Sound Mill 2.10 is a Audio Utility product from breakthrusoftware.com, get 5 Stars SoftSea Rating, Sound Mill is a sound effects player, manager, and automation tool that can transform your wildest ideas into sound design that works. Typical applications include: theater and radio; in-store and public venues with music and announcements; amusement attractions such as haunted mansions or museum displays; mobile entertainers such as magicians; sound scapes to accompany computer screen shows or presentations; or really any audio production or project. Create basic projects in minutes or use the flexible automation abilities to time intricate sequences of simultaneous sounds down to the millisecond. Whether you are a sound designer (from expert professional to aspiring amateur), a business owner (large to small), a mobile entertainer or presenter needing a custom sound track, or an audiophile hobbyist, Sound Mill offers the simplicity and flexibility you need.
Organize a complete sound plot for a show to execute sound cues. The automation manager allows you to play multiple sound cues concurrently and fire them at timed offsets with precision in the milliseconds. Pipe sound automation to one or more different venue zones -- a lobby PA, stage speakers, and 3D speaker systems. Automatically generate detailed sound plots to print or view on screen. Automation allows you to create reusable sound modules. Just create the automation sequence once and import the module into any new project.
Magicians, presenters and other mobile entertainers: Accompany your act or presentation with a music track and surprise sound effects at precisely timed moments. A low volume signal sound (ex. a soft click) could fire a few seconds before each key event sound allowing you to time your presentation with the sound design. Keyboard keys can start, stop, pause and resume your sound script for mouse-free operation if desired.
