I know that SFX can trigger an external DVD player, but is there a way to get it to play a DVD chapter in a DVD-ROM drive in the computer much like playing a...
Hi! I'm using SFX 5.6 Build12, Standard Demo in Editor Mode. When I put at the Command Window something like this: "GO Q1.0 B" it works pretty well (the audio...
Hello all, In "Effect Properties" all my wav files are "TRK 2 /44.1khz/ 16 bit. Under the Optimization tab of "Options" I'm at set 2 ch/ 44.1khz, 32 bit. ...
Hello Fernando, I have just downloaded build 14, and checking it out. I have just set up two cue lists in Editor Mode and inserted a command cue into 'A' and ...
... I'm not claiming to be an expert on this topic, but since no one else has answered I'll tell you what my experience and assumptions are: In that window, I...
In discussions of this topic on this list in the past, it seems that the general consensus is that all of your files should be 44.1/16 and that you should have...
I think you might be able to control a dvd drive with MCI commands (showControl version needed). I wouldn't recommend it because, it is my understanding that...
Hello, I'm about to do a show where there will be multiple instances of a dripping water sfx coming from lots of different outputs and cued seperately - will I...
When I've done this I've always found it best to have one file per effect. While accessing a single file by say, 4 cues, might not cause a hiccup, I've tried...
Hi Gareth, I have, in the past, tried to play back the same wav file overlapped by different cues and it has caused major problems cause it is trying to play...
Hey There, Does anyone know if there's a way on the PM1D to trigger an SFX go using one of the 8 user defined buttons? We've been able to send the go message...
If it´s anything like it´s smaller brother the DM2000 the user defined buttons can only transmit Midi machine code or make use of the GPI contact closure...
I ve said it before but anyway. We are doing it the other way around controlling the mixer from SFX. Gives you a LOT more possibilities and a bigger notes...
That's what we´re doing also but the idea here is to get the keyboard out of the way during shows and use a single button on the mixer as a go button for SFX...
I used to use a Tascam DM-something-or-other and we were able to make the transport controls trigger different commands in SFX (Go, Panic, Next, Prev.) I...

The problem is that at the top of the show, cue "A" is the preshow music which has 10 effects, (music wav files) that auto follow each other. The cue is 33...
... Those buttons can't send MIDI, can they? I thought they were just to change pages on the interface. Can you send other info from them? It would be good...
I don't have a SFX rig in front of me (would kill for one - Cricket is wasting my time), so I can't see if this is right way to do what you want. However, I've...
They send RS232, GPI, and MMC as well as other console related stuff and it seems that the console can send the type of midi signal that SFX want to see to...
This is the way I've always done it, but put your panic at the end of the list of fades after like a 15 count wait or else you'll stop the music dead and then...

... This is the right idea, except that instead of "Panic" all the wait commands, you could use a "Stop" command instead. Then trigger all your fades, just...
... I would go with what the others have already said. If you don't need to trigger multiple instances simultaneously (i.e. several triggers of the same .wav...
... Unless your having problems, leave it at 32 bit. The options your looking at are settings for how SFX will communicate with Direct Sound. While it's ...
That concurs with what I've been told by Stage Research. Also there is a noticeable increase in sound quality at very low volumes when using 16 bit files with...

I'm about to send my first tour out on SFX without a sound operator - just a stage manager. I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to how to make it easy...
Hi Rich, From what I can remember of other conversations on the editor version, it is completely possible to edit all busses. You just wont hear the output...
... You can patch all the groups to the same stereo output and then re-patch them when you move 8 output. You will have to re- patch each cue list separately....
... Yes, it is (or I should say was) possible to edit all parameters in Editor Mode. But on the later builds, there is something broken with the Editor ...
