LXbydesign Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Another good one Ive just used on a Sunday Times corporate gig was Lady Gaga - Glory. Went down very well and has a nice feel-good factor about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjadingle Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 My bad - read the original post but wondered off into music then just remembered "software" not PC only. Sorry for any confusion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbsy Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 For playback control in situations where things aren't fully scripted, I almost always fall back on SOUNDPLANT. It's a simple bit of freeware (there's a paid version too...main difference being that the free is limited to wave files while the paid handles MP3 etc). It basically allows you to programme every key on your keyboard with a diffent audio track. However, there are also options about what happens on a second keypush, looping, level adjustment etc. I tend to use it for corporate stuff and also pantos where the silly sound effects are different every show. In a corporate setting I can use a planned order for music but also give myself a selection of generic sound effects (say a da da DUM drum sound for when the head of marketing makes a bad joke) or loop the selected music on the fly if the CEO stops to chat on the way up. As it's free, have a play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_stagetex Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 We recently posted a blog with some sting suggestions for awards ceremonies - we have used quite a few in more up-beat conferences too! http://www.stagetexa...-music-ideas-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
