Recording a cue using Solo
Solo is useful for setting existing channels to zero temporarily while you
view or record selected channels. You can use Solo in Blind or Stage.
When used in Stage, you can use solo to cut all lights except those
selected, thus using it to identify specific lights. Or, you can use Solo a
different way to cut all channels except those selected, which is a way of
filtering channels for recording. Both procedures are given below.
Using Solo to record selected lights
In the Stage procedure below, all but selected lights are cleared the first
time you press Solo. They are restored as before when you press Solo a
second time (Stage only). This use of Solo will not NOT clear independent
channels, such as those controlling most moving light attributes. It will,
however, clear the intensity channel of a moving light fixture.
Using Solo as a pre-recording filter
The following procedure, which has an equivalent in Blind, uses Solo to
restrict the recording to selected channels, clearing all others whether
independent or not. Stage levels are unaffected by this procedure.
