Daslight 4 (vers. 27.05.16) - A few questions

[jan.boesch]

Hi,

#1 :
On Daslight4 (vers. 16.526.6957.949), I have a scene with a music file (.MP3), which has a music fade out time at the end (4 seconds). In Live tab, music won't stop when stopping Live-scene (chases stop correctly, but not the music).

It works again if I remove the Scene music fade out time in Edit tab.

#2 : Is there any possibility to define and show a name for each spot shown in the right Univers window ? It's hard to remember what stop is what (eg : "Speaker Left", etc...)-

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hey Jan,

#1: Well that's an interesting one. Could you please send me your show file (and the music file you're using) so that we can test on our machines ?

#2: There is a Rename option in the task bar and the context menu (right-click on the fixture in the patch window).

I hope I understood your questions correctly and could help somehow.

Regards,

Hi Tom,

Okay, thanks a lot. I sent you a PM with a dropbox link. Did you receive it ?

Regarding question #2 : the idea was to display the name (or not) of the chase / spot on right lower pane, near the spot.
If we have dimmers with x channels, it's pretty hard to know the spot we use.

Hey Jan,

Yes I did receive it, thank you for taking the time to send it.

#2 Oh I see ! I misunderstood what you were after. No I'm afraid we don't handle names for each spot in a Multi-Beam fixture.
In the screenshot you sent, Dimmer, Dimmer2, Dimmer3 and Dimmer4 are the names of the channels (therefore SSL specific). What you could do is edit the SSL file in ScanLibrary Editor and rename each channel according to what they point at (You'd need to reload this SSL into your existing shows if you want them to contain the new names).

I hope this helps.

Okay, excellent idea about the renaming trick.

Have a nice day,
Jan
