9-6 Dynamic Cues
Sound Automation Manager Revision SAM2005-2
<19 &URVV#IDGH#FRQWURO
A dynamic mix may sometimes be as simple as to move faders from one position to
another in a given amount of time. Rather than to go through the trouble of creating a
mix file, you can use the Cross-Fade feature to make this operation easier. You will
find the cross-fade control in the Dynamic Editing dialog box.
If you want to use the cross fade feature, tick the enable box and enter a time value in
each of the boxes provided. Note that you may wish to have a different time for faders
moving up and for faders moving down.
An icon will be displayed in the Info column of the Cue window to indicate the pres-
ence of the cross fade. When the cue is recalled, a time bar will be displayed in the
cue name field to indicate its progress.
Cross-fades normally works so that one cue in the show holds the starting position
and the following cue (programmed as described above) holds the ending position. If
you, however, move the faders in the console between recalling these cues, the
cross-fade will be calculated in real time, based on the actual position of the faders.
