Chapter 5 Cues

Recording Cues

Cues are created "Live" from the Stage or Device displays or "Blind" from
the Preview, Tracksheet or Cuesheet displays. When a cue is recorded live,
you see the immediate results on stage. When a cue is recorded blind, the
results will not be seen until the cue is played back. For more information
on Cue Playback, refer to the
chapter.

Cue Record Modes

There are three types of Cue Record Modes available when recording cues
in the console: Clean up Mode, Tracking Mode and Cue Only Mode. Clean
Up Mode is the simplest way of recording cues; channels are recorded
directly as you see on screen. The other two cue record modes have
complex channel tracking relationships which are created from cue to cue.
To get you started in learning how to record cues, we will use the simpler
Clean Up Mode for the procedural examples in this chapter. Once you
understand the basics how to record cues using the Clean Up Mode, you
can then apply the two other types of modes. Further explanations of these
modes are given later in this chapter, see
To change the Cue Record Mode, press the (Q Mode) soft-key until the
desired mode name appears at the beginning of the command line.

Cue Numbering

The decision on how to number your cues requires a bit of thought. Many
individuals have different preferences on how cue numbering should work,
however, there are a few points you should consider. Most people create
cues following the formation 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Then, if you need to insert a
cue between 3 & 4 for example, you could call the cues 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc. If
you are recording a show which will require the addition of a lot of cues in
between existing cues, you may find it helpful to number your cues in even
numbers only, or increase in increments of 5, or 10, or any other format
which you deem appropriate. See also
