I'm planning on doing the bulk of this through Audacity then importing into the program, but on the off chance I get a song last minute or anything, having the ability to make changes within the program would be nice.

Has the ability to do very basic audio editing from within the program (adjusting start times, adjusting volume, that's really it). Has a good organization system and allows some sort of page-building feature (having a page for walk up songs, page for offensive/defensive sound fx, page for on-the-spot music, etc) Has the ability to add multiple audio files at once to a library Has a fade in/out and crossfade feature

As the sound guy, I'd also like to be the one running all the music and sound fx the video guy has enough to worry about, and doesn't quite have the experience to know what sounds should be played when (on his own our game director mostly tells him what to do but also gives him and I the freedom to call things out, but it's usually him deciding for himself). I would gladly put in the hours to rebuild (and normalize) a large library of music, transfer all the player walk ups, expand the sound fx library, etc. Basically, the music library needs an overhaul. Lots of the start times for situational songs need changing. None of the songs are normalized, so it's always a wildcard as to what volume they're gonna come out. I would 100% rather be using Sports Sounds Pro, but I'm sure there are better options. We also have a bunch of Spotify playlists for various sports pregame playlists, as well as for in between innings music for baseball.įor the minor league team, we run all music through iTunes playlists (yes, iTunes) and all sound fx through our CrossFire computer, so the video guy is also the one doing all the sound fx via hotkeys on top of all his video board stuff.įor what I hope are obvious reasons, I'm gonna try convince my minor league boss to change to a new program that consolidates everything into one system. The fade in/outs are basic but do the job, and multiplay is nice to have. It's old (at least it looks old), the menus and button customization are pretty janky, but the page organization and hotkey stuff is nice. It does the job, but it definitely has its flaws. For all university sports, we use Sports Sound Pro. I'm a sound guy for my university's athletic department and local minor league team. TLDR: my university facilities use Sports Sound Pro, my minor league team uses iTunes (and the video guy is in charge of sound fx), I'm looking for a better program to propose switching to for one or both jobs.
