Hi All, So I have what may seem to some to be kind of an amateurish question, but I'll ask anyway... ;-) In the past I've mostly used the AB units for a nice...
Richard, I can tell you some of my ways of working with the AB. The first thing I always do is to write a cue that executes as the show opens. That cue sets...
I agree with John sounds to me like you have a pretty good plan. One thing I would highly recommend for a theatre show is including crosspoint routing in each...
... I'm finding this whole discussion very interesting since there are lots of ideas presented that I don't really have distinct opinions about simply because...
... So long as we don't take your name in vain? (grin> ... Actually, I didn't suggest that. I said that having an output matrix was, in some ways, easier to...
This was just a suggestion as if you get lazy like me you do not load files before playing them. Sometimes I have found particuarly with HD's and particuarly...
... OK. That makes sense. I guess I've never run into that problem, because I seldom LOAD cues before a GO. Also interesting is that you got my post from the...
... So if each cue has it's own specific cue number, like your #8001 example, then when I'm sending a MSC Go command from the main list to the secondary list,...
Thanks Scott and John for your replies. Mostly I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. ;-) ... Definitely! Figured that one out a number of...
... This happens to me on Yahoo groups and even Theatre-Sound all the time. I love when I get a reply to a post, before I get the original post that started...
... Even just the small knobs in a 64x64 Matrix probably won't fit on most computer screens. Or if it does the Crosspoints Window will have to take up an...
... What I was asking was something like whether or not you could invoke crosspoint settings from a separate cue list and have the cue work correctly when a....
... I see no reason either of these situations will make it impossible to put crosspoint settings into separate cue lists, no matter what combination of ...
... The general rule for MSC in general (my, that's redundant!) should be that if you send a GO for a non-existant cue number the GO gets ignored. So if you...
... Yes, is the quick answer and Loren's is the detailed one ;-) ... I'm not sure you mean this exactly -- I would say something like 'the last cue fired...
... Well I think I kind of explained it in my one response to John's initial response. (as if that makes any sense!) ;-) But just to be clear: Here is the...
... Yes, you did explain it very clearly! I just questioned a couple of aspects of your expressed difficulties.... ... And just to make the reasoning clear as...
... And I hope that my posts have not come across as argumentative either. I've kind of approached this thread as "thinking out loud", and have been lucky...
Hi everyone.... well, the moment has arrived that ABShowmaker is finally released for beta testing!! We hope that everyone who can will try this amazing new...

Yes, the program is much more responsive when it has an AudioBox to respond to ;-) Particularly the Live Window where one finds crosspoints, EQ, I/O levels,...
Just want to get this clear and make sure that I'm not missing something big here: Charlie says: (you don't need an AB64 to check it out, of course, since it's...

... To be fair, this is essentially what ABEdit does without an AudioBox. Of course, Loren rectified this somewhat by producing SoundMan-AB which simulates ...
... The New command in the Edit menu (key equivalent command-N) puts a show template into the editor. We have in mind beefing up this template show, but for...
Charlie, Sorry to be late to the game here... I can't seem to get this program to do anything at all. I type or use the weird option-drag in the matrix to set...
... The live window generates AudioBox commands and displays the status of the connected AudioBox AB64. Without a AudioBox connected, there is no status to...
... This was also my initial reaction. I've played around with the show editor as well, but I'm planning on waiting until I have an AB64 to play with until I...

... I'm assuming that this is because it is a beta copy, and not yet ready for public consumption? A stand alone editor should act like a fully functional ...
... I agree. It wouldn't even make a bid list unless I totally knew the box inside and out, as well as the software that I would need to program it with. ... ...
... No, I didn't write ABShowmaker. Do you really think I've had enough time to do that too?!! ;) MacFOH works quite a bit differently, but I did write a...
