Chapter 8The cart wall

Carts are buttons for short sounds you play often: jingles, stingers, sound effects. Click and it plays.

Play

Click a cart to play it. Click it again to stop it.
The time at the top shows the cart that plays.
The fader at the side of each cart is its volume. The mouse wheel anywhere on the cart changes it too, in steps, and shows the new value for a moment.
The tabs above the wall (here: Sound Effects, Stingers) hold 18 carts each.
STOP ALL in the top bar stops all carts and players.

Press EDIT. Nothing on the wall changes by accident while EDIT is off.

Drag a sound from the clip browser, or from Finder or Explorer, onto a cart.
Click a cart to change its name, colour and level, or to clear it.
Double-click a tab to rename it.
+ Tab adds a tab of 18 carts. Remove tab removes the tab you are on.
Every change is saved at once. Press EDIT again to go back to play only.

The carts are kept in a deck. The show remembers which deck it uses when you press Save.
When you open a show, its own deck comes up on the wall.
A new show gets a new, empty deck with the same name as the show.
To use another deck: press EDIT and choose it from the list. Then press Save.
Two shows can use the same deck. Then a change to the carts changes them in both shows.
New deck makes another empty deck. Copy to edit makes a copy of a deck that you cannot change (a Currycaster deck).

Reset deck empties every cart on every tab. The tabs stay. It asks first, and it keeps a copy:

After a reset, Restore deck appears. It puts the carts back as they were.
