Per-song settings
Each song has individual settings that override global defaults for that song only. Open them by clicking the chevron on the song card to expand it. A change marks the show as unsaved (the title-bar Save button shows *); press Ctrl+S / Cmd+S to write it to the show file. Auto Backup keeps separate copies in the meantime.
Volume and fades
- Trim — volume adjustment in dB applied to this song only, set with a slider from −24 to +12 dB in 0.5 dB steps;
0 dBmeans no change; use this when one song is noticeably louder or quieter than the rest of the setlist - Fade in — automatic fade-in applied at the start of the song; a slider from 0 to 30 seconds in 0.5 s steps;
Off(0) disables the fade - Fade out — fades the music out over the last N seconds of the song (0 to 30 seconds,
Offat 0). The same time is whatEscfades over when you stop the song; the Stop button always cuts at once
Each slider moves with the mouse wheel, one step per notch, and double-clicking it resets it to 0 dB / Off.
Downbeat and time signature
- Downbeat — sets the anchor for the bar ruler shown in the waveform view; click Set at playhead to stamp the current playhead position as bar 1 beat 1; the bar grid lines up from this point; useful when you want cue markers to align to bar boundaries
- Time signature — beats per bar (numerator); default is
4for 4/4 time; controls how the bar ruler divides; denominator is always treated as quarter notes
After-finish destination
The after-finish setting controls what LTCast does when this song ends, but it is not in this panel: right-click the song and choose After this song…. The available destinations are: go to next song, go to first song, go to last song, stop, loop this song, go to a specific song by name, or follow the global auto-advance setting. See After-finish destination for full details.
Batch editing multiple songs
If several songs are selected, expand any one of them and change Trim, Fade in, Fade out or Time sig: the change is applied to every selected song. The panel shows the values of the card you expanded; it does not count the affected songs or flag fields whose values differ between the songs. The Downbeat button is never batched — it stamps the playhead position, which only makes sense for the song you are on.
Clearing a per-song setting
To remove a trim or a fade, double-click its slider (or drag it back to 0): the song returns to 0 dB or Off and the badge disappears. Downbeat has a Clear button that sets the anchor back to the start of the song, and the time signature goes back to the default when you choose 4/4. This lets you override only the settings that need to differ without locking in every field for a song.
