Audio Cues is designed for live performance. With just an Android phone or tablet or a Chromebook that supports Google Play, 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 features, January 2023
The new "Pause/Play" cue type can target either a single audio cue or all running cues. The cue acts as a toggle switch, pausing or playing the targeted cues depending on whether they're currently playing.
The new "Stop" cue type can also target either a single audio cue or all running cues. It does the same thing as a Fade with duration of 0, stopping the targeted audio cues immediately.
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 and other file sharing services to transfer audio files to your Android device
• Support for Bluetooth remote controls and keyboards 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

Importing Audio Files
Import audio files from:

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