Sound Mill will enable you to create basic projects in minutes or use the flexible automation capabilities to time intricate sequences of simultaneous sounds down to the millisecond.
Whether you are a sound designer (from expert professional to aspiring amateur), a business owner (large to small), a mobile entertainer or presenter needing a custom sound track, or an audiophile hobbyist, Sound Mill offers the simplicity and flexibility you need.
If you are a sound designer for an amusement park attraction or museum display, or you just want to create a spooky walk-thru for Halloween at your home or school, Sound Mill automation has the flexibility needed for complex sound scenarios. Play a constant background sound in a continuous loop (ex. wind howling and rain) and time other sounds to repeat at regular intervals (ex. ghost calls, wolf howls, foot steps).
The possible scenarios are limited only by your imagination. Create sound automation that changes over time.
Here are some key features of "Sound Mill":
· Use with other audio programs - Use Sound Mill and other audio software (ex. WMP) simultaneously.
· Automation Manager - Build automation Scripts to play sequences of sounds sequentially or at timed intervals.
· Scheduler - Schedule automation Scripts to start at a given time of day for pre-show and intermission music and announcements.
· Flexible date scheduling - Create schedules to run by date: daily, weekly by day of week, monthly by date, and limited to a date range and more.
· 3D Sound - Full 3D Sound capability when a venue has a 5.1 or 7.1 sound system. Simulated 3D Sound with 2.1 sound systems. Fully configurable.
· Fx Effects - Fx effects including: Chorus, Compressor, Distortion, Echo, Flanger, Gargle, Waves Reverb, and Parametric Equalizer. Fully configurable and use in any combination.
· Select Output Devices - Play music on the lobby PA and production sound cues on the stage tower speakers.
· Sorting/Merging - Sort your sounds by Name, Category or Act/Scene. Merge lists together with one click.
· Drag and drop - Use Windows Explorer or other file manger to drag and drop audio files into your Sound List.
· Manual play mode - Oversized buttons for play, stop, pause and resume. Adjust volume, pan left/right.
· Start and Stop Play Markers - Markers allow you to start and/or end play at any position in the sound file.

· Auto Volume and Pan - Fade or gain volume at a set speed. Pan left or right at a set speed. Loop back in the other direction automatically.
· Preemptive play mode - Play causes all playing sounds to suspend while a preemptive sound plays. (useful for injecting timed announcements into a music program).
· Loop play - Play one sound in a continuous loop. For example, put a short clip of rain falling into a loop, then play thunder claps randomly.
· Delay - Set a time to delay before and/or after playing a sound (Pre/Post Delay). Useful for separating sounds in automation Scripts.

· Custom Skins - Prevent eye strain in a darkened theater or venue by using a dark program skin. Create your own with your preferred colors.
· List Sorting - Sort your list by sound name or by act/scene. Auto number the list.
