Sound Check

Post by kharney » Thu Mar 02, 2006 12:32 pm

Mike,

If I loop a sound cue and make changes in Pan and volume based on the start time of the cue when it loops will those effects be repeated. My idea is to create a sound cue that checks all the speakers as a sound check that will continuously run until I am done checking everything.

BTW this is my first show with your system and I LOVE IT !!!!! How could I have done it the old fashioned way all this time.

Glad you like the program, but no, the looping of the level changes is not available. Not a bad idea, though, and not just for speaker tests.

I thought by linking the changes to the beginning of the cue that when I repeated the cue they would change again. But you are right they do not. Any ideas for another way of doing this ....

Not totally within SCS, but I do have a suggestion that may seem overkill but will probably work (I haven't tried it):

You could loop a MIDI cable from MIDI Out to MIDI In, set up MIDI Control of cues, set up a MIDI Send Cue to auto-start 0 seconds after the end of your last test tone, sending a MIDI message back to SCS to activate the first cue in your sequence. Just make sure you DO NOT have MIDI Thru selected or that MIDI Send message will keep looping around!
