Stop "checkbox" in Level Change cue
Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2009 5:05 am
Dear Mike,
I would like to request a "stop when fade completes" checkbox for the Level Change cue type.
Here's why:
I find the SFR cue type to be very useful, and this would be the normal "fade and stop" programming tool.
However, the wonderful thing about using the Level Change cue to "empty" the space is that you can prescribe exactly how the sound will leave the space. In my current show, I fade out a basketball court scene into a small-town exterior, and by using variable fade times, I have been able to give the feeling of the entire previous atmosphere blowing away laterally with the wind.
But, the problem is that once the Level Change cue completes, I still need to "bury" some SFR cues to release those playing files.
My suggestion for the UI is simply a checkbox that says "Stop affected cues when all fades are complete." The Level Change cue type would work as it does today if the checkbox were left blank, and would be the equivalent of adding SFR "stop" cues afterwards if the box were checked.
Respectfully submitted,
Bruce
