Inserting cues

Using Record
Chapter 8 Track
If you insert a cue in this sequence, Record and Track produce different
results . Record saves changes only in the cue you insert while Track saves
the changes you make and tracks them through the following cues .
The example given below is in Stage. You can get the same results in
Blind but with the additional advantage that you can pull channels from the
immediately previous cue. An illustration of pulling channels when
inserting a cue is given after the comparison between Record and Track
in Stage.
The following keys were pressed to release captured channels and play
back cue 1 . With cue 1 in a fader, channel 4 is added at 50 percent . The
new look is inserted as cue 1.1.
Keystrokes:
1. Press [Stage] [Rel] [Rel].
2. Press [Cue] [1] [Go].
3. Press [4] [At] [5][0].
4. Press [Record].
5. Press [1][.][1] [Enter].
The following diagram illustrates what happens when you insert cue 1.1
using [Record] . Note that the channel in cue 1.1 is not added to the cues
that follow it. In fact, that channel is faded out when cue 2 is played.
