Redirection

Somthing useful to us would be that if you could have the q stack do the following

q1 Play file through FOH output on sound card 1
q2 Fade to a different level and change output to FX panned left

This would be useful for when you want to have your intro music fading to an onstage fx speaker for a TV or radio.

Easy done ... create 2 cues using the same wav file with the second auto-starting 0 secs after the first. The first would be for the curtain music through the house speakers and the second would play the same music for the speaker on stage. The volume onstage could be zero. A 3rd cue would fade out the main house when required and would be auto-followed by a 4th which brings up the volume on the stage speaker. I would tend to have the stage speaker running at the preset volume in cue 2 though and this would then be 'revealed' as the house speakers faded out.
Hope this is what you meant ?

Yeah sure thats how I fudge it in at the moment, but why have 4 ques when all you need is two?

My initial thoughts were the same as dikt and apparently what you are already doing. I am currently working on changes to allow for up to 4 separate output devices per audio file cue, so that will reduce your 4 cues to 3. I still have some work to do on level change cues, so I'll look at providing separate level change settings for each of the outputs. That would bring the 3 cues down to 2.

Meanwhile, for anyone else wanting this kind of functionality note that you can do this right now using the method explained by dikt. Just make sure your two audio file cues point to the same file and that you give them exactly the same Start At and End At times. Even though your first audio file cue is going to be faded out before the second one, the cues MUST have exactly the same duration for SCS to link them in the audio driver.
