I concur with Rasbury that man alive is it great to be able to have
active volume control in the initial levels window.  Chris I was also
thinking the more I use the program the more I sometimes wish for the
ability to latch or group the faders together so that for example
sends 1 and 2 etc. could "ride" together should I want to do
that....especially now since this last update.  I build all of my
shows in a the rehearsal hall and it would be great to just have to
drag one fader for both channels.  I don't know just a thought.
Happy Birthday Q Lab!!! and thanks again to Chris and the gang.
Really pushing the program hard right now with Strindberg's A Dream
Play and it's not let me down!   Can't wait to get to play with Midi
for a show!

Actually you can group the faders - Click on the solid white boxes  
beneath
each fader to cycle through the group colours.  Faders with the same
coloured box are group, relative to each other.

So if fader 1 is at -10 and fader 2 is at -3 and they are then  
grouped (eg
both set to blue boxes), a reduction in level of -10db will result in  
-20
and -13 for faders 1 and 2 respectively.

You can group as many faders as you like, including the main level.

If you click through the colours you eventually get back to a white box,
which = no group, so you can add and remove faders from groups as you
please.

Grouping is done on a cue-by-cue basis.

I can't seem to figure out how to do a fade IN on a cue.  I can do
fade OUTS, but how does one start a cue at -0dB and ramp up the
volume from there?

I'm probably thinking too much in terms of mixer automation, and am
missing the simple solution.

Thanks once again,
Jerry

That's what the Initial Fade Levels setting is for.  Start the audio
file with the Initial Levels at -INF, then attach a fade to it, pick
a level, a curve and fade time, and you're good to go :)

It would require two cues

1) Sound Cue with Levels set at -inf.  Check the 'continue' button so  
that
it auto follows into

2) Fade Cue - set "Q1" as the target for the fade (drag Q1 onto the fade
cue).  Set the levels in the fade Q inspector, adjust the time of the  
Fade
Cue as needed.

I think this will have the results you are looking for.

Note: to make things a little quicker, set up the Sound Cue with the  
levels
you want, then pull it's main level down to -inf.  Then in the Fade  
Cue you
only have to set the main level to 0dB to achieve the fade.

Hi all, is there a way to pause a cue at any point within that cue  
and resume from that point without using the mouse to click the pause  
and play buttons? I'd love to be able to assign that to the space bar  
if possible. Am I missing something simple??

Thank you in anticipation.

Hi Rory,

There isn't currently a way to assign a key to pause and play, but
there is a ticket for it:

http://figure53.com/trac/index.fcgi/ticket/186

I'd like to add it, and I'm sure I will, although with all of the
recent influx of new users I'm having to do a little shuffling to try
to identify the most crucial fixes and features to do first, so I
make no promises on exactly when this will show up.  :)

Best,
Chris

Hi Chris

It would be a great feature with the possibillity
to pause any que or a que sequence.

It?s really useful when the director shouts "stop" makes a change and
starts on from that point again.
