In my previous post, Stupid Ion Questions 1, I don't think I ever quite got around to asking this, but having now spent some time programming there (finally, shut up) and on our Express 24/48, I now have one very specific, laser-focused question:
When I build a look out of submasters and keyboard and wheel, etc, and I say
[Record]Cue#
two things happen:
It records that look into that cue, and *plays back that cue, in control of the dimmers*.
That's almost *never* what I want to do there. Is there an easy, quick way to leave the dimmers where they are, but disconnect their control from the playback of that recorded cue?
I know I could goto-cue 0, but that will *clear* the dimmers, and I've almost always got people on stage who don't want to be in the dark. In short, it seems like it would be much more seamless to the performers during a tech if I could either recapture control after recording the cue or just not cede it in the first place.
Is either possible?
Should I have gotten that out of the manual (which I've read most of), or the tutorials (which I've watched most of)?
We're presently running... I think 2.2 or 2.3. I hope to upgrade to 2.4 or 2.5 in the next couple weeks.
