Channels that have all home values, meaning they have never been changed, are not included in the

are not needed in the cue you are recording. See

You could also use {Release}. Release is an extension of the {Make Null} command in Blind. When
Release is used, it behaves like Make Null, but it also releases the channel and parameter data to its
background state, if one is available, or fades out the intensity instead.
Release can be used to mask instructions in a cue after it has already been stored. The data is not
removed from the cue. See
Ion is a tracking console, meaning once something is recorded into the cue list, the cue list will
always contain information about that channel/ parameter unless it is nulled, by using the {Make
Null} command, released by using the {Release} command, or filtered using the parameter filters.
When cues are recorded they are automatically played back and manual values are released, unless
auto playback on record has been disabled in setup. See
back, displayed parameter levels will be color coded for clarification of the record action:
Blue - intensity has increased from the previous cue or a non-intensity parameter has
changed.
Green - intensity level has decreased from the previous cue or a non-intensity parameter has
marked.
Magenta - level has tracked from a previous cue.
White - level has been blocked (see
Using Record in Live
When the [Record] button is pressed the keypad defaults to cue mode; use of the [Cue] button is
optional. The following are representative examples of recording cues in Live. Once the cue record
has been specified, cue attributes such as timing can be combined and entered in any order you
wish.
[Record] <Cue> [5] [Enter] - records all parameters of any channels with non-default data into
the specified cue number 5.
[Record] <Cue> [5] [Label] [name] [Enter] - records the specified cue and provides an alpha-
numeric label.
Note:
to understand the concept of Blocking. A cue containing a Block flag will stop edited levels
from tracking through that cue. Blocks are often placed on the cue at the top of an act or
scene, or anywhere you want to protect cues from levels that may track in from upstream
cues. Block flags should also be set on cues that you want to have behave as blackouts (see
