The rules system is the heart of automation in Callers Caddy. You define when something should happen (trigger), whether a condition must be met (condition), and what happens then (action). All without scripting, all with a single click. And so you know exactly what's currently available, here's the complete list of triggers… Read more
A pattern can be looped cleanly and musically, yet still become too long. This is often where the real problem lies in practice. Because people's attention spans, and therefore dancers' too, are limited. If a pattern runs for too long, the tension drops. The energy in the room becomes flat. And what just worked well a moment ago... Read more
Every caller has their own way of working. Some want to configure as little as possible, preferring the software to anticipate needs and take work off their hands. Others prefer to make their own decisions, only using features they've thoroughly tested. Both approaches are perfectly fine. Callers Caddy has been reflecting this for some time now. It supports various languages and features… Read more
Anyone who adds a lot of new songs to their collection knows the problem: manually setting loop markers is time-consuming. A lot of time. This is precisely where the new Loop Finder in the Callers Caddy comes in. It's not meant to replace your ear, but it's designed to take the work off your hands, so you, as the caller, have to search much less yourself. In the article… Read more
With version 0.35, Callers Caddy gets a new tutorial system. The idea behind it is simple: functions should be explained where they are needed. Callers Caddy, in particular, has many widgets and windows with their own tasks. This is practical in everyday use, but can also seem confusing at first. A traditional manual only helps to a limited extent… Read more
Over time, every song database becomes a bit like a desk in real life. At the beginning, everything is neatly organized. But the more evenings you spend calling, the more songs you add, and the more often you spontaneously add something, the more likely it is that little things will be left unfinished. Sometimes the lyrics are missing for a singing call. Sometimes… Read more
Anyone who works with MP3 loops knows the problem: You set the markers precisely, listen to the section, and think: That should be perfect. But then, when playing back normally, the transition still doesn't sound quite right. This is precisely where knowing the correct sequence becomes crucial. Because a good loop isn't created by simply… Read more
The hall is packed, the atmosphere is great, and your dancers are ready. You click once, the right music starts, your playlist is sorted, your loops are in the right place, and every MP3 file is exactly where you need it. Instead of struggling with your software, you stay focused on the dance floor, the timing… Read more
This was a huge advantage when we switched to digital music files and could create endless pattern loops. No more manual, clunky music resets with the remote button. However, setting the loop jump points can sometimes be tricky and time-consuming. With the new Callers Caddy, it's now 1000 times easier. 1. First, you roughly set your jump markers in the song… Read more
1. Good caller tools shouldn't depend on a single person. Some software is more than just a program. Over time, it becomes a tool that people rely on. That's exactly how I see Callers Caddy. There was a first version many years ago. Then life got in the way: parental leave, … Read more
