New S6L and Venue software wish list

Channel libraries and something like aliases, actors, or players would be epically awesome. Us theater people are excited for the new updates.

Could you please explain a bit more?

So, to compare to another system, Studer is the best example. Channel EQs, for example, are saved into a library. That library can be updated so that any changes are always stored. If a character wears a hat, you can have a separate EQ library for those moments that are recalled in the appropriate snapshots. If a change is made to the parameters in one of the scenes, by recalling libraries instead of settings, the changes you make will ripple through the whole show where those libraries are recalled.
And then on a more global layer, a function like players or aliases(like Digico). If you have an understudy go on, most of their settings will be different from the main character, but you still want their routing, FX inserts, and VCA assigns to stay. By having alternate channel settings(that are applied globally to all the snapshots) you can easily change full-show programming to recall proper EQ and dynamic settings.

It would be nice if the snapshot control would be more explored, for newer features. These are good examples

In Lighting desk you can have multiple qlists. For us audio folk, this might be handy as well. 1 Qlist for running your show. Other for miscellaneous

Other than Dimitri, I don't think that there is any console that can handle multiple cue lists. I know of people using external software(like Qlab or CSC, or SCS, or SFX) to push the console. You can scope exactly what you want in each snapshot for more granular control over parameters. We do this in theater and its makes a world of difference. Incorporating more granular scoping options along with autoupdate would be game-changing.
