Submaster Data Persisting after Recording Cue
Explanation
If you use submasters to set levels for channels and then record those levels into a cue, the submaster levels do not go away automatically and will need to be released.
For example:
- sub 1 is brought to full
- cue 1 is recorded using the levels captured in sub 1
- if you then type [gotocue] [out], you will notice the channels originally captured in sub 1 are still up
- to release the sub data, you need to type [sub] [1] [at] [out] [enter]
There is another way to work around this situation, which is to use {make man}
{Make Man} is short for 'make manual', which can take submaster data and convert it to manual data. Once the data becomes manual, it can be recorded into a cue as normal.
To use {Make Man}:
- set the submaster(s) as desired
- use the following syntax: [chan] [x] {make man} [enter]
- X being the channels captured by a submaster
- Note that the color of the data will turn from yellow to red
- proceed with recording as normal
