Synchronized lighting to CD or MP3 playback

Hi,

I would like to synchronize a light show, to an audio track playback. Other programs have the ability to initiate mp3 or CD playback from the same [GO] button that triggers the associated cue stack. Not sure if it's that easy on the Hog 3PC. I have read up on the CD timecode option, and midi abilities, but it's still not that clear as to how to implement it. Seems like a pretty common request to sync lighting to a specific audio track.

My light program uses conventional Source 4's, strobes, and movers. I want to sync strobe flashes to thunder crashes, so split-second timing is crucial to making it look right. I'm hoping for a one-button solution to trigger the audio track and the start of the synchronized light show at the same time.

Anyone that has successfully done this, please weigh in with specifics.

Thanks so much.
