The sound of a CF card show is interrupted

If the sound of the currently running show is interrupted by a further show starting in addition to it (Add Mode), both shows presumably use the same stereo output. The following rule applies: The show to be started last takes over the stereo output from the currently running show.

Solutions:

• Always use separate outputs for simultaneously running shows. Using an SC Master 4, both signals can be applied to one stereo output via the internal mixer and a routing of Multi-channel  4 2.

• With an SC Master 6/16 you also use separate outputs, joining them again via an external mixer.

• For any other cases it may be useful to think of an elegant way to cover up the abort of the music by turning down the volume slowly via a Special Functions marker and turning the volume up again after the new music has started. See Remote-controlling volume and sound.
