Next Wave show at BAM where the visiting Lighting Director needed manual cue times for all his cues in a single cue list with 2 pages of subs that he uses to "enhance" each look on stage. Imported show file from ASCII. Changed all times to manual. Hit GO and left master fader drops down to zero. He pushes up fader to produce crossfade at whatever timing he wants. (only the left fader drops down) He then needs to edit the look on stage and and update it. When I hit UPDATE (make absolute) the left fader drops down to zero again and I have to push it up again. This update appears to bring the look on stage back to its levels before the cue crossfade and pushing the fader up runs the crossfade again. This would be very bad if we were editing looks with an audience. I did hold the fader in place once to prevent the repeated crossfade, but that is not ideal at all.
will include show file when I can.
(have not tried substituting RECORD ONLY yet)
Also, what the visiting LD wanted was an XY crossfade function, where both master faders worked separately to control the current cue on stage and the incoming cue to the stage. He wanted to sometimes hold the current cue on stage while bringing in the next cue. The EOS faders do not appear to work that way, unless I am missing something. I did a work around by writing a macro to record current look on stage to a sub and the LD brings up the sub to hold the look. Is this some feature we should add to the EOS? (if it doesn't already exist and I am just missing it)
