Genus Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi all, I'm sitting in front of an element, and I'd like to record channel 100 at 100% into a sub. Easy right? Not so, it seems I can't make the desk record ONLY channel 100, it keeps recording scroller positions into the sub. I don't want it to do this. I just want channel 100. The scrollers are attached to completely different channels (63-66). Any ideas on how to *not* record any other information one doesn't need into a sub? I think it's because the desk thinks it's recorded a 'tracked' position or somesuch. But I'm not sure. I've tried the manual, to no avail and it seems the ETC element forum is down.

vinntec Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 if it is the same syntax as an ION (as they are both EOS family), I think the command is: [100] [record] n [enter] if I remember correctly off the top of my head? I don't have an ION but just happened to ask almost this very question at the training last year before doing a show at a theatre with one.

Genus Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 That does the job. Another way (I worked out accidentally) is to "go to cue 0" before starting to record anything, as this clears everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 You can also use 'select active' I believe, which will only record stuff above 0, or us the attribe selectors in the CIA to only record intensity information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peza2010 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yep, select active will also work just fine... And IMO. Is a good way of working. Edit: and just make sure you are in the habit of pressing the clear button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac500 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Or you can go into blind and go to the sub you want to record to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Element records everything that's Manual (Red), unless you tell it to record something specific. So:[Record] [1] [Enter]- Records all the Manual levels onto Sub 1. (Channel) 100 [Record] [1] [Enter]- Records just Channel 100 onto Sub 1. (In Live, Channel is assumed and turns up on the command line when you start typing a number. In Blind, the number is assumed to be the kind of 'thing' that you're looking at- eg in Blind Effects numbers are assumed to be Effects unless you say otherwise.)

richard Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 It is also worth noting that if you do channel record you will record all attributes to that channel, not just intensity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Unless you filter it.... Or can you do that with the Element? you can with the Eos, unsure if the Element is missing bits of the Eos functionality though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
