CuePlayer
Reliable audio cue playback for live shows, theatre and events.
CuePlayer is a lightweight audio cue and jingle player for live use. For each track you can set a sample-accurate start and end, level and fades; during the show cues are fired with a single button, manually or with an automatic crossfade to the next. It includes a dedicated jingles page for instantly firing stingers, transitions and effects (up to four at once). There is also automatic playback of a whole playlist, ducking of music while a presenter speaks, and remote control from a phone or from Bitfocus Companion. Low latency (ASIO® / WASAPI), a clean dark UI in seven languages, a single file, no install dependencies. Key features: • Cue list with one-button transport (GO / STOP) • Sample-accurate "play from / play to" per cue, with a waveform editor and preview • Per-cue level (incl. boost) and fade in/out, with a global fallback • Three modes: CUE MANUAL, CUE AUTO (crossfade to next) and REGULAR PLAYER (automatic playlist playback), with an optional Repeat all • Jingles / sampler: a dedicated page to instantly fire stingers, transitions and effects — with one click or via GO, up to 4 at once; .cuejingles packages to carry them between events
• Ducking for voiceovers: a side-chain from a chosen input smoothly pulls down the music while a presenter speaks and lifts it back afterwards (attack / release / threshold / depth) • Matrix routing: route the main output and individual jingles to zones and to several sound cards at once
• Reference 1 kHz oscillator for setting levels into a mixing console • Loudness matching across tracks • Master fader as a pure attenuator (never changes the balance between tracks) + global fade in/out • VST3 effect hosting on the master (scan, editor, state saved with the show) • Stereo or dual-mono output; ASIO® (optional) + WASAPI; Dante-compatible (via Dante Virtual Soundcard as an ASIO® device) • Remote control from a phone via the browser (no install) and a module for Bitfocus Companion (stream deck / show control) • Seven languages (Czech, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish) — automatically by system • Status bar with CPU / RAM / disk load to keep an eye on the machine during the show • Shows in .cueshow and jingles in .cuejingles (portable packages), dark translucent UI • Windows 10/11, per-user install, a single self-contained exe (no runtime prerequisites) • 30-day fully-functional trial + in-app update check
