MSC with Markers

[bane]

This request is based of my other post in the General forum.

As I mentioned, we tend to quite a few dance shows at my school and I love using MSC to execute split second cues. The way I go through the process is as follows:

I first open the .wav file in Sound Forge and use the marker feature to mark where I would like cues to be executed. The timings from these markers are then entered into SCS's auto start feature for control send cues. I was wondering if there could be something designed so that instead of doing these markers in Sound Forge, I can instead place markers on the audio files in SCS itself which can be labeled and then called accordingly in the control send cue.

It's not really that huge of a deal, but having markers to place in a visual representation of the beats seems to be a lot easier than to try and enter auto start times.

Is this do-able? If this request makes no sense please let me know. And I'll try to better explain it.

Makes good sense, bane, and it can be done. It would be necessary to provide an auto-start option that nominates a particular marker in the WAV file of an audio file sub-cue.

I quiete agree with the use of markers.
I think there would be another way to solve that problem.
Sound Forge is a reference as a sound edition software.
SCS is for me the best sound player.
When you put some markers, regions, or loop in Sound Forge, all these markers are saved in the header of the wav file [/u]as labels (as defined in the microsoft "wav bible").
In Sound Forge, you can also save these markers in a separated files (.sfl) (the process in SF is= Edit/Region list/Save as)
That means that if SCS could read these labels that are included in wav files created by Sound Forge, then you could yse in any playlist your dance sounds with markers automaticaly included... That would allow many other applications.
What do you think about that, Mike ?
