Allfade meaning

If you still have the manual channels selected when you press [Go], they should not fade, as selected channels with manual values are considered captured.

In Cue 1 set channel 6 to full and press [Shift]+[Clear], then [Go]. Channel 6 should fade to zero, as it is not in Cue 2 and Cue 2 has an [Allfade] flag.

In Cue 2 set channel 6 to full and repeat the process. Channel 6 should stay at full as Cue 3 fades in, as it has no value in Cue 3 and Cue 3 doesn't have an [Allfade] flag.

To be honest I have never used it. If you don't plan on changing a lot during playback you don't really need it. Can't hurt to use it though, especially on blackouts, just to stay safe.

Really depends on what kind of show you are working on. For theatre plays I usually want to keep changes I make during the show, so I just update them.

When improvising live for concerts I usually jump to my cues with [GoToCue], which automatically makes the Cue you jump to behave like an [Allfade], even if it doesn't have the flag. So I don't use it there either.

In summary I wouldn't say it's standard behaviour to set all Cues to [Allfade], though others might disagree. Blackouts make total sense to me, but the rest is up to you and your liking in my opinion.
