Anyone who regularly calls for clubs, prepares a special, or teaches a class knows the problem: there are always a few things floating around in your head. These thoughts are often important – but unfortunately, they're not always there when you need them. That's precisely why Callers Caddy now offers a new feature: Notes. The new… Read more
Anyone who calls from a laptop or PC quickly encounters the problem: there are more things you want to do with a single keystroke than there are conveniently available keys. Initially, the standard keys are often sufficient. In Callers Caddy, the F5 to F8 keys are already sensibly assigned – for Play, Pause/Resume, Stop, and Fadeout. Read more
The age-old problem: Manual linking. Anyone who regularly imports new songs into their music player knows the scenario: You have a nice MP3 file—and often a lyrics file (RTF, HTML, or TXT) alongside it. The classic workflow: For 10 songs? Doable. For 100 songs? Tedious. For 1,000 songs? Unrealistic. The solution: Lyrics co-import in Callers Caddy. From… Read more
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
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
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
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
Wow, that was so annoying back then! You had to manually calculate how many beats per minute the square dance song had. But modern technology can do that for you very accurately and reliably. That's why automatic BPM measurement is included in Callers Caddy (from version 0.30 onwards).
Every program is fast – without data or users 😉 That's why I absolutely wanted to know how fast the new Callers Caddy is before its release. And not wait until users were suffering to gather feedback. So I tested the performance of my modest list of 518 songs. And then I simply added another 10,000 tracks to the system and… Read more
