Plan the show
Add pyro, effects, lighting and video cues to each track, and keep the crew's departments and stock in order.
Every set has two views. Choose Show above the tracklist to plan cues for the production crew. Tracks returns to the tracklist. People with the Production role open sets on Show.
Everyone in the artist can edit the show, Production included. Locking the tracklist doesn't lock the show.
Timeline: the set from top to bottom, with each track's moments and one column per department.
Run sheet: every cue in time order, as the crew reads it. Department chips filter it.
Switch between them above the show, and zoom the timeline in or out. On a phone, or when the timeline doesn't fit, SetPlan shows the run sheet.
Each track has Start, Blend and End; the last track has no Blend. It also has the hot cues, memory cues and loops from Rekordbox of the DJ who plays it, or of a teammate who has it in their import. Only the cue names and times are shared.
When a beat grid is known, cues snap to bars, such as "Bar 65".
On the timeline, click in a department's column at the moment you want. The cue snaps to the nearest moment or bar.
To add a look that runs from one moment to another, drag down the column instead.
Type to find a cue, or write a note, and press Enter.
On the run sheet, choose + Cue next to a track to add a cue to it.
Click a cue to edit it. You can change its moment, its time in the track or its bar, when a look ends, the amount in shots or seconds, a detail such as position or colour, and a note for the crew. Repeat adds copies every few bars through the track.
On the timeline you can also:
drag a cue to another moment;
press the arrow keys to move selected cues by a bar, or four with Shift (by a second when the track has no beat grid);
press ⌘C, ⌘X and ⌘V to copy, cut and paste cues where the pointer is;
press Delete to remove cues, then choose Undo on the message if you change your mind;
press ⌘Z and ⌘⇧Z to undo and redo.
Cues stay with their track when the track moves in the set. In the tracklist, coloured dots show which tracks have cues.
Cues and departments are shared by every set of the artist.
In the On site panel, choose the settings button, Cues and departments.
On Cues, add or edit a cue: its name, colour and department, whether it Fires at a moment or runs as a Look, and whether it's counted in Shots or Seconds.
In the reload field next to a cue that fires, enter the seconds the effect needs before it can fire again. The show flags a cue that fires again too soon.
On Departments, add, rename, recolour, reorder or remove departments.
An artist starts with Pyro, SFX, Lighting, Lasers, Video and Stage, and a list of common cues. Removing a cue keeps it in shows that already use it. You can remove a department only once no cue in the list and no note belongs to it, so move or remove its cues first. Its column then leaves every show of the artist.
The On site panel compares how much of each cue the set uses with how much is on site. On a wide screen it sits beside the show. On a phone it appears under the show once something is counted.
Enter the number on site next to a cue. Leave it empty if you don't know yet.
Choose Count another cue to add one that isn't listed.
The panel shows how many cues are over. Looks don't use stock.
Choose PDF in the show's toolbar. The run sheet opens in a new tab and your browser's print window appears, where you can print it or save it as a PDF. Print or save as PDF on that tab opens the window again.
