Action to play an audio notification

[mcconnor]

Is that possible? I need an Action to play an audio notification (beep, short wav-file e.g.) on a specified hardware output.

Reason: In a live setup it might occur that we might need to loop or repeat or restart a region. I would like to output a short audio notification to the in ear monitoring Channel of my audio interface as to alert the band to an immanent jump...

If you have SWS installed, in the Resources window (actions > SWS/S&M: Open/close Resources window) you can load media files into slots and these slots can be played via actions (e.g. actions > SWS/S&M: Resources - Play media file in selected tracks (toggle), slot 1).

Thanks for that! I didn't even think such functionality was in SWS. As I always have my click in Track 1 and this one is routed to our in ear it was pretty easy to add

SWS select only track 1
SWS Play resource in selected track, slot 1

to my existing action. Combined with a suiting short beep sound this is just what I needed... perfect to extend with some more audio alerts for the band which is great when we cannot see each other well to work with signs.
