backing tracks for musicians, sound effects for magicians: all are possible with this simple app.

In-App Purchase: Unlimited Shows and Cues

Audio Cues permits up to 2 shows on each device and up to 10 cues per show without any payment or registration. An in-app purchase adds support for Unlimited Shows and Cues. In-app purchases are connected to Google accounts rather than individual devices, so the Unlimited Shows and Cues package will be recognized wherever you download the app with your account.

New release, January 2024

Version 2024.01.1 includes the following new features:

• "Run zoomed" display mode displays next and pending cues in large fonts, plus navigation buttons to scroll through the hidden cue list. Designed for when you're using a remote control and the Android device is a few feet away.

• "Flash screen on remote event" setting makes the screen flash when the app receives a keyboard, Bluetooth remote, or Flic 2 button event. Use this to verify the app is receiving signals from your remote device.

• A Restart button has been added to the control panel. When tapped, all running cues restart based on their "Start at" properties.

• The new Restart action can also be triggered by keyboard, remote control, and Flic 2 button events.

Features

Audio Cues supports five kinds of cues:

• Audio cues work with all standard audio file formats, including WAV, OGG and more.

• Fade cues can change a targeted audio cue's volume and pan from one channel to the other.

• Stop cues immediately stop targeted audio cues.

• Pause/Play cues act as a toggle switch, pausing or playing the targeted audio cues depending on whether they're currently playing.

• Go to cues let you jump to another cue and optionally play it right it right away.

Other features include:

• Integration with Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox to transfer audio files to your Android device

• Support for Bluetooth media remote controls, keyboards, and Flic 2 buttons to trigger cues during performances

• Backup and restore shows to ZIP files

Keyboard shortcuts:

• Up and down cursor keys to scroll through the cue list

• Space bar to trigger the Go button

• Esc to stop all running cues

• Configurable keyboard shortcuts for navigation and running cues

Importing Audio Files

Import audio files from:

• File sharing services such as Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive

• An SD card or thumb drive

• The device's internal storage

We recommend Audacity, a free desktop application, for creating audio files.
