Recording - ETC Express 24/48 Quick Manual

Recording

You can record channel levels into submasters, groups and cues in both the Stage and
Blind displays. Remember that working in Stage affects the output of the console. Changes
made in Blind affect only the stored data. If you modify a cue in Blind, you must play it back
in Stage to see the changes in real life.
Cues
A lighting cue is typically a "look" on stage that can be played by pressing a fader Go key.
You create a cue by selecting patched channels, setting their levels and recording all this
information to a cue number. After that, adjust playback timing if you wish.

Recorded cues will default to the upfade and downfade times set in the System Settings
menu (the console defaults to five second up- and downfades). Cue fades start as soon as
you press [Go], but you can delay fades by setting upfade and downfade wait times.
