Features
Audio Cues supports three kinds of cues:
• Audio cues work with all standard audio file formats, including WAV, OGG and more.
• Fade cues can change volume, pan from left to right, or serve as Stop cues
• Go to cues let you loop through groups of audio cues.

Audio and Fade cues have these features:
• Cue number and title
• Master, left and right volume
• A trigger (the Go button, or with or after the previous cue)
• A delay to run the cue a certain amount of time after the trigger
• A shortcut to run the cue from a keyboard or remote control

Audio cue features include:
• A target pointing to a particular audio file
• A starting point, letting you jump past the start of an audio file
• Number of play times, including support for infinite loops

Fade cue features include:
• A target pointing to a specific audio cue, or to all running cues
• A fade duration
• Stop the target audio cue(s)

Other features include:
• Integration with Google Drive and local storage to transfer audio files to your Android device
• Backup and restore of show designs as text files
• Support for Bluetooth remote controls and keyboards to trigger cues during performances

Keyboard shortcuts:
• Up and down cursor keys to scroll through the cue list
• The space bar or Enter to trigger the Go button
• Esc or Ctrl+Q to stop all running cues
• Configurable keyboard shortcuts for navigation and running cues

Audio File Storage
The app's audio files are stored in this directory:
/AudioCues/shows/[show title]

You can import audio files from:
• Google Drive
• The device's internal storage
• An SD card or thumb drive

Other ways to copy audio files to the device include:
• With a file manager app
• From a desktop computer connected by USB cable; on macOS 10.7-14, use Android File Transfer (not compatible with macOS 10.15 Catalina)
• Wirelessly with Bluetooth or apps such as HandShaker and AirDroid

We recommend using Audacity, a free desktop application, to build audio files.
