Pause button flashing

[Techie_v2]

Hi all,

Can someone remind me why the pause button is flashing after recording a cue. I can figure it out!

Thanks

I can't remember if this one is a long standing buggette, or whether it means what's on stage versus in the cue is out of sync and you need to GO to align them!

Yea ok, useless answer!

 

I found this in an old Beta comment, if it applies to your scenario:

Also when I do Shift+Go (Go Snap) why does the Pause/Back button start flashing?

Shift+GO also acts as a pause - stopping chases or Auto cues from triggering (useful when updating cues) and hence the Pause button flashes to let you know.

Hmmm, but this is just after pressing Record -> master playback button

Using tracking made if that helps?

If you have SmartTag disabled, and you record a cue, you will immediately snap into the cue you just recorded, and the manually adjusted programmer values will be cleared automatically. As you have essentially done a GO Snap without running the cue's fade times, the Pause button will flash.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Edward, I haven't checked that smarttag was disabled, will do tomorrow.

It's something I always forget to turn back on after disabling to stop an effect etc.

Wish there was a way to have it auto re-enable after turning it off as 99% of the time I want it on, but forget when recording the next cue

I definitely understand this request. On the other hand, personally I would not want SmartTag to turn back on if I'd turned it off. More thought required...

SHIFT+RECORD is a one-off SnapShot. I wonder if this functionality could be customised?

Hi Jon,

Yeah I suppose that would work as long as the following cue after the snapshot one doesn't require any move on dark features to have run?

I was more "thinking aloud" about a potential new feature (in a future software update) that allows you to customise the functionality of SHIFT+RECORD

Ahh right,

But yes, having programed and done another show tonight I did have smart tag disabled
