ButtonBar

Keep all your audio at your fingertips! ButtonBar is a flexible soundboard for live shows, podcasts, streams, productions, and events. Build pages of buttons, assign audio files, set colors and shortcut keys, and trigger the right sound fast.

A Clean SoundBoard for Production

ButtonBar gives you unlimited pages with up to 64 buttons per page. Each button can hold its own audio file, so you can organize sound effects, music beds, jingles, interviews, show segments, cues, and any other audio you use often.

Use separate pages for different shows, clients, events, or parts of your workflow. Keep everything easy to find instead of digging through folders while people are waiting.

Customize Every Button ButtonBar makes each button easy to recognize at a glance. Change the label, choose the color, assign a keyboard shortcut, and set the volume for each sound.

Per-button volume control helps you balance loud effects, quiet clips, music beds, and spoken-word audio without editing the original file.

ButtonBar supports common audio formats including MP3, WAV, and AIF.

Works on Windows and Mac

ButtonBar runs on both Windows and Mac, so you can use the same style of soundboard in the studio, at home, or on location.

Choose How Each Button Behaves Every button can respond the way your work requires. When you click a button a second time, you can choose one of three behaviors:

• Stop and return to the start

• Return to the start and play again

• Pause and resume

That gives you tight control for timed cues, repeated effects, long music beds, and clips you may need to pause during a live moment. Touchscreen Support on Windows

On Windows touch devices, ButtonBar can be used with a tap. This works well for compact setups, broadcast carts, mobile rigs, and desks where extra controllers would get in the way.

A touchscreen setup also keeps the interface simple. Your buttons are visible, labeled, color-coded, and ready when you need them.

Backup and Restore Your Setup

ButtonBar includes built-in backup and restore tools, so you can protect your pages, button layouts, and soundboard setup.

That matters when you have spent time building a show layout. You can save your work, move it when needed, and recover it if something goes wrong.
