record wind down

[domiii]

I'm doing a show where the actor on stage unplugs a Jukebox. I want the sound of a record winding down but, the unplug happens at different times in the record as it has to fit the action on the stage.

Any ideas on the best way to do this in SCS?

Thanks in advance!

SCS currently doesn't support tempo or pitch control. If suitable you could have a pre-recorded winding down of a fairly general sound. Obviously that's not ideal as it would not be a continuation of what was being heard at the time of the event, but it may be a workable compromise. You could set this up in a cue together with an SFR sub-cue to stop the main audio track.

Just what I am doing. I am using a general section from the song it works.

Just wanted to see if anyone has a better idea.

Hi. This may sound a bit condescending so I will try and not be.

Given how easy SCS makes sound operation for techs/operators the op should have a hand or two free so ... can you do a live feed into SCS or the mixer from a sampler with pitch tempo control or maybe a netbook with appropriate software and have the op manually wind down the 'speed'?

As an aside, I needed this years ago. At the time, I could use a real turntable and just turn off the power!

Recently, I used the same method you're trying, domiii, and it was fine.

Best,
