Question about updating cues

Sorry only a quick reply.

I'm sure you're working in tracking mode. If you change to Cue Only in Setting this will fix the problem. You can see what mode your in in the top left corner of your channel display.

I would suggest not changing modes, but instead use the [Q Only/Track] button after [Update] whenever you only want to update the selected cue(s) and not anything subsequent.  I also suggest you read up on the numerous posts and/or knowledge base articles on this website about tracking.

Sorry, but I have to disagree, and advocate changing modes as Nick suggests.

Clearly joebtuner is expecting the console to behave in a Cue Only manner at the moment, and until he/she is absolutely comfortable with the concept of Tracking, understands the pros, cons.. and pitfalls, the safest option is to use something which makes sense to the user right now.

Not that I want to discourage anyone of course! As Xander suggests, it would be a great idea to go and read up on the topic. Depending on the application, it could make your life a whole lot simpler!

Thanks for the help.  I will look at all of the information given, including reading up on tracking.  If that brings up any more questions then I will come back for more information. 

There is a little video called "Why did my console do that?"

Tracking and the rest in the simplest terms.

I will check it out, thanks.  I also have all of the other videos, and I watch them as I need to move from level to level.  I guess that the title "tracking" just didn't scream out to me as coverning the issue that I was having.  I am a teacher, and will not need to look into it for a little while, and this is the end of the school year, so it may be summer before I tackle these things.  Thanks, Joe
