Be your own programmer自己當 Programmer

You don't need a timecode programmer or a spreadsheet of times. Your cue list is the clip names in Arena.不用找 Timecode Programmer,也不用另外抄時間表。Cue 表就是 Arena 裡的 Clip 名稱。

  1. Load the song匯入歌曲

    Drop in a WAV with LTC on one channel. Programmer finds it and plays the music from the other.拖入一個聲道帶 LTC 的 WAV,Programmer 會自動找出時間碼聲道,音樂從另一邊播放。

  2. Pause on the moment播到位置就暫停

    Play along, pause where the hit lands, and take the timecode.跟著音樂播,停在要下點的位置,按下取 TC。

  3. Paste it on a clip貼到 Clip 上

    Click the red paste button on the column you want. That clip name is now a cue.按目標欄的紅色貼入鍵,這個 Clip 名稱就是一個 Cue。

Current interface, shown with sample data. Nudge by one frame, type a time, or drag to move and swap.目前的軟體介面與示範資料。可以 ±1 frame 微調、直接輸入,或拖曳移動、交換。

Then run the show接著上場

Plug in LTC and arm it. Show mode shrinks to a small panel that stays on top of Arena.接上 LTC、開啟自動觸發。演出模式縮成小面板,置頂在 Arena 上方。

Questions常見問題

What happens if my pass expires during a show?演出途中授權到期會怎樣?

If automatic firing was turned on while your license was valid, all cues keep firing until you turn it off, for up to 12 hours. After that the app returns to the free plan. Your compositions are not touched.如果開啟自動觸發時授權有效,到期後全部 Cue 仍會繼續觸發,直到你關閉為止,最長 12 小時。之後回到免費版,你的 Composition 不受影響。

Can I move my license to another computer?可以換電腦嗎?

Yes. A license can be active on 2 computers at a time. Sign out on one to free its seat. A computer that has not connected for 72 hours frees its seat automatically.可以。一組序號可同時在 2 台電腦使用,登出就能釋出名額,72 小時沒有連線的電腦也會自動釋出。

How do I cancel the monthly plan?月費要怎麼取消?

Use the customer portal link in your Creem receipt, or email us. Your license stays active until the end of the period you paid for.從 Creem 收據裡的客戶入口取消,或寫信給我們。序號會用到已付費期間結束為止。
