Sound Byte Cart Machine App App Reviews

The rack options do not save so are not useable. Would be a good app for playing music at sports events if those options worked.

Perfect for walk-up songs at the ballgame. Better than several other more expensive options.

This app functions very well-very responsive, and nice functionality. The only flaw I have found is that there is no way to clear a cut from a cart position. So if you put something in the cart, there is no way to clear out that position without putting a different cut into its place so one you put something in a position there must always be a file there. Sounds trivial, until you need to leave a blank spot and there is no way to do it.

this application does exactly what i expected it to do. it includes some nice features like programable fades, repeats, and some other useful ones. the only drag is that you can not delete or clear your carts. like the previous reviewer said, after you assign a sound file to a slot it will be there for life. Until they fix this problem, here is a workaround for it. create an audio file with no audio recorded. call it "blank". save it and import it to SoundBytes documents folder. now, every time you decide to clear a rack, assign "blank" to it. it is crude, i know, but does the job. outside of this little issue, the application is definitely worth the money.

The app lets you bring in many sound formats and lay them out on a screen for instant access and performs well in this regard. There are some features that would be good to see in the interface which could make this an outstanding app. As others have mentioned, the ability to empty out a cart is something that this app really needs, and in fact, there should be a way to clear an entire rack all at once. Being able to rearrange carts by dragging them would make life better as well. The cart options screen should give you a way to set the volume of the sound; that way you could take a single sound from your library and plug it into two different carts at different volumes, and you wouldnt have to edit them outside of the app to set the volume. Finally, while adding and deleting files from the library through iTunes is great and the way i would prefer to do it most often, being able to record sounds within the app would be a welcome feature.

I was disappointed to find out that there is a short delay between pressing a button and the audio starting to play. My audio files have no silence at all at the beginning, so they should play immediately. Sadly, thats not the case. Theres a a short but annoying delay, making working with it in an on-air environment far from pleasant.

I use this app during our school drama production and it worked great. I am also going to incorporate this app into our schools production studio. It has lots of useful features and functions that allow customization of your sound effects and sound racks.

Most useful app I have! Only thing I see missing is a way to move a cart to another rack & a way to change all carts in a rack to the same setting like all to fade when another cart is selected, etc. But this is a must own app!!!

I retract my previous review, I was using sound byte remote. This is a great app and highly recommended. Thanks for your work blackcat

Are you kidding? I work in professional broadcast radio in a major market. It costs about 3-4k to get a real fx machine called an "instant replay". Its the industry standard. This app? 5 bucks. Guess what- its better than a replay machine. BETTER!! Easier to load sounds, more portable, dont need complicated wiring. I know this is specialized for my type of work, but this is BY FAR the best app Ive ever seen. Dont believe me? Search Carmichael Dave in iTunes podcasts and listen to me use this app on my radio show. Bravo developers!!!

This is a great app. I really like it for what it can do. I have been using this app now for about 6 months at baseball games and it makes my job much easier. I use it for walk up songs, pitchers warm-ups, but best of all it gives me the ability to react with the crowd on things like foul balls in the parking lot, making it sound like a ball hit a car window from time to time or when a coach is arguing a call from an umpire I play a dog growl and a bark. The only thing I don’t like is you have to have a computer to add sound files to this app. You can’t just download or create a file on the IPad and plug it into a spot on the soundboard you have to have a computer to add it to the documents folder of this app to make it work.

File instructions are a bit vague but once you get past that, this is a fantastic program for playing sound effects. It would be nice (and maybe there is a way) to rearrange the sounds within a cart page but this is no big deal. With the range of color coding and a good memory this is all you need. Thank you!

This is a discovery! I host a show at Radio and now, everyone on the station start to use!

If you are putting on live events and need instant cueing of music and sound effects, this app isnt just worth the coat of the app, but worth the cost of an iPad and the app. This app replaces my old school $3000 Instant Replay 360" and works a heck of a lot easier than than machine ever did. I give this my highest recommendation. That being said, I wish it could use songs from your iTunes library, but I understand this to be an Apple issue, not the programmers.

My wish for this app is to add midi for midi controllers to trigger clips, This would kill all apps of its kind......

Exactly what I need for cued intro music for the many meetings and events we do. Awesome app!

The logo appears and then goes back to home screen. I put 200 sounds on when I had the last version. Now its all for naught. Doesnt work!!!! Fix this.

This app is fantastic for my needs. The update now allows adding tracks from your music library which is a lot easier. Lots of flexibility in setting up quantity of carts, color codes, text size and various playback options. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Like other customers, I came to rely on this app, and now all I get is the title screen and CRASH. Seems to be related to using songs from music library. Crashed constantly until it stopped working entirely.

The latency between click & playing of a sound makes it an unprofessional toy like product. Please fix the latency and add an option to clear all carts. Deleting audio files wont delete the corresponding carts neither.
