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.

    Chad, the behavior you're describing is a "Strand'ism" (it might even be specific to the Strand 500, I don't think the LP90 does it that way). On the Obsession and most other tracking consoles I've used, "Cue Only" is processed at record time by adding hard values into the following cue. Handling cue-only at playback is unusual, and I'd argue it violates the spirit of Tracking/LTP.

    When you need to bump levels up and down for video, can you use another list that just has intensity recorded in it? Play that list either manually or from a comment macro and let it over-ride the tracked value until you want to release it.
