Overview
Stinger 3.1 is perfect for fast-paced morning shows, DJs that want to add a bit of spice to their shows, stadium announcers, audio production directors, cat-walk shows, theatre groups, corporate presentations... the list goes on! Stinger 3.1 was designed by broadcast professionals with years of experience, as a creative tool for the playback and recording of short-length effects, drop-ins, liners, jingles and other audio elements. Stinger 3.1 can play multiple files at the same time on a single audio card, or on up to 6 outputs on multi-channel audio cards (requires a native DirectX audio card on Windows XP, or a WDM audio card on Windows 7 or above).Up to 1152 audio cuts are instantly available, each with a user-defined background color and caption making it easy to find the right buttons. There's no scrolling through a tiny view Window, Stinger will resize to the size of your PC monitor.You can save multiple collections of audio files (or individual sets) for Instant Recall - so each daypart or production can have their own buttons. Stinger 3.1 is touch-screen compatible or can be operated from the keyboard, or mouse.With support for dual monitors, Stinger 3.1 is capable of having up to 144 buttons on-screen at any one time.
