General question?
Posted: 26 October 2011, 20:04
I have used this software for a long time. Can get around in it very easy, but have 2 quick questions that I can't seem to get answered any help would be appreciated.
1- does sweet light have any boundary control? So I play on 1 stage & it is 20x20x15 but the next stage is completely different can I somehow adjust something to where my scenes will fit both stages the way I originally programed them?
2- this is much more complicated. What's the best way to program lights if your going to midi the lights & have them in time with the tracks I'm playing with? I know how to do this as far as programing the midi with software. I am trying to find the best concept of how to do this? Let me explain.
Normally I program a scene it could have 1 step or multiple steps. Then somebody on the stage steps through the scenes in live, I normally have 5-17 scenes per song. Now I'm playing with tracks & a click so everything can be midi & nobody on the side of the stage.
I'm trying to wrap my head around can I instead of programing multiple steps in a scene. Have multiple places on the stage & each place on stage assigned to a midi note. Then have each color assigned to a midi note etc. Etc. Anybody have any ideas?
3-can I assign multiple midi notes to pull up the multiple things that I have? Such as midi note for color midi note for gobo midi note for place on stage. Can I hit all 3 midi notes on measure 6 of the song & it work?
