Oh fantastic, I didn't know about the library function. That's perfect. Thank you so much!

I've used this a few times at my local theater, and it's great!
I’ve used this for several sketch shows, which is a bit of a different use case than improv. We build a series of sounds and music on the board that are tied to a specific show. When that show is done, we need to start from scratch and make a new sound board.
There’s a couple of features that would really make the app more versatile:
-Add the ability to save a set of sounds as a ‘project’ (or whatever you’d like to call it). For instance, let’s say that my theater is putting up multiple shows at once: an improv show, two sketch shows, and a play. I could save 4 different sets of sound boards on Sound Show, and save them as 4 separate ‘projects’ (i.e. ‘Improv, ‘Sketch Show 1’, ‘Sketch Show 2’, and ‘Theatrical Play’). When I load one of the projects, it would ONLY show me the sounds saved to that project. I’m aware we can sort of do this with the folder tabs, but we like to have multiple folder tabs for a single project. A 'project' saving method would allow us to have an unlimited amount of projects, without cluttering the tabs, and preserve the project in case the show comes back in the future.
-Have a ‘portable’ mode for the app. It would be awesome to be able to prep a project on a USB drive, and then bring that USB drive and load everything directly from that drive. (I know we can export/import, but having it living completely on a usb drive would minimize back-and-forth updates when we make changes)
Thanks for reading! Love the app!
Hello! This app is fantastic - just what I was looking for! I have one small feature request:
Would it be possible to add more options for the audio fade in/out? More specifically, having different controls for audio fading to silence vs crossfading between audio. It could work something like this:
-In the settings, there could be two separate sets of fade controls: "Fade In/Fade Out" and "Crossfade". In this example, let's say "Fade Out" is set to 3, and "Crossfade" is set to 0.1.
-When audio is playing, if a user presses "BACKSPACE", it will fade out over 3 seconds (using the "Fade Out" preference)
-When audio is playing, if a user RIGHT CLICKS on another audio track to start playing it, it will crossfade between the old track and the new track in 0.1 seconds (using the "Crossfade" preference).
(it would also be cool if the crossfade setting was customizable per audio)
Currently, all of this is controlled by the same setting, but I find that I'd like a gentler fade out for turning music off, but a more aggressive one for fading between sound effects.
Thank you for a great app!
