Macs Cue is a sound effect player, designed with amateur theatre in mind. It runs on a Mac.

Create a cue sheet by dragging sound files into Macs Cue, then play them back one at a time with the space bar. So easy to use, even an actor could run sound!

Macs Cue supports unlimited number of cues and plays AIFF, MP3, and (unprotected) AAC.

Of course, you can skip forward or back, stop or fade out what's playing, or even add, delete, or rearrange cues on the fly just in case you get into an emergency improv situation.

Here are some key features of "Macs Cue":
Unlimited number of cues
Plays AIFF, MP3, and (unprotected) AAC
Full keyboard control
Drag and drop too!
No-edit mode prevents accidental changes to your cue sheet
Multiple cues can play at once (limited only by your computer's speed)
Individual volume control of cues
Cues can be chained, and can stop or fade out other cues
Emergency Stop All function
