Dial in the clip & timing

The difference between a good walk-up and a great one is where the song starts. WalkAmp's clip editor gets you to the drop, to the tenth of a second.

1

Open the clip editor

From a player's song, open the clip editor. You'll see the track with handles marking where the clip starts and ends.

2

Drag the handles to the moment

Slide the start handle to the chorus, the drop, or the riff everyone knows. Set the clip length so it plays exactly as long as you want at the plate.

3

Fine-tune to the tenth of a second

Nudge the start time and duration numerically when the handles get you close but not perfect. If the beat lands at 42.3 seconds, start it at 42.3 seconds.

4

Choose how it meets the announcement

Decide whether the song starts after the announcer finishes — "…Jake Rivera!" then the drop — or plays under the announcement like a real stadium bed. You can also mute the announcement or the song for any individual player.

5

Preview the whole intro

Play it back — announcement and clip together — so you hear exactly what the ballpark will hear. Adjust until it feels right.

💡 On previews? Without an Apple Music subscription, songs play their official 30-second preview, which is usually already cut to the best part of the song. Subscribers can start the full track anywhere.

Make every drop land on cue.
