GM's and Inhibs

"You cannot yet edit the contents of a Grand Master.  You will be able to in a future build.  In that build, there will be no default config.  So if you want a GM, you have to specify this.  Page 6 having GM on it is a legacy issue from earlier work that we haven't yet changed, as we were still deciding how to best manage the default config.    A GM is different from an Inhib in that the setting of a Grand Master does not impact the stored intensity value.  If the GM is set to 50%, the lights will be stored at their "non-mastered" value.  The setting of the Inhib does impact the intensity that is actually stored in the cue.   It's always a discussion.... what side of "Record" does the GM fall on.  Because we have Inhibitive subs, we place the GM on the far side of record, giving you both options.", Anne V. 9-5-07
 
Howdy,
 
1.  My Amber Sky Cyc's and Ground Rows are way brighter than the RB and G.  Sorta mid stream I decided to build an inhibitive for them to mix well during the Absolute Effects instant Flash and Trash I've fallen in love with.  I've found myself running it about 60% most of the time.  The only problem is that when I record a straight cue, the levels are immediately re-affected by the inhib.  I am looking at 60% of the 60% recorded level.  I am kinda loathe to do a proportionate patch at this point in the game.  When I realized that what I want is one of the several Grandmasters to control these channels, I found the above quote.  I agree with the philosphy, but is there any new news on this?  I can come up with another solution, but I am curious.
 
2.  Is there a way to set an inhibitive sub with ch's 1through 10 so that when the pot is pulled down, 1 through 9 are at 0% but 10 is at 20 %?
 
Thanks,
B

  • You can spreadsheet.  Grab all cues.  type [ch] [x] [@] [full] [replace with] [60].

     

    This will replace all of the full levels with 60%.  Or you can do that @ / 60 command, I think that's it all the whole channel, but yes, I think other than changing the whole show, the recorded levels will be jumping around.  Next time if you want to do this record minus sub, then you won't have to mess with it.  If you change the whole show, you don't have to worry about knocking you inhib out of the super special place that you have it at.

     

    Best of luck,
