Re: Showbuddy installation failed

Hey Dave could you email me the fix as well? My email is mvarrone995@gmail.com.

I have the 1.7.1 beta and my system is acting very weird with it lately. I think I'd like to revert back to an older version (1.7.0) but every time I try to do so I get this exact message! Please Help!!

1.7.1 beta track won’t play after inactivity

Hey Dave, I’m using Showbuddy 1.7.1 beta on our brand new hp 7core laptop. The laptop literally has nothing on it besides Showbuddy. The issue we’ve been facing is when leaving showbuddy open during one of my bands set breaks (usually around 15-30mins) when we come back and hit play to start the nex...

Shape Macros??

Does anyone know how to use the circle macro for example? When I apply to my beams they just do circles in an upward direction toward the ceiling. What I would like to do is a circle motion but facing forward toward the audience. I’m able to create this by messing with the tilt and pan oscillators m...

Re: Is there a way to keep lights on after track ends

Yea sort of. You need some sort of DAW like ableton or FL studio. I use FL studio and I use a launchpad controller to fire off my presets. How I do it in FL is I set up two virtual midi outputs and assign one to channel 15 (banks) and one to channel 16 (presets). I then open up dmxis as a plug-in in...

Re: Rookie - Best Practices

As far as copy and pasting goes, you can use ctrl-a to select all cues (depends on what version of SB youre using). That helped me a lot because I know the struggle of trying to copy everything while zoomed out and selecting cues you don't want. For my work flow, I usually program a big batch of &qu...

Anyone know if this is possible? I’d like my pars to chase from left to right then back from right to left. I can only get it to go left to right then start over left right etc. I feel like this may be outside of dmixs’ capabilities but who knows maybe someone found a way or created a macro?

Upgrading to Showbuddy active

I’m thinking of upgrading to Showbuddy active. I have an entire 3 hr set (about 80 songs) programmed into Showbuddy with dmxis. If I get SBA will I be able to use all three of them? Will need to transfer files to SBA? Will SBA show up as a window like dmxis does within Showbuddy? Sorry I’m confused!

Re: Play-Thru Glitch

so if I get a good flash drive maybe like a 256gb, load all my tracks to it, then change the media files location to that drive it will put the files faster? Obviously the drive would have to be inserted every time I use Showbuddy correct?
