About Sound Show
Sound Show is a soundboard and multimedia player for live performances, including theatre, tabletop games, DJ work and events. Sounds are arranged in customizable grids across multiple tabs. Each sound that plays appears in its own player with independent volume and playback control.
The software can also display images, video, text or a webcam feed on a second display, and run programmed sequences with playlists and text-to-speech. A core version is free to use. The free version is limited to 10 tabs and 40 sounds per tab, has limited visual customization, and locks some modules such as MIDI and lighting. The Pro version removes these tab and sound limits and adds more integrations.
