Spudbum Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Anyone know of any software that is similar to CAST's WYSIWYG only just for soundie planning a pa, channels? Cheers Dom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupboard Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Personally I just set up a table/spreadsheet with columns for multicore channel, desk channel, what that channel is doing, if it is a mic what the mic is and how I'm planning on using it. That way, I know in advance which bits of kit I need and where they're going, and in the event that I have someone helping me they can get one without having to ask me all the time. This does come with the limitation of not allowing you to position equipment on a plan if you'd need that? edit: I say this as if I rigidly stick to it and am very good at always making them. I'm not :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Lewis Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Stardraw is pretty good, albeit (I understand) complex in places. Its strength is the abiity to draw rack layouts as well as wiring diagrams etc. Stardraw control allows control of disparate systems, and is quite powerful. There some lighting and AV applications too. However, I believe that overall these aren't too cheap. If it's just planning you need, then a spreadsheet (or even Visio) is usually OK. If you want to design, plan and simulate loudspeaker coverage, level, response and room behaviour, then you need to look at the likes of EASE, Odeon, Ullyses, CATacoustics or some of the manufacturer specific programmes such as Meyer's MAPP, EV Race etc. For reference, a fully fledged copy of EASE (that gives you 5 licence seats) is around £7500.
