Recording a Cue only cue in Tracking mode

To the best of my understanding if you are in tracking mode and you want to record a 'cue-only' cue you deselect forward. My question is how do you record a blank cue after that. Example, Cue 1 I have stage wash up, and cue 2 I record 'cue only' for a video look. On strand boards I would record a blank cue after that and it would transition out all my cue 2 changes.
I would like to be able to do this so that 10 video rolls into rehearsal I notice that SR is a little darker than the rest of the stage, so I record SR a little brighter and track back. If I have a blank cue after each video it would track all the way back to where it was recorded. However, if I have to set levels in each restore cue then I'd have to go back and fix that dark spot in every cue.

  • Hi Chad,

    Turning off Forward to create a cue only cue only works when you are recording, inserting, or merging into a cue that already has a cue before and after it. When you record with Forward off, then the desk will take values from the previous cue and record them into the subsequent cue (the one after the one you are recording to). If you do not have any subsequent cues, then the forward is ignored.

    In order to accomplish what you are asking for in your example, you will need to record a blank cue 3 BEFORE you record cue 2 as cue only.
