[QUOTE="Max Warasila, post: 141424, member: 3845"] Re: Musical theater cue management. Kevin, I finally got my first theatrical run on a digital console this week and I agree - there's no going back. I was using the LS9 without any external scene management, and it left something to be desired. Coming from experience with lighting consoles, I feel like the audio world is in need of some serious help in the automation side of things (though the LS9 is notorious for it's poor theatrical scene performance). The X32 system of snippets is actually quite good - akin to palettes or presets in lighting, which are very powerful. The only problem with it is that I don't like the rest of the X32 workflow. It sounds like Palladium could really help with this, but I'm not sure if it's what I'm looking for, since it requires an outside computer. I'm really looking for a completely internal scene engine that is suitable for theater - sadly I think it only exists above 20k priced consoles. Very sad, actually. Of course, I've got a whole ton of other consoles to try out before I can thoroughly declare automation a lost cause. IIRC, I'll be around an SD8,9 or 10 in college, so I'm excited for that.
