Loved by creators
Great software, it fits all our needs. We are an amateur theatre company in Abrantes - Portugal.
Congratulations for your work.
I am a game master for several Role Playing Games and running online games in 2009. I quickly realized that it was a great opportunity to add a soundtrack to my games, be it music or sound effects to punctuate events in the game and increase immersion for my players.
I have tried many tools to achieve these goals, and lately Sound Show has become my favorite tool for running games, both online and around a table.
I have found wonderful use for this in the world of pro wrestling!

I also purchased a Pro edition too because I wanted to support the cause. I used to use sports sounds pro and this is sooo much more stable!
I cannot recommend SoundShow enough.
It offers incredible flexibility, both in organization and playback. You can set up multiple playlists, running Music separately from Ambient sounds like rain or city streets, as well as triggering unique Sound FX like gunshots or screams on the fly. Additionally, I asked for a way to customize the UI icons, and the creator responded a day later - talk about customer service!

About
Who is behind Sound Show?
I'm Laurent Herbin, a software developer, improv enthusiast, and the creator of Sound Show.
My journey into software began with a passion for gaming and coding, which led me to study computer science at UCLouvain.
Along the way, I discovered my love for improv, co-founding Oh My God Improv Team in 2012.
Frustrated by the lack of suitable tools for sound tech during improv shows, I decided to create my own. That's how Sound Show was born: a versatile, user-friendly software designed to meet the unpredictable needs of live performances
When I'm not coding or performing, you might find me dancing salsa or relaxing with my cats.
