EASY PLAYBACK

JAZLER SHOW2 AUTOMATION SOFTWARE

Jazler Show is a program that lets you load audio files onto buttons for easy playback. You can also create a “Sequence” of many audio files and play them back in order with one click.

Jazler Show is designed for managing audio playback. It does not allow you to record or edit individual audio files. For that you will use Audacity.

CLICK TO PLAY

JAZLER SHOW2 AUTOMATION SOFTWAREAN IMPORTANT WORD ABOUT FLASH DRIVES

If you want to import an audio file from a flash drive into Jazler, it is important that you first load that file into the computer. Then, link your Jazler button to the file in the computer.

Although Jazler will link a file directly from a flash drive, that flash drive must then remain in the computer. If it is removed, Jazler will not be able to search for any file not on the flash drive.

REMEMBER, ALWAYS LOAD A FILE FROM A FLASH DRIVE INTO THE COMPUTER FIRST, THEN LINK THAT FILE TO YOUR BUTTON!
