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,

Max

    a secret i learned many years ago is how to use the Virtual List. you create 1 cue that you like and want too use> "2 things" i like to save good specials in a specific cue like 22,33,44 and so on, or you can save it to a fader. remember to name it. now here is the secret enter the cue list options and click on "add blank 1st cue" what that does is when you press list22 boom what ever you programmed is happening then hit list22 again and the releases the Virtual master. sounds confusing i know but i learned on the 500 with only 8 faders and i needed more faders to do what i wanted.

    and earlier someone talked about templates that is great. you set your 7 faders the way you need for quick bumps and flash and trash, then you set template. then on the 8th fader you program song per song on page next page. so if the band changes the line up you just go into pages and move them around in order so all you have to do is press next page and you are ready to go.

    hope this helps
