Show Cue System

Just a comment on John's last post about Windows stability, particularly XP; don't run anything on a production PC which is not required. If you can avoid running Windows Firewall, Antivirus Software and also disable any services which are not required in Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Servi...

You also need some way of quickly switching the audio outputs from the main machine to the backup, Relays?? or if you're using external USB soundcard, switching the USB over to the backup machine. Then, what happens if your Midi stop/go trigger fails! What happens if you get a power blip? computer ...

Hi Josh, There are a number of ways of achieving what you want to do. I have experimented with 2 x SCS (1 as a backup) in 2 ways. 1) Use an external MIDI trigger via a MIDI splitter to send 'GO' to 2 SCS machines at the same time. 2) Use 2 PC's linked via MIDI with every cue on machine 1 which requi...

There is some more discussion on this topic http://www.soundcuesystem.com/forum/viewtopic.p...

Don't think this is a 'feature'. (!) Steps to reproduce : Create 2 audio cues in production editor and then click save . Now click on each of these cues in turn and alter the current position on each of the cues by clicking on the waveform. Now close the editor. Run the first cue (right click). What...

I haven't had specific experience of this desk but the Yamaha M3000 range (M3000-40C, M3000-24 and M3000A) support MIDI control of the scene memories on the sound desk as far as I am aware. You would therefore be able to set up 'scenes' (mute scenes) and store these into a scene memory on the sound ...
