Adding Mp3 or Wav files to Showbuddy

[Jeffscott87]

Can I add mp3 or Wav files to Showbuddy without using Ableton Live or any other source?

My band, we use backing tracks and we're now wanting to add synchronized lights to our show with our tracks. I've seen YouTube vids but the one video I found he is using Ableton Live with Showbuddy. Just want to know if it's possible to add audio files to Showbuddy without another source? Thanks!

Do I need Show Buddy Setlist or Show Buddy Active?

Show Buddy Active is a DMX lighting controller. You use it to program lighting "looks", and switch between those looks manually at showtime (using a footswitch, MIDI controller, or computer mouse/keyboard). Show Buddy Active can also play back video clips to a projector.

Show Buddy Setlist automates your shows. It plays your audio backing tracks, organises your songs into sets, displays lyrics, and controls your lighting & MIDI equipment for a fully synchronised hands-free show.

If you just want manual control of your lighting rig, choose Show Buddy Active.

If you want to pre-program your full show (leaving you free to perform while the software takes care of your audio & lighting) then choose both Show Buddy Setlist + Show Buddy Active.
