Its been a very long time since I have participated in CB, but hoping to get back into the forums. I can't comment on all of the flavors of playback in this thread. My Cue Lab experience ended one awful night when the mini decided we asked to much of it and fired a couple unrelated cues...

Sorry ...My Bad. A wrote this a while back and apparently never got it posted correctly. A little bit of experience with Cue Player that I am going to attach because of the length.

I'll start with the disclaimer that its not my program but it can do what you want in its sleep. Recently did a show that combined four different machine sound files added one at a time as actors "started" them on stage while simultaneously playing a music accompaniment for the live singing...

Thanks for the reply. I have picked up a couple of "key chain" type leds lights and going to try a little piece of gel over the led to make a more believable color and see how that looks. Its cheap anyway so not much loss if it doesn't look like I hope.JC

Looking for thoughts on creating the visual of gunfire...specifically flintlock gunfire. After considering the options for using powder operated prop weapons it seems that even though they come with huge safety issues particularly on a crowded stage, none would provide the distinct sound of...

After many years I've finally found the perfect answer. Go to the medical supply house (where you buy your tape) and ask for Ostomy Adhesive Remover. The brand I use is "Smith & Nephew UniSolve Liquid Adhesive Remover." Its a bit pricey (like there was anything about theater that is not)...

Nothing like responding to a really old thread..... But I have been so delighted with resent results in this area that I thought it was till worth sharing. First off, I'll preface the remarks with the fact that I am using Cue Player Premium Plus and have been absolutely delighted with the...

Seemed appropriate for a sound engineer

Good point on the late folks. I'm actually equally if not more concerned for our volunteers who usher and operate concessions, and I'm glad to know that you aren't happy with the Sony. We actually were getting along well with the old color security camera till they took away all those...

My solution to the channel issue is keeping control of all the remotes. :) For the sake of simplicity I'm willing to let my trusted front of house manager make the decision what TVs show which feed during the show. The downside of the switcher is that the closest cable route to where the...

I think I've read all the older threads that address some of these issues, but it seems like the technology is changing pretty quickly so maybe someone has some new ideas. Our 1400 seat theater formerly had video fed to CRT monitors via composite video. The camera was an inexpensive color...

Hello Folks First off, sound, not lights is my side of the booth, but I've rebuilt the power supplies for the spots in our theater a couple times simply because no one else has an interest. They are 2k long throws branded Colortran ColorArc 2000. Although they are 25 plus years old, they...

Here is an easy fix if it is a ground problem. Cable drops should be grounded to the utility ground where they enter the building, but my experience is that it usually doesn't happen. The closest ground may be outside the building or even several poles away from the building. Very...

I'll be darned. Didn't expect to see you here Dave. Looks like I had your name wrong, but what I said about the program is dead on. Thanks again for all your help.

We have been using the HME 800 series for many years with great performance and reliability. Many of the Broadway tours we book have the same system and all have all reported good performance. I just sent one of the packs to HME for repair of case damage and circuit board damage (it was...
