Show Cue System

Hello,

Just used the SCS / X32TC system for my first musical show last night - fantastic!

Compared to what I have done in the past, this was so much better. As each song was started, I was able to automatically set up the required mic's for that particular piece, bring in a bit of reverb etc. At the end of the song, reset the mic's for any dialogue and so on.

Running the show was comparatively straightforward, but I found during rehearsals, I was jumping around a lot between SCS and X32TC resetting both cuelists at their correct spots to rehearse a particular number.

So I was thinking whether there could was a way they could be linked so that, if for instance, I backed up on SCS for one song or another X32TC would automatically follow suit. X32TC has a "jump to <cue number>" command, so if each SCS cue carried a corresponding X32TC cue number as an attribute, perhaps that could optionally be fired off to keep the two cuelists in sync.

Maybe I am missing something and there is already some other way to achieve this.

Would be interested to hear other thoughts.

Technically that would be quite easy to implement. I'll have a think about it.

Thanks for your comments on using SCS with X32TC. Glad to know they work well together.
