Express F/X

John

There is no easy way to achieve what you’re looking for.  When you write an effect on Express/Expression and recall that effect it is instantaneously active.  You can change the time that the effect goes in and out.  If you are using the channels that are in a previous cue, here would be my work around, write effect to a sub master.  Set the time for the sub to a value and the time out to a value.  Write a macro to sub bump on corresponding sub.  Write a macro to sub bump off corresponding sub.  Link cue to macro. 

Hope this helps

John I agree about the subs. It's the easiest way on the express to make effects.  You can link the macros that trigger the sub just like any other cue.  LINK + ENTER MACRO + enter the macro #.  I use numbering schemes like: Sub 1 would be turned on my Macro # 101, turned off by Macro # 901.  Just to keep it clear what the link is doing.  Just make sure you turn off the sub if it's running before you re-record a cue.  you will record whatever levels are present at the time you hit ENTER.

Thanks Guys, I use to run an O2 the same way with F/X on subs and Macros on/off, I was just hoping I was missing something, but I guess it really is a quirk in the sofware.
