5catfish Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Hi Just wondered which seems to be a robust App for quick track playback? Preferably for iPad but open to lo cost software options thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart91 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'd like recommendations on this as well. What I'd like (rather than QLab for iPad) is something simple enough to hand to a dance teacher, that can play tracks back instantly, stop automatically at the end of each track. A countdown display that shows time remaining would be handy too. I've had a quick browse around but haven't found anything suitable yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkicallaghan Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Fx live 2 on iPad. I've used it for a while and it's stable and straight forward to use with a nice big go button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter F Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Go Button. Made by the same people who wrote QLab. Free version allows you to save 1 show at a time. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkPAman Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Look at: Stop & Go Simple playlist player - counts up rather than down. Think the free version only gives one playlist. SimpleBoard No counter on this one, but very big buttons! Then getting more sophisticated - could be over complicated for your dance teachers http://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/wiggle.gif PlayFadePause by the Blue-Room's Richard Williamson Go Button an audio only, cut down version of QLab All the above work on iPhones (and iPads). iMiX16 - several variants & handles videos & slides too. Can run a cue list, or have a button for each file, or both.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart91 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Thanks - that's a fair amount to work my way through. Very helpful. Within the last week I've had a dance teacher turn up with an iPad that had a broken headphone socket (smashed corner) and someone playing from Spotify, which stopped working when a call came in...

J Pearce Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I use PlayFadePause quite regularly. It's quick and easy (and so far very reliable), but getting tracks in is still a bit of a pain. Officially the route is via iTunes file sharing, but iOS also seems to support it in some "Open In" dialogues, which I use to get things in from Dropbox.

pmiller056 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Any suggestions for the same functionality but with an Android device? Thanks, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Any suggestions for the same functionality but with an Android device? Thanks, PeterI've used Maple Player but it only plays MP3s.Ideal for dance teachers as can alter the speed and pitch if wanted.Stops at the end of each track and displays time played and time remaining.CheersGerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I've just updated PlayFadePause which is improving things but am currently working on proper dropbox integration which should make things lots better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandall Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Anyone got any recommendations for something similar for Android? Essential - stopping at end of track. Desirable - big buttons & a decent counter. As few "features" (eq, pitch/stretch, fx, etc) as possible!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandall Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Sorry Gerry, should have mentioned .wav files - I read "only plays MP3s" & thought b****r!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Sorry Gerry, should have mentioned .wav files - I read "only plays MP3s" & thought b****r!!OOPS!!Reading the specs it should play .wav files but, I have now found out, only 16 bit .wav files and not 32 bit files.Most of my .wav files are 32 bit and it wouldn't play them.So I just used MP3 files.CheersGerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandall Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I mostly use 16-bit .wav, so I'll give it a try, though what I really want is PlayFadePause for Android :) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
