Hi Guys,
I have a Pallate VL 64 console and I am trying to get the most out of it,
I have a question about tracking, as I have watched the Pallet training videos and read many articles on tracking vs cue only mode, and I am having a hard time understanding the advantages of a tracking console vs cue only, specifically when it deals with theatrical type shows.
We have productions that are less than a week long, using mainly conventional fixtures and only a few movers.
If were doing a cue list of 80 cues, and I want to make a change to cue 5 of 80 lets say, as I understand it in tracking mode that change in cue 5 is tracked forward until it comes to a blocking cue or until those dimmers are told to do something different. If the director is happy with those other cues, why would I want that change to apply to any other cue except for cue 5, and there for what advantage is there with the tracking mode vs cue only. I understand where if I needed to make a change to a group of cues where that would save time but other than that I am a bit confused about the benefits I have been hearing about about tracking consoles.
Also if anyone knows the pallet and knows if there is a way to set it so that MIB (move in black) is set by default that would be appreciated,
Again any help is greatly appreciated,
