Go live with a show
Check the show, start one clock for the board and the crew, keep it in line with the music and stop it.
Open the set and choose Show.
Choose Go live. The live screen opens without the sidebar and asks Ready to go live?
Read the checks:
whether the crew has its link;
how many cues are planned;
tracks with no length, which count as four minutes each;
cues that fire before the effect is ready to fire again;
cues that use more than is on site;
the start time the clock reads from. Without one, it counts from 0:00.
Create or copy the Crew link on the same screen if the crew doesn't have it yet.
In Start from, keep the top of the set or pick the track that's playing.
Choose Go live.
One clock now runs for everyone: the board, the live screen and the crew's link. Anyone in the artist can start it, Production included. The live screen keeps your display awake while the show runs, in browsers that support it.
The live screen shows the clock, the track playing, what comes next, the looks that are on and the timeline or run sheet.
Follow keeps what's happening now in view. Scroll by hand to look ahead.
Cue at now, or N, adds a cue where the show is now.
To go back to the set, choose Set at the top. The show keeps running.
Track starts are planned, so the real set can drift from the clock.
When the next track starts, choose its started button, such as "05 Track name started".
If the current track started later or earlier than planned, choose This track started now.
On the run sheet, Started now next to a track does the same for any track. On a computer, hover the track to see it. The timeline has the same button next to each track's name.
The clock moves to match, for everyone.
While the show runs:
what has played and the track playing stay as they are, and so do cues that have already gone;
you can still add, move, remove and edit later tracks and their cues;
the tracklist can't take whole-set changes: Arrange, undo, starting from a past set, restoring a version, changing the blend length or the set tempo, or deleting the set;
the crew's link can't be switched off.
The set shows Live with a link to the Live screen.
Press and hold Hold to stop until the show stops, or hold Space or Enter on it. Holding prevents a stop by accident. Whole-set changes work again once the show stops.
