Hi all,

when talking about creating simple chasers, please also have a look at the nice macro "circular copy" in the dot2. This makes, from my point of view, programming a chaser even more easier than with non-tracking.

Cheers

What about a theatre environment? I know some theaters, even bigger ones, who only work without tracking.

hi

I totally agree with you . I work in a Theater and we just bought a dot 2 xl-f and i just recognize now what is this tracking, and i wanna ask how could we OFF this option. But i see that we cant. Hard to work with this .Many time i need to make a cue from totally nothing totall dark (black out) and in this way we need to off all the lamps all fixtures then make thos 3-4 lamps to his work then i can save a new cue. Its + time for me.
thanks for understanding

best regards

Is not so bad. You have to get used to it. If you want to get everything fast on zero try the following sequence: Thru - Please - and double the dot (..). "Thru" will tick everything, and double-tapping the dot will set all values to zero. It works for me.
For copying a particular cue to another location, if you want to get an identical cue including the values tracked from the previous cue, I recommend setting the "cue zero" and the function: Copy - Cue x - At - Cue y - Please / in the select window, mark Status and Copy /.
/I also work in the theater and I have problems with it, but even on older consoles when programming, if you used some faders in the scene, then you have to zero them .../
Problem with cue and tracking

I agree and would like to see options for tracking AND non-tracking. We do a lot of theater along with band lighting and "busking" a show. While nasula suggestions work (somewhat)for our theater programming it would be more efficient and cost effective to have options (or, at least a hybrid solution) for tracking AND non-tracking built into the software.
