Times in main stack

[Malvern]

Hi 

Had a major problem in tech rehearsal last night. I had put all my cues I needed in mdf's and started to record them over to main stack, but there was no times in the cells and no intensity. In the end I had to start again an set up a new show where all worked well but left me stressed out. What went wrong and could it be easily rectified

Based on your description, it sounds like the "SmartTag" option had been disabled in the Record Options. With SmartTag disabled, ZerOS will only record fixtures that have been adjusted manually. Therefore fixture information from other active cues will not be recorded. When SmartTag is enabled, as it is by default, ZerOS will include manual fixture values, plus fixture information from any active cues.

In your example, the only thing you did was raise a playback on an MFF and so the only fixtures onstage were those from the cue on the active playback. Therefore when you recorded a cue with SmartTag disabled, ZerOS recorded any values that had been adjusted manually. As there weren't any, you ended up with a blank cue.

To access the SmartTag option, press and hold the RECORD button, to open the Record Options window on the internal touchscreen. The SmartTag button will be top left of the window. If it has a red stripe on its button, this means it is enabled.
