Eos console show setup

Hey EOS users! 

     I’m on an ion xe20 with 2 screens. I’m wondering for a theater show setup with a cue list how I should set my console up. I currently just use the psd and the live table screen. 

     On the same note what is your suggestion about how to use my faders. I’ve seen big broadways shows that use tons of screens and faders and wonder what all they use it for.

    An excellent question without a definitive answer

    While my setup is good for me it will not be good for you. I use an Apex FP with 2 external monitors and a 1x20 motorised fader wing. Depending on the show I am doing I will use faders (mainly for busking) but for theatre shows (plays/musicals) I hardly ever use fadders with the exception of hazer controls and the occasional flash button. Being flexible enough and knowing how to use the faders and in what configuration is the key here. As for displays I use a couple of configurations that are recalled by snapshots. One is a programming snapshot that has lots of tools on magic sheets and the PSD and then when running the show a PSD and Live table is what I want to see. 

    Everyone is different so watch/talk to others and then work out what works for you. Remember that your workflow should be flexible and as you learn more you will find it changes and what you want on your screens will change along with that.
