EasyShow

hey nick. hat has never happened to me so i cant relate. but i always start and end my songs on easy show with a init button if even for a quick M's. it helps get the lights lined up and ready for the next song or u can do a prep scene. a prep scene is where u have the shutters off but the gobo and color ready for the first scene this is also useful for fade in's. about your issue i would like to say it could have been a glitch kinda like it didn't fully process right away which could have caused the delay. were the shows back to back? sincerely,

the shows are back to back in one project file.

ya that could of been it. what kind of computer are you running and what are the specs? like processors, ram and video card? and windows version. and i assume you are using the dec. 21st update of Compu Live?

IBM Thinkpad
2.4Ghz CPU
1GB Ram
40gb HD barely used
Video Card is onboard and probably crappy
Windows XP 2005-ish
12-21-07 CompuLive

The show ran great yesterday as well, playing through 3 different shows changing tracks no problem with no glitch or skip... just that one time it happened worries me.

hmmm. i would say worry if it happens again. you know coula have just been the puter getting used to this software type of thing. im glad to hear it went down good! how you like Compu Live so far? feedback is good! lol

well i got it to do what i want it to do which is a GREAT THING... i don't know if i'm allowed to post links on this forum so feel free to delete this, but here is a video from our show the other night, all the lights you see are ours and it's all done in easyshow:

feedback tho: i haven't found an easy way to copy and paste in easy show, am i missing something or is it not an option? i was hoping the software would work as well as audio or video software such as cubase, protools, etc... but the interface is way less advanced. All in all it is OK because I can do what I want to do, it just takes FOREVER. I am worried right now about having to stick another song in the middle of my setlist and not having an easy way of shifting all the other songs over.

Nick. nice i like it!! what was the rig in that vid? i havent had a chance to mees around with easy show in a little while but let me take a look around and i should have an answer for ya tommorrow. again sweet video! sincerely,

we built little floor mounts for our led par196 lights, clamped one on the back of the bass amp for me (The drummer). we have 4 moving head mini wash lights that are also on the floor. there are 2 colorstrips on each guitar amp. It is a really easy setup, once our instruments and amps are in place we drop the lights and hook them up in less than 5 minutes.

our next step i think is black lights.

Very nice nick i will be watching that vid a few more times.

Hey nick! im not too sure if thisis what you mean but you can copy and paste scenes in the timeline. just right click on the scene you want to copy and then move the red line (the counter) to where u want to paste the scene and then right click and select paste at current time. let me know if this is what you needed. thanks! sincerely,

well, i have about 100 scenes of a crazy variety of lengths throughout each song... i was wondering if i could select all the scenes and their locations for each song, cut and paste them wherever i want, for instance if i insert another song in the middle of the setlist, i have to move the last few songs down a couple minutes to line them back up.

sorry nick but u might want to either make sperate files for each group of songs or individually. but what u want will have to be done manually i believe. u can trigger easy show via the master pgae so that way no matter what song u want in any order u can just click on it. i can elaborate later tonight. got to go! sincerely,
