snapshots in a live situation - would like to ignore the master

In a live concert situation, we would like to use specific fader pages for certain songs. I am using fader snapshots to recall these pages but am facing the pending cues issue where the master playback records and recalls the pending cue at the time of recording. Is there a better way to do this? Or is there a way to ignore the master playback?

  • I setup at least one fader page for each song/performance I am doing.  That way I can set all the fader attributes for global fx masters, cue lists, and bump buttons/sub assignments and not have to worry about them.  I use macros to set the appropriate page on my console. Depending on the setting I will either have the macro triggered by a cue or have a DS page setup so I can quickly jump to whatever page/cue section I need for that performance.  I generally use snapshots to do the initial screen layout. 

  • Thanks. Maybe I'll move to this. For some reason, I thought snapshots would be the way to go but macros don't record pending cues. Of course, I've done it with triggering macros before; we were just trying to keep everything to one fader page.

  • I don't think the granularity necessary to make snapshot faders useful is there yet.  When we can choose which faders we are snapshotting and what attributes of those faders then I might move to using snapshots for fader config in a realtime environment but for now I only have one snapshot that includes faders and that is my main console setup snapshot.  Just not enough control yet.
