Submasters "sticking" after recording a cue

Evening all.

I've been recording a show today on an Ion with 2.0 software. I have a collection of settings recorded as submasters, and once I've combined the subs to get the look I want and recorded a cue I can't then pull the subs back down and start a new look, I have to manually clear them to 0 then start again. A bit of googling suggests this is because the desk is set to automatically play back the last cue recorded (we recently had to reset it to factory default after it was having boot problems), so it is now the the highest value when I pull down the sub.

Does this sound right? I've come from a strand 300 background, and while I'm transitioning to the way of the Ion these thing seem to catch me out. Is there any real drawback to setting the desk not to autoplay the last recorded cue, so that I can set up one look after another on subs?

 

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Al,

    You have two options I believe.

    The first is to turn off auto playback. This is found under Setup / Desk Settings / Record Defaults  then click/touch Auto Playback to change it to Disabled. When you record a cue using this setting, everything stays as manual data after you have recorded, so you have full ownership of your subs.

     

    Another option that I think may work more to how you are used to is to keep Auto Playback on, but to set the subs as LTP and set the Restore behavior to Minimum. This way when you record a cue, you are put into it so you can make sure everything is tracking as you want, but as soon as you grab a sub and have it take ownership over the channels again taking them to levels above or below the recorded value.

    I've never actually used the second option on my own other than just now to confirm it works offline. 

    While double checking myself before I posed this message, I did find what I believe to be a coupe bugs with Auto Playback and LTP/Min subs.  I'm going to post them and then come back here and will add a link to that, so I would just test your standard recording procedures before you get too deep in.
