There is little that can ruin a live show worse than pre-
recorded playback of a show that does not behave as
expected. To minimize the threat of such a disaster, it is
highly recommended that the following be done before a
show is performed before an audience:
Run through the entire playlist prior to performing it.
Verify that all MIDI devices are receiving MIDI commands
properly by sending MIDI commands to it by using the
Send button in the MIDI event editor. If you are playing
MIDI files on external devices, play back a MIDI file and
make sure that the correct device is playing it.
Verify that all lighting is functioning properly by opening
a song in a playlist, then choosing Build Lightshow to
open the lightshow editor. From here, the sliders should
control the lights. Check each slider to make sure that
the correct light is responding to the correct channel.
Verify that all applications that are to receive hotkey
events are opened
Verify that all of the required files for the show are in
their correct places by checking that:
Audio plays for every song on the playlist
Lyrics are displayed on screen for every playlist item
that should have them displayed
MIDI events are sent for every song that has MIDI
events
