Cues and countdown in song creator

[Gary Gnu]

Does the Song creator have the ability of cueing the band for each section within the song.  For example, if the intro contains 8 bars before the first verse, can the software provide an audio cue and countdown at bar seven with “Verse, three, two one”.  Audio cues are helpful if one section of the song contains a long vamp or if there is no vocal guide track.

If the cue and countdown is not available, is there any plans to add this feature in future software updates.

I haven’t heard of this request before. So what you want to happen is that on bar 7 should a pre-recorded voice say “verse, three, two, one”?

In that case, the best way is to use a DAW and record that, and place the audio recordings where they should be said on the time line.

You can also do something similar in SD3 if you record the different words as audio, create one new drum with a custom audio for each word. Then in the Grid Editor you add the notes for each of those drums where they should be played on bar 7.

Hi Henrik,

Thanks for your reply.  One other question.  If SD3 is purchased through one of the Canadian retail stores, is the free midi pack included?  Or do I need to purchase the SD3 directly from Toon Track to be eligible for the free midi pack.  Is the customer allowed to select any midi pack during the initial download.

One other comment about the audio cues.  If Toon Track has a customer wish list, please consider audio cues in future releases.  A lot of musician who perform for Praise and Worship gigs use it.  Having cues that are automatically created in song creation mode will be a big time saver.
