Description

Your idea

My idea is to have changes in the mixer settings (pan, decibel changes, reverb, etc) that will automatically happen at any point in the score. My vision simulates a soundboard where there are specific presets change the sliders, except these cues can be written into the score (like how pizz and arco change stuff) under a name such as "effect change" or something along those lines.

Problem to be solved

It would solve the need for, especially when showing other people, having to attempt to change the mixer settings in the middle of playing the score back, which obstructs both score vision and is very slow (especially with how long it takes to change reverb and dB meter)

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing existing mixer settings and score playback, then compare how pizzicato and arco changes are represented. Done means score-authored cues can apply pan, decibel, and reverb changes automatically during playback.
