Show Cue System

Yes, there is an undocumented way... Gosh! That's not the answer I was expecting. It seems to work fine doing that. Thank you so much. Fingers crossed it will keep working. As I said earlier, I love all the new features in version 10, many of which I have wished for and some of which I even asked f...

I keep getting blue screen crashes when I start SCS 10.4 . I get a dialog box saying the ASIO MME configuration has changed and asking whether to test it. The crash happens between 1 and 10 seconds after that. At first I thought the problem was my EMU Cardbus PC Card sound card, so I uninstalled thi...

Thanks Mike,

A vertical scrollbar on the lower panel would be very useful.

Cheers,
Matt

This topic follows on from the topic requesting EQ in tracks. Many music multitrack DAWs like Cubase and Logic etc have a virtual mixer, which can include effects. This feature would be absolutely awesome in SCS and would increase it's power tremendously. I would love to be able to apply effects suc...

A useful feature for me would be to make the bottom half of the main playback screen scrollable. I often have many subcues playing at one time and currently the screen only displays 5 at once. I would love to be able to scroll down to see the rest.

Thanks Mike. Good idea to try the different sample rate - I'll do that later today. I am currently using 9.5.1 The EMU card has a bit of software called Patchmix in which the user creates a virtual mixer with channels that are then routed to the physical inputs and outputs. You can actually create W...

Hello, I've been using SCS for a few years and I'm a huge fan but it's not working too well with my new EMU 1616M soundcard on my laptop. There are two problems: Firstly the sound often breaks up into crackles and distortion. This seems to happen gradually, starting fine then suddenly starting to cr...

Hi Mike, The reason for my request is not because I actually want to make the sounds louder or quieter. It's because I want to keep the actual output levels roughly what they currently are but have more dB to play with within SCS. E.g. I have found myself in the situation where all my SCS levels are...

Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply - now I understand about pre-loading 15 cues. I had 13 subcues because I was making a battle scene and I had each burst of gunfire or bomb as an individual subcue. The reason for this was to keep it flexible so I could alter all the timings and levels during rehearsal, ...

Hi Mike, I usually prepare all my cues in SCS before the technical rehearsals of a show, then edit them during the tech as we go through all the cues. Quite often I find that my cues are all too loud or too quiet, but this doesn't become evident until half way through the tech. For example, I might ...

Hi Mike, I can't recall exactly what happened but I'm pretty sure I did have the editor open then SCS shut down unexpectedly. I had been having a few other problems with other dialog messages popping up before this fatal error but it was possible to continue after these. Sorry I can't recall more de...

I have had this error myself this week a couple of times. To my utter dismay I have then found that the sound cue file has a size of 0 kB and is completely empty - SCS has wiped the file!. You may want to check the properties of the file and try opening it in Notepad to see if this has happened. Luc...

I do sound design as a freelancer for different companies at different places. As I understand the SCS license, it's okay for me to have copies of SCS on different computers so long as only one is used at any time. I often need to put SCS onto a company's PC so it can be used for the run of the show...

I have a couple of cues that remain in a state of 'Not Loaded' even when they are next on the list and I need them to play. The cue that precedes these cues has 13 subcues and these cues have 3, 4 and 6 subcues respectively. I'm guessing that this is something to do with the problem. Are there some ...

That's great news, Mike.

Martin - thanks for the tip with Alt N / Alt B. I didn't know that and it's a good workaround.

Cheers,
Matt
