Cost

Macs Cue is (still!) just $20. Unregistered versions are fully functional except that a short bit of silence is inserted every 15 seconds or so. This should allow you to evaluate the program during sound design and rehearsal. If you have any older version, Macs Cue 2 is a free update.

System requirements

Macs Cue 2.1 requires an Intel-based Mac with at least OS X 10.5 (Leopard). This version no longer supports OS X 10.4, or PowerPC.
