Paused cues resume at original level (10.7.3)

Post by d_korman » Thu Oct 07, 2010 9:03 pm

Mike,

I am having a problem with pause and resume of cues, in that when I resume a cue, it comes back in at the original level, not the level it was at when it was paused!

I have a standard audio file cue at -6, followed by a level change cue to -15, followed by a pause and hibernate and then by a resume, and the cue resumes at -6. Even if I add a level change cue after the resume, auto-starting at 0 after start of the resume with a zero fade time to reset the level, I still get a short blast at -6 which is very noticeable.

Surely when a paused cue is resumed it should carry on exactly as it was when paused?

Also - I'd like to be able to change the level whilst the cue is paused, so that I can resume it a different level, but a level change cue that is run when the main cue is paused has no effect.

Thanks

Confirmed as a bug. Now fixed in SCS 10.7.4 RC3.

How are you pausing the cue? I've tried a few scenarios and the Level Change cue is actioned OK.

Just by a pause & hibernate cue, followed by a level change cue autostarting atfer the pause & hibernate - though it didn't work when I fired the level change manually either. I'll check again this evening and report back.


Edit/Update: OK, the level change cue does work whilst the cue is paused, but of course with the version I was running the resume cue negated its effect!
