Fade Pause Fade Stop

[mrs_paddy]

The local theater does a 50/50 raffle at the end of the interval. I would like to fade out and pause the the interval music, have the manager conduct the raffle, then fade back in the interval music for a period before moving to lighting and sound changes for start of act 2. Basically Fade out, pause, fade in, play, fade out, stop to new sound cue.
I do not know if I can get this done on one cue or cue list. Suggestions.

Basically Fade out, pause, fade in, play, fade out, stop to new sound cue.

What you can do is set up a Level Change cue after your Play List cue, to fade out the Play List. Then have a second Level Change cue to bring the level back up again. To implement the "Fade out, pause, fade in, play" sequence, activate the first Level Change cue when you want to fade out the music for the raffle. When the music has faded out you can pause the Play List by clicking the Pause button on the currently playing audio file (in the cue display panels in the lower part of the screen). After the raffle, click that button again (it will now be a Play button), and then activate the second Level Change cue to bring the level up again.

For the end of the interval, make sure your Play List cue has a 'Play List Fade-Out Time' defined in the Editor. Set up an SFR (Stop/Fade/Release) cue pointing to the Play List cue. When you activate this SFR cue the Play List will fade out over the time specified in the 'Play List Fade-Out Time'. If required you can set up your first audio cue after the interval as an auto-start cue, to start 0.00 seconds after the end of the SFR cue.
