I'll be soon starting a production where the composer want the music/"sounds" to be able to "bounce" between four or six speakers. I see that I can use the built in matrix and route the sound to different outputs, but I guess I'd need to do a whole lot of fade-cues for the panning to work.
For instance, let's say there's four speakers in a line. I'd want the sound to start at speaker #1, and end up in speaker #4. Would the correct method be to make one fade cue which fades between speaker #1 and #2, then a second which is triggered when the first ends (or slightly before) which fades between speaker #2 and #3, then a THIRD cue to get the sound from speaker #3 to #4?
This seems like a lot of programing, especially if I'd want the sound to just "bounce" pretty randomly between the four speakers.
There are no surround capabilities in the sound desk I'll be using (SD11) afaik. So instead of doing it in Qlab, I'd have to make snapshots and program in fader fade-times in the desk. Would this be less time consuming?
How would you do it?
