Importing/Linking SCS Files? (in 9.4)
Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 12:42 am
I've been using SCS for both my community theater and my radio drama troupe for the past year and I *love* this program! It's saved me a thousand headaches over the previous years of the show when I used SoundPlant to trigger files or, worse, multiple instances of Adobe Audition!
Anyway, one feature that would make my life even easier: importing or linking SCS files. Here's the deal:
Once a year my community theater does a one-acts festival. I work with each individual director to put together the soundscape for their play. This results in 6-7 individual files which I eventually have to combine into a whole. Trouble is, there isn't -- so far as I can tell -- a way to merge them all into one SCS file, so I end up having to manually reprogram the entire show. This can be really tricky, as it involved scores of cues and the potential for screwing up is pretty great.
(I have to combine the files, as each play has a closing song transition into the opening song of the next play, so there's no time to load the next play file).
How hard would it be to code a method of importing existing SCS files or linking them so that the next file opens without interrupting the playing of the previous one? Barring that, could the program be coded so that more than one instance of SCS can be open at a time?
Thoughts? Suggestions?
