Using multiple songs in a show

[AGrisWoldXmas]

I'm sure this question has come up somewhere else, but I couldn't find it in my search. I apologize if I'm being redundant.

Last year was my first year using LOR. A musical sequence looked overwhelming, so I did an animation sequence. This year it's time to step up to the plate and do a musical sequence. That's where I'm getting confused.

I've chosen 4 songs to sequence. I setup a new musical sequence with the first song. How do I add the other songs? As I'm looking at this it looks like maybe you create a separate sequence for each song, then add each sequence into the show editor under the musical tab. If that's the case, once I setup my channels, labeling, etc on the first song, can I use that as a template to import into the other sequences?

Thanks for the help!

You've got it right.

Create a sequence for each song. Then add each sequence into a show.

You can go to Edit -> Import/Export Channel Configuration to save a template of your channels from sequence to sequence.

You answered your questiom.Separate sequence for each song.

Also big welcome to the forums.

Wow! Talk about some quick responses! Thanks for confirming what I was thinking. I just didn't want to sequence an entire song only to learn I have to redo it because I didn't set something up correctly!

Let the fun begin! Time to start sequencing!!

Guess I'm sort of the odd man out here, but I always edited all my songs into one very large song. I learned that trick from Mike Zimkowski. That way, I can blend and/or merge all the songs as I want them, edit each song for length, etc, etc, .. with exactly the right amount of time between each song.

I probably have a shorter show than most people - 10-14 minutes typically - but if you've ever seen MikeZ's show on his website, it's entirely worth the effort.
