[SML] Show Cue Systems and USB audio interface

[Bill Peeler]

I recently found myself in the same situation as Ken: the need for a PC 
based cue system that could handle both audio and video. After much 
research, I purchased a license for Show Cue System and installed it on 
a desktop unit dedicated to the purpose and "customized" with a solid 
state hard drive, maxed memory and a mid-level graphics card. When used 
for a recent dance concert that relied heavily on not only audio, but 
also graphics and video, it worked flawlessly. Having never used (or 
been able to afford) Qlab, I was concerned about the learning curve, but 
I found the program to be intuitive and capable. As Ken has described 
his situation and goals, I would have no problem recommending SCS. FWIW, 
a local community theatre I've worked with for several years has been 
using SCS for a long time and has also been quite pleased with it.

As a side note, I am somewhat amazed that the folks at Figure 53 haven't 
ported Qlab to windows. Looking at all the forums and search results on 
the net, there is a goodly number of folks in Ken's situation. It seems 
that they're missing out on considerable business.
