Hello and good evening,
I’m fresh in cantabile’s environment but I figured it out really easy I can say. But issues came quickly. i created my first set list and I made quite a few sessions for each track and then I saved both sessions and set list. After I opened cantabile, the set list didn’t load and it gave me a message “failed to open set list”. What is wrong? I have a gig in a couple of days and I’m about to use cantabile. I use the second version. Thank you in advance! Cheers!
Hi @chateo and welcome to Cantabile and this community!
To be brutally honest: if you’ve got a gig in a FEW DAYS and you’re totally fresh to Cantabile (just creating your first set list), then simply DON’T DO IT - stay with some equipment that you’re comfortable with and that you also know how to troubleshoot for the coming gig.
In parallel, build your Cantabile setup, test it in a few rehearsals and learn its quirks and how to troubleshoot when something goes wrong.
Cantabile is a super-powerful environment, but it takes some time to get your head around it and build a stable and stage-proven setup. And if you want to play a Cantabile setup live, then by all means start with Cantabile 3 and not with the old version. There’s too much to un-learn when making the move to Cantabile 3 - and trust me, you will, sooner or later. Plus, most of the members of this community are running Cantabile 3 these days, so getting help for Version 2 will be a lot more difficult than for version 3.
There is a wealth of experience gathered in this community; you can find out just about anything. When asking troubleshooting questions like in your post, it is useful to provide more information (screen shots etc.) that may help members identify what’s wrong and how to help you.
Cheers,
Torsten
