Push for live theater

[Joshua Boden]

I am a sound designer working in theater.
I have been working with Live since V4, but for music making - not sound design - when I worked in in film I used only Protools (industry standard) but now, because I am designing as well as acting board op I thought I would do everything in Live - and its great!
I am using Push for the show, and I am finding that the pad velocity in session mode is really sensitive - the sensitivity is great when I am making music, but for launching clips in a high energy show (there are over 46 sound cues for a 75 minute show). I have gone into user settings on Push and I still find it to be to sensitive. Is there a setting in Live that I am missing for clip launching??
Also, any other sound designers for theater working completely in Live from start to finish? Tell me about your set up.

John Zalewski (the last poster in the above thread) is a long time user of Live for theatre sound design.

i find the LaunchPad Mini buttons more user-friendly for cue-type launching. they are not easy to accidentally fire, and give positive feedback when you press them...
