Hello everybody, I've just joined this group and I think it will be very helpfull to us, we've just purchased a SFX package with Show control and I'm looking...
I'll jump in and give you a recommendation on the sound card: For all my shows I've been using the Echo Audio Layla 24 sound card. Very clean sounding and...
I'll "echo" Carlton After all my bad experiences with the old Wave 824, I love our new Layla 24. cliff Clifford O. Low, Theater Manager - Light/Sound Designer ...
Hi Folks. As a new user, I am also following this tread with interest. I was wondering if anyone had similar, or different, recommendations for a sound card...
USB is fine, but I doubt I'd want to use it in a critical situation like running a show. Better to look at getting something like the MOTU 828 (Firewire) or...
I will also "Echo" Carlton's recommendation for the Layla card. I am very happy with it after using the Gadget Labs Wave4 and 824. The Layla is available...
I've heard of people using the 828 successfully with SFX. In order to use all 18 outputs, you'd have to have a second cue list- you only get 16 outs in a...
... Why would there be latency between the different pairs out outputs? Are you talking about plain old clock drift? This would be taken care of by locking to...
... No unfortunately this is how it works. At least with anything up to version 5.5 of SFX anyway. The delay between the first output and the last output you...
We're using SFX 5.6 Pro Audio here at lovely Boston University, and we've encountered a problem in our cue lettering. SFX can handle triple letter cues (MMM,...
One small correction to my original post: The lettering is ok thru LLL, but anything beyond that (MMM, NNN, OOO) converts to NTO.99 We're all very confused....
Just curious- Does SFX allow cue letters like BD.5? How do you insert cues in the lettering system? I tried doing this method once in college, but it was a...
I suppose that the main advantage of supporting only a couple of numberingsystems is that you can do great things like automatic renumbering and go to q35 and...
... Yes, SFX does allow for cues like BB.5. It can actually go to two decimal places, so it could also be cue BB.56 as well. This whole subject is always fun...
... Not meaning to be facetious here, but what would a sound operator be doing on intercom anyway? ;-P If the show has enough cues that it actually matters one...
... Well not knowing how you guys work over there across the pond, but I was talking about shows I did several years ago. When I was in college the "Sound...
From another practioner from across the pond {UK} all rep theatre I have done in the last 15+ years has been done from inside the LX/SFX control booth. We...
Had my first go at 5.6 today. Tried loading my freshly produced music tracks mixed to 24-bit. Sounded really nice. BUT! When stopping the cues with the Escape...
So I just go a report of a rather strange SFX problem. the situation is that during a wait cue towards the end of the show SFX turned its self off. SFX...
I know this has been mentioned on list before, but I'm just too lazy to search archives. Is anybody successfully using a Wavecenter PCI card with SFX? I'm...
... I put it to you that it is extraordinarily bad practice to have any operator in a position where they can't hear what they are doing - be that because one...
... Strong words. Followed by more. You are WRONG. I have done a number of shows with very tight cue sequences that did not include automation. The operator...
... So how do they manage on musicals when actors skip text? And someone who is line-crunching radio-mics wouldn't be too busy to look at a green light which...
Rich, For the most part I agree with you. The main advantage for the use of headsets for sound ops on playback shows is for the operator who may or may not be...
... This happens all too often. It gets worse if they realize that they've skipped, then go back to try and improvise a band-aid for the confusion. You...
Well I'll make a few comments...but I think these should be my last, because we are starting to stray pretty far off topic here. :-) ... Well if you want to...
