Record functions

Expression has two record functions Record and Track . Record saves all
channels as they appear on the screen (what you see is what you get) in
the cue, group or submaster you specify . When you use Record to
record a cue, levels are recorded in only the cue you specify.
Track is a record function that works only for cues . It allows you to build
a new cue from the previous cue's channel settings . Tracked channels
are channels whose levels do not change from one cue to the next . A
track often runs through several cues for the length of a scene or an act.
Track also allows you to add tracked channels through existing cues . For
example, if you have created all cues for a scene, and then decide to add
a new channel or group of channels to all cues, Track lets you do so with
one short record command . To do the same thing with Record would
require you to add the channels to each cue individually.
We use the standard Record function for all cues in this chapter . Instruc-
tions for using the Track function are included in Chapter 5, Learning
advanced techniques.
