Sound Mill

Sound Mill - A sound effects manager with Fx Effects and 3D Effects . Sound Mill is a sound effects player and organizer created for sound designers and soundboard operators for amateur theater, radio talk shows or other audio productions where sound effects are desired.

Sound Mill uses Microsoft DirectX utilities (a free download from Microsoft). DirectX will use advanced functions of your sound card (when available) or simulate hardware effects in software.

Check you local library for sound effects CDs or Google "sound effects" on the Web to download sound files. Many are free and have public domain copyrights.

Here are some key features of "Sound Mill":
WAV file format - Play any WAV file. Size is only limited by the memory on your computer. DirectX only supports WAV format but many free programs allow for conversion of virtually any format into WAV.
Organize sound lists - You organize a group of sounds into a list. For example, each act of a play may have its own list of sounds. Or there may be one list for the entire play. You decide how you want the production organized.
Drag and drop - Use Windows Explorer or other file manger to drag and drop WAV files into your sound list.
Manual play mode - Play, stop, pause/resume, adjust volume, pan left/right.
Auto Pan - Pan left or right at a set speed. Loop back in the other direction automatically.
Auto Volume - Fade or gain volume at a set speed. Loop back in the other direction automatically.
Sequence play mode - Play multiple sounds in sequence automatically. And setup a loop of multiple sounds to play repeatedly.
Loop play - Play one sound in a continuous loop until you stop it or specify the number of times to repeat it.
Delay - Set a time to delay after playing a sound (useful with sequence mode or loop play).
Copy and Paste Editing - You can copy a sound with all of its configurations and paste as a new sound. This is useful to copy Fx or 3D setups you have previously edited. Move sounds up or down in sequence with one click.
View/print reports - View a report (a.k.a. sound plot) showing the list of sounds and configurations applied to each sound. You can save as a file and print the report. Six types of reports are available with varying types of information and detail.
