Recording a group using Solo
You can use Solo to selectively record into a group in the same manner as
using Solo to selectively record into a cue. There are two ways to select
channels with Solo: while clearing other independent channels such as
other lights and while clearing ALL other channels, including nonindependent
ones. See Recording a cue using Solo, page 98, for the
procedures to use, substituting the [Group] key where those procedures
specify the [Cue] key.
Working with groups in Blind
There are two modes of operation in Blind for changing groups—Group
mode and Group Editing mode. In Group mode, the console brings up the
channels from a group of your choice and allows you to use them to
modify cues, submasters and other groups. In Group Editing mode, the
console allows you to create or edit the group itself.
Group mode
You enter Group mode in Blind by specifying a level after identifying the
group. The level is applied proportionally to all channels in the group.
Follow the procedure below to work in Group mode.
