GO, fade, stop
Space is GO, F fades out, Esc stops everything. Arrow keys move standby. GO can fade out whatever is still playing before the next cue lands.
Now in private beta for live venues
Every act’s cues, in running order, before doors.
2Booth gives each show one link. Acts send their music, video, images and documents from their phone, with a note for every cue. The booth gets a cached cue list with GO on the space bar.
Free during the beta. Acts never need an account or an app.
Replaces the inbox, the group chat, the thumb drive and the “is this the right version?” at 7:55.
- One place for every act’s files, notes and running order
- No wrong versions: acts swap their own files right up to curtain
- No surprises in level: every file measured before doors
How it works
From booking to blackout in three steps.
-
1
Create a show, share one link
Create a show from the venue dashboard and send acts its link, or print the QR code for the green room. Add a PIN if you want to keep it to the cast.
-
2
Acts send everything from their phone
Tracks, video, images, plus scripts, run sheets and lighting notes. Each cue can have a note (“start on blackout”, “fade on the bows”) and acts drag their cues into order. Files up to 5 GB, sent in parts so a Wi-Fi hiccup only resends one part.
-
3
Run it on a laptop from the booth
Open the Booth View on the show laptop. New submissions appear on their own. Audio caches locally, every file is measured for loudness, and the whole show runs from the keyboard.
The Booth View
Built for the person on the GO button.
Everything you need mid-show is one key away, and nothing pops up while a cue is running.
Cached before doors
Audio downloads to the booth laptop ahead of the show, so playback doesn’t depend on venue Wi-Fi. A status light tells you when every file is ready.
Loudness matching
Each file is measured (EBU R128 integrated loudness) and brought to a target level, −14 LUFS by default, with a limiter on the output. A per-cue trim sits on top.
Screen window
Images and video go to a separate window you drag onto the TV or projector. Video sound plays out of the laptop like everything else, so it reaches the mixer.
Documents panel
Run sheets, scripts, lighting plots and slide decks from acts sit beside the cue list, ready to open, without cluttering the running order.
Live to the last minute
When an act sends a new file or changes a note, it shows up in the booth view on its own. No refreshing, no chasing the latest email.
Cue editor
Trim it in rehearsal, not in panic.
- Set start and end points on the waveform
- Fade in and fade out inside those points
- Preview from any spot, then Start here / End here
- See measured loudness and peak, and the adjustment applied
- Move the trim while a cue plays to set it by ear

FAQ
Questions from the booth.
Do acts need to install anything or make an account?
No. They open the show link or scan the QR code, type their act name and upload. If the show has a PIN, they enter it once.
What happens if the venue Wi-Fi drops mid-show?
Audio is downloaded to the booth laptop before the show and plays from there. The booth view shows when every file is cached and measured, so you know before doors.
Will it replace our existing playback software?
For many cabarets and variety nights, yes: it collects the media and runs the show. If you already run a dedicated cue system, 2Booth still handles the part that system doesn’t: getting every act’s files, notes and order to the booth.
Who handles music licensing?
Public performance licensing stays with the venue, the same as when acts bring a thumb drive. 2Booth moves and plays the files you already have the right to use.
Who can see the files acts send?
Only your venue’s signed-in team. Acts see their own cues, not other acts’. Archiving a show closes its link.
What will it cost after the beta?
The beta is free. Beta venues will hear about pricing before anything changes, with time to decide.
