Thanks Leo ! Do you thinks it’s possible to be able to choose wich section the voice speak ?

Like only the intro and the solo section but not the verses ?

@Duthis do you think an attribute (e.g. [nocue]) to disable the count-in per section would be a suitable solution? :slight_smile:

Clearly it can work ! Maybe with a shortcut like [nc] to keep the view on the empty midi files clear

5

That would be in good design.

[nocue]
in each section clip

6

Are tags like [nocue] not displayed with the description when viewing
sections in setlist view? That would be perferred.

This is SO awesome!

Perfect timing Leo, I was messing around with creating my own AI cues for some more “Custom” calls and now I can use these within Ableset’s cues feature!!

Not out of character for me, I have a couple of questions…. haha

  • I saw there’s a way to adjust the delay to the samples with [70ms] in the name, does that shift it forwards or backwards?

  • I have a “count in” section at the start of every song and I was wondering if there was a way to make that not generate the words “count in”, but give me a 2 bar count instead? (1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4).

  • The way I’ve done cues in the past is over 2 bars.
    So if it was just calling Chorus, it would be like this…
    x, x, Chorus, x - 1, 2, 3, 4 and then if I had some kind of dynamic cue it would be….
    Chorus, x, Breakdown, x - 1, 2, 3, 4…

Not sure if that makes sense or not, but it’s worked really well so far and was wondering if it was possible to look at getting a similar functionality?

How I would imagine it working would be that I can tag a section with a dynamic cue within the section track name, but this would not display as part of the section name in canvases, for instance, “Pre Chorus 1 [Build]”.
The functionality would then be that if there is no , it would place the section name on beat 3 of the 2nd last bar, with the 4 count over the last bar.
If there was present, then it would place the section name on beat 1 of the 2nd last bar and the bracket cue on the 3rd beat of the 2nd last bar, then with the 4 count on the last bar…

I know this is a super specific use-case, but thought I’d ask about it because then I could completely use Ableset’s built-in cues feature instead of having to manually go in and do my own for every song. It would also mean I can easily use all of my new cues files automatically within all the songs I’ve made up in the past, just adjusting some section names here and there.

You are truly doing some amazing work here Leo, legend status :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Hey @Adam_Molinaro, thank you for your feedback, I’m glad you like the new feature! :slight_smile:

I’m already working on a 2-bar count-in mode that sounds like this:

This will be customizable per section, so you could add [c:1] for a 1-bar count-in, [c:2] for a 2-bar count-in, and [c:0] for no count-in (syntax isn’t quite set in stone yet). It’s not exactly how you described it but hopefully it works for you anyway.

Providing an alternative section title for cues sounds like a good addition. Do you think this alternative should only be used during count-ins or also when jumping to that section while paused?

This adjustment would mean the file plays 70ms before the beat. I didn’t see a need to shift audio files the other way.

Let me know if you have any further feedback! :slight_smile:
