• Audio file directory: Tells Viz Mosart where to find the audio countdown files. Files must be in PCM WAV format (16 bit, 48 kHz).
  File naming must adhere to a strict standard. As examples:

  • 60_sec.wav

  • 30_sec.wav

  • 10_sec.wav

  • 5_4_3_2_1.wav

These are only examples. The Viz Mosart GUI countdown feature accepts and plays any file of the above format.
For example, a file named 30_sec can be played when 30 seconds remain of a given event. Similarly, a file named 5_4_3_2_1.wav will play at the 5 second mark. The voice on the wav could either count "5,4,3,2,1" or just announce "5", or what ever you require.
