Our band is playing 1812 Overture (Tchaikovsky) at our first concert this season. I've been tasked with finding a way to get a recording of cannon fire so a person in the sound booth can press a button to play a 2 or 3 second 'boom' when our MD gives a cue. I've found some recordings but can't figure out how to make it easy for the 'non-musical' folks in the sound booth to do this. Maybe an mp3 file or wave file? Usually these auto repeat. I'd like it to play and stop but be ready to play again when button pushed. Any suggestions?
