I'll have to run through a few of these when I have a bit of time with nothing on stage. The board op did make a "blackout" cue live, and tried copying, but it was not always working. Then stuff got tracked into other cues, then fixes caused more problems, and the cascade continued. What a mess. :) But she did a good job of keeping cool, and kept a couple of "safety" cues on submasters, and even did some color changes au vista. The on-the-fly blackouts were the biggest challenge, particularly without a dedicated intensity-only grandmaster on the Ion XE 20.

The easier way may be to create a blackout cue in Live and then copy it where they need it. The important thing there is that they do a [Shift]& [Block] on the original cue before they copy it.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr">Hey folks.... the manual doesn't explain/have examples of how you create a completely new cue in Blind mode in EOS software (Ion board) - just how to edit an existing cue. Example: have a Cue 12, and want to add a Cue 12.5 with a couple of parameters
changed... in blind. How do you record the 12.5 bit? Google isn't turning up anything either....
