Chapter 10: Editing Cues and Using Track Modes

Software Version 3.05

119

You can create cues “blind” in the Preview, Cuesheet, Tracksheet and Playback

displays by using the [CUE] key followed by the cue number that you want to

create. When you create a cue “blind” in Tracking mode, its channel levels

will be identical to the previous cue, except that all channel levels will be soft

levels. You may then edit the cue as necessary.

BASIC RULE: When creating a cue blind in Tracking mode, the

cue will be all soft levels, with values identical to the previous cue.

Creating Cues in Cue Only Mode

In Cue Only mode, when you record a cue live on stage using the [RECORD

CUE] key, the result is the same as when you are in Tracking mode; only

channels with levels that are different from the previous cue are given hard

levels, and all other channels are assigned tracking levels. The difference

between Tracking and Cue Only modes occurs when you create cues blind or

when you edit existing channel levels in Cue Only mode.

BASIC RULE: When recording a cue live in Cue Only mode, the

result is the same as in Tracking mode; only channels that have new levels

different from the previous cue will have hard levels, and all other channels

will have soft tracking levels.

In Cue Only mode, when you create a cue blind in the Preview, Cuesheet,

Tracksheet and Playback displays with the [CUE] key, it creates a “blank” cue.

Any channels that had a non-zero level in the previous cue have hard zeros

assigned to them. This creates a cue with all zero levels, hard and soft, that you

can use to build a new cue from scratch.

BASIC RULE: When creating a cue blind in Cue Only mode, a

“blank” cue with all levels at zero is created.

Creating Cues in Clean Up Mode

Clean Up mode is the simplest way of recording and editing cues. Tracking

levels do not exist for cues created in Clean Up mode. In Clean Up mode, each

cue exists as a separate memory of hard channel levels, with no relationship to

each other. No zeros are shown while in Clean Up mode since all cue channel

levels are hard levels, and all zeros are also hard levels. If a channel is blank

for a cue created in Clean Up mode, it is a hard zero. You must be in Tracking

or Cue Only mode to view the hard zeros assigned to a cue created in Clean Up

mode.

HINT: If you do not want to ever use the tracking feature, always

work in Clean Up mode.
