The "Ghosting Lights" thread has encouraged me to ask this question of the community. It has 2 parts really. The first dealing with the Grand Master. Do people bring the GM to zero before shutting down? I seem to have an unnatural hatred of this. There is no reason to. I just find it annoying, but I know some people do it, so I wanted to know which is the majority.
The other part is something that I thought was a given, but reading the responses to "Ghosting Lights" gave me doubt. Do people out there turn out all of the lights before shutting down the board, or just flip the switch whenever you are done? I never really thought of turning off the board withOUT clearing the faders, channels, subs, parked stuff first. Kind of like shutting down my PC without closing the running programs.
P.S. I realize that on most boards there is a shut down process because of the integration of the XPembedded or similar. For the purpose of this question, pretend you were using an old board like the Expression3.
Thanks,
