Show Cue System

We have recently moved from a 75 seat basement theatre to a 150 seat proscenium theatre. So my little laptop and giga port HD to mini amps will no longer fit the bill. What is the best on budget set up I should get, that I can teach to volunteers? I know this is a huge question.

What are down sides to using the SCS internal mixer?

I of course mean GoldWAVE

Thanks Mike!! Will add Goldstar right away.

I keep getting an error message "Unavailable Speaker". This happens sometimes when I'm adding a new cue and sometimes when changing a cue. I will not be changing speakers just cue material.

Any clues?

I'm sure I'm missing something simple but... I installed a Gigaport HD interface on our computer, connected to 7 mini amps to power 7 speakers (we have a very small theater). Here is the problem, the SCS will only allow me to assign 2 devices. All 7 speakers work but I can only assign 2. What am I d...

What piece of interface or equipment should I buy to be able to control my speakers via my laptop and SCS? We have a very simple booth with a 6 channel mixer and a 12 speaker selector box. I'm trying to remove the speaker control from the operator.

Thanks for any help

Is it possible to loop a series of cues? I'm trying to repeat 9 connected blizzard cues to fill 2 hours.
