Programming for a concert - most effective way?

Hi guys,

I'm actually organising a 'small' concert (250 persons) and will be the one who operate the RoadHog this friday. I worked a bit with it this summer, so I know the basics of the basics of the Hog OS 3 but still a few question…

I just got the set lists of the four bands but will have the RoadHog not before friday, so I will have to program these light shows in like 6 hours.. I know almost impossible.

It's a really 'small' concert with just 6 Martin MAC 250, a few LED parcans and one Hazer.

So, having only 10 playback faders… how would you program it?
What do you think about like setting the the intensity channels of the two fixture types on two faders?
Is it possible and how can I can record cuelists in a 'palette'?
Would you put everything in one show or load a new show every time the stage is being rearranged for the next band (only like 5 minutes brake between the two first bands, then 30 minutes brake, and finally again a 5 minute brake between the two last bands).?



Regards,

    Thanks you guys! Tomorrow is the D Day…!

    I downloaded Hog 3 PC a few days ago and tried out a few things… When I record a cuelist to pallet, I can click on it to fire it but I can't open the 'Editor' for this cuelist? What I mean is if I record the cuelist on a fader, I can open a sort of 'Details/Editor'-Window but not if the cuelist is recorded on a pallett. Any idea why?

    About the scenes… Are they only there to record a look (position+colour+gobo+etc.)? Like 1 scene = 1 look?

    But when I want to record a sequence of 'events / a sequence of different movements that I want to playback by pressing only one button, then I have to use a cuelist, right?

    A question about the pages (they would be really helpful for tomorrow)… I tried out working with pages on Hog 3 PC and noticed that if I switch from page 1 to 2, the cuelist that was active on page 1 stop? Is it possible to the active cues on page 1 stay active until I fire a new cue on page 2?


    Thank you very much!
