[QUOTE="Daniel McAllister, post: 123730, member: 2431"] Re: X32 Discussion Hi Peter, I've used cues on a couple of shows recently - mainly using the snippet feature as a quick way to apply a global edit to existing scenes. V2 is certainly much more flexible for musical theatre. I do have around 25 cues programmed for the show, but there are still scenes that require quick a bit of manual fader work in quick succession. Some of the cast also walk on and off stage within a few seconds of each other, returning several seconds later! Admittedly the easiest option would be to just leave them all open at the cue for a scene they're in. The unusual nature of the show makes it more tricky than normal. There's no set 'principals' and a 'chorus' - all cast members have lines, and all also sing in varying groups as the chorus (the show is Company). That's why it can't really be done via DCAs - every mic is a principal and chorus member. Intrigued about the suggestion of having multiple DCAs assigned to the same channel. I always assumed that if two DCAs were assigned to a channel, having either one of those DCAs pulled down would mute the channel..? Anyway, we've just done a brief run of the show, and I ended up settling on a DCA for all the RF channels, plus a pre-fader send from all RF channels to a linked 'Chorus Group' bus, with the send pans set appropriately to give it a bit of a spread. Then that bus is assigned to a Chorus DCA. So now I can quickly mix any individual, duet, etc lines on the left-hand side, but also have the option to kill all those instantly using the first Vocal DCA, and also instantly have a nice chorus sound just by bringing up the Chorus DCA linked to the bus - all at the sound check level regardless of the position of that individual's mic on the left hand side. Also gives a handy way to send all the vocals currently live in the FOH mix to the monitors for the orchestra. Each to their own I guess, but that worked nicely for me in the end. Also, can anyone else check this for me as a possible bug in X-Edit..? Set various inputs to send to a bus, some Pre Fader, some Pre EQ, some post, etc. Now in the bus config, use the option to set them all to Pre Fader. I found that it set them all to Pre EQ instead. It was a show file converted from V1 though, so that could have messed it up. Thanks for all the comments. [/QUOTE]
