These probably arnt issues with the board, probably just our noobness. but we have a couple problems that im sure you have a solution for.
1. unparking lights - we can park them easy enough but we cant figure out how to unpark them. this was a real problem the other day when for some reason when we turned fixtures on, they decided to park them selfes... i've read things that said to park you do something like 18@50 park enter and to unpark you would do 18@ park enter but that doesnt work for us. it just stays parked.
2. fx not stopping - we might have the solution to this, i read the other day to save deltas only and itll stop the effect but what was happening is we would have a cue, say cue 1, and cue 1 would be running something like rainbow on our wall lights then we would want to turn it off on cue 2 so we do stop effect and record cue 2, and then the rainbow turns on again.
3. sometimes when we make an effect we cant make more - like ill click effect from the softkey bar and do new intensity and make an effect, then ill want to creat another one but when i click effect again it just gives me options for the current effect
4. not a problem yet - we are going to add some RGB filters to these lights we have for our scrim. i was wondering can it be patched so that we can control it as one fixtured and just mix the colors. each color would have its own channel.
5. any ideas for how to make a show more exciting? we do a lot of stuff with the choirs. especially the FX show choir. and i just want the lights to be cooler for the shows. were limited to led lights on our auditurium walls, about 50 ellipsoidal hanging from our catwalk, and about 20 fresnels above the stage. and then a few stip lights above the stage for the scrim. we do some flashing and stuff but that can get boring any ideas? we even decided for the last show to add about 10 ellipsoidals on the side of the stage pointing at the audience for something different.
Thank you for all your help!
