Recorded subs not clearing

hi, i was wondering if someone could help. I'm on congo v5 software running a senior and my problem is this,  After capturing a number of channels and recording them to a sub i find i can no longer control the channels ie release them or change intensity the only way i can regain control is to restart the show.  I'm running in AT mode. This is a random issue rather than a constant one. Another issue i have is the fact that i can no longer add dynamic effects to my direct selects is this going to remain this way?  I found this a really quick and easy way to setup shows now my show files contain gel setups rather than the dynamics.

 

Regards

 

Andrew

  • Hi there -

    Regarding the Dynamics on the Direct Selects, this has been changed because the new v5 Effects are much better for this type of thing. I suggest taking a look at the new way to do Dynamics - I think you'll find it has many advantages.

    Regarding the placement of channels onto Masters - are you setting levels, selecting channels and then typing RECORD & MASTER KEY or are you using another method? If you select those channels, what appears in the selection boxes in the upper right corner? Is it "AB"? It's possible that you have the levels still in the A fader, which would keep the Master from being able to control those levels due to the highest-takes-precedence logic of the console. If this doesn't solve it, please provide some more details of how you get into this situation and we'll look into it.

    Thanks -

    hi there sarah, setup to masters is as described by yourself AB is in the channels like i said it seems to be randomly occuring, nothing in A is holding it.

    When you record direct to Masters, the channels are still in the A field so you can do something else with them as well if you wanted.

    Holding [Clr] & hitting [Ch/Id] will clear all intensities from the A field, while [Clr] & [@Level] will clear intensities of selected channels from the A field.

    Thanks Richard for your answer but this is a problem i have only developed on the move to v5 software, all worked 100% on previous 4 build

    hi i have finally discovered what is causing this, any channels activated by the RFU then recorded to a sub cannot be cleared by the desk.  You have to now go and clear them from the rfu.

    Please note that the way levels from remote controls are handled has changed in v5. Remote controls now work in a separate field to be independent from the console and avoid conflicts.

    If you set levels from a a remote, you have to clear the levels from the remote. Or, use the command under Remote Controls in the Browser to clear the remote control contribution.
