What it is

Stadium Sound is a soundboard for stadium and arena PA operators managing walk-on music and sound effects. Tracks can be grouped into named banks and queued across banks in an ordered playlist. Audio is decoded when loaded, so clicking a track starts playback without buffer spin-up. Monitor Mode routes a preview to private headphones before venue playback. The track editor offers a waveform, draggable in and out points, intro trimming, and player-name fields for walk-on cues. Operators can assign keyboard shortcuts, scan loudness in LUFS, flag tracks outside a target, and normalize the library in one click. The app tracks play counts and can export CSV reports for audio logs. It imports Sports Sounds Pro .set files, including banks, track names, and file paths. Playback control is available through Bitfocus Companion, a phone or tablet web remote, or OSC. It is free, with desktop and browser versions listed for macOS, Windows, and web. The maker notes that OSC is unauthenticated and that the web remote pairing URL contains a persistent token.
