CSC triumphs nationwide this Christmas - the new audio playback standard

Orbital Sound this year broke all their own records with an unprecedented number of Pantomimes and Christmas shows  rolling out more than twenty productions over a three week period. A key factor in Orbitals ability to deliver such a high number of shows and still retain such high production values was the use of CTRs multi award winning CSC Show Control Software.

CSC was used not only as a sound effects playback platform, but also to control mixing desks, lighting desks, and in some cases click track playback too. The ability to make quick and easy changes right up until the performance allowed designers and operators to really push the envelope in terms of what can be achieved.

Ben Arkel, production manager for First Family commented, All the directors were very impressed with the speed and accuracy with which they were able to make changes to sound effects. It certainly beats burning hundreds of CDs every tech period much cheaper too!.

Russell Godwin, sound number one for Sunderland, explained further, CSC has so many unique features that just can't be done in any other software package.  The ability to offset midi cues, the onboard audio mixer, and even the ability to link cues to the system clock are all tools that we'd be hard pushed to get by without!

With the success of this years season still glowing in the Orbital offices, plans are afoot to take CSC show control to new and previously unimagined levels for 2008.
