What is your favorite button on any lighting console?

[hhslights]

The blackout button. What else can completely change everything in one fatal push?

Calling button pushes over headset for a HogII starts to confuse the sound department very quickly. It started with all the Pig Releasing and got even worse when we needed to use some comment macros.

I indeed do like the "*" button on the Lightboard M, confuses the hell out of noobs.

Now that i think about it, i think i like the "Exit, Exit, Clear,Clear" function on the avo's

Ugh.. I hate when I'm adding a cue in blind, like if I'm one cue 100 and the next cue is 101 and I need to add 101.5, so I do it in blind, then hit GO and it goes to 101, since I never hit Live....that always happens on opening nights.....and 9 out of 10 times, Q101 is a blackout!!!

Who would this call? At our college, we dont have catering or anything, but I figure we could use it to annoy the n00bs, call them for food. I might have to do this, have a submaster that triggers a sign somewhere... *evil cackle*

better yet, make the sign an LED sign to make it noticible and flashy!

Better yet, im sure there is some way with an LED sign to make it say what you want, like "Coke", "Pizza", "Arbys", and so on. Im gonna check with my TD, we might be getting some new LED units and the LD for the first show of the year doesnt use anything that has more than one control channel, so I might be able to make that...

Get a 50' long 40' high LED wall and flash up there what you want.
