Recording using Solo
The version 3.03 manual shows you how to record cues, groups and focus
points with Solo that works with independent channels, such as the
intensity channel of moving lights. But you can also use Solo to isolate
channels for recording in the presence of independent channels. Since the
object is not to darken the intensity of some channels but to de-select
channels of any type, this additional use of Solo is as a pre-recording filter.
Below are two examples of using Solo as a pre-recording filter, one to
record channels into a cue and the second to record only the color
attributes of selected moving light fixtures into a focus point. Stage levels
are unaffected by these procedures, which can be performed using
analogous steps in Blind as well.
