[QUOTE="Dave Korman, post: 97308, member: 1894"] Re: Live Musical Theater I considered that solution and it would be OK for the scenes you prepare "off line" before going to the venue, but if you need to insert new scenes during the show/rehearsal (something else the desk itself needs to be able to do without using a PC - there simply isn't time to operate a mouse etc whilst the show is running. Similarly, it's simply not practical to edit a scene file whilst you're riding 16-24 radio mic levels, and following every lie of script and every move on stage - the desk needs to be able to do it internally. Something like a "record only" soft key, then you press the channel selects for each channel you want to record (which then flash, perhaps), then press Save Scene softkey. Once in the theatre, there generally isn't time to sit down and edit the scene files later either, as you are usually up against hiring time contraints and have to get out of the building pretty quick after the rehearsal ends (I guess it's different if you work at the theatre, but generally I am in a receiving house and we only get access to the building during our contracted hire hours). OK, I could take the scene files home, edit them there and then re-load them next evening but that's a pain too! [/QUOTE]
