Hog 3PC show control

I'm coming for some help on a show I'm working on. Every year I do a show that runs to a 10-15 minute audio track. This show repeats through the night looping back to the beginning of the track. In the past I've programmed this show with Martin LJ and used the on board audio control commands and time code to cue everything. However LJ is a major pain in the ass to program on with this much gear. In pops Hog 3pc. I've got the 1U widget but I'm having a hell of a time finding information on how I can make the show run, even semi-automatically. I've spent most of the day reading (including the manual) and messing with midi with no results, not that I see midi really helping me at this point.

What are some thoughts on how I can get this show to run on Hog so I don't have to revert to slaving over LJ?

    Hi,

    The most cost efficient option if you don't have any audio software yet is probably Reaper. This is a full-featured but very affordable DAW - please check their pricing/licensing page for details.

    You could play back your audio from a computer using Reaper and have it generate MTC or LTC through a simple MIDI/audio interface. Then you slave the Hog3PC system to this.

    If on a Mac you could also generate MTC with Qlab2, but in most cases this will be a more expensive license then Reaper.

    Of course many mainstream DAWs like Logic, Cubase, Nuendo, ProTools etc. will also generate MTC from most versions.

    Eric is probably right in suggesting you also look elsewhere for advice since this question is only partly Hog-specific.

    Kind regards,
