[QUOTE="Kevin Maxwell, post: 141200, member: 321"] Re: Musical Theatre Mute/DCA Automation "Granularity"? As I said I personally think the moving faders is the best way as long as you have all the cues written. That way if I have to grab a fader quickly to make a change on the fly I don’t have to hunt to see which one isn’t muted if all the faders are already up. I like the capabilities of the Avid SC48 with its DCA spill function. I think the Midas Pro series has a similar capability but I know nothing about it. I can give you details of how it works on the Avid if you want. But since that isn’t available on the X32 or M32 I won’t waste the time here except to say I would love it if they did incorporate that kind of functionality. You could use a Behringer BCF2000 or when it comes out an X-Touch Compact as a fader wing and that would give you up to 24 input faders at your fingertips. I don’t know if you could add another one to get the full 32 inputs in front of you. I am really cheating on the show I about to start, I am using 2 M32 consoles with one as a sub-mixer and I have spread out the inputs across both mixers. And they are both being controlled at the same time by Palladium. I will eventually in one of these threads post a picture of the setup. I have one in front of me and one to my right. I start Monday with the first rehearsal with sound and we open on Thursday and close Saturday night, 4 public performances only. We had one of the kids (who will be next to me giving me the cues) enter all of the movements in CH Sound Designs Moves program. I just take that do some minor manipulations in MicPlot and then import it to Palladium. I haven’t run a single cue live yet and I have the show already written. It all depends on how good the kid did as to how much fixing we will have to do on the fly. BTW DCA reassignment has recently been added to Palladium using the OSC protocol and the next release (coming very soon) will have even more capabilities by using OSC for the protocol. A lot of how much you get into the different methods is how much time do you have to set it up and how quickly can you work with it. Especially if you have to make changes on the fly. [/QUOTE]
