Using groups to modify cues or
submasters in Blind
You can use groups to modify cues or submasters. For example, let’s say
you have created a group 3 that contains channels 1 through 10 at a level
of 75 percent. Follow these steps to add group 3 to submaster 2:
Submaster 2 now contains channels 1 through 10 at 75 percent, in addi-
tion to whatever other channels are already part of it. If any of the chan-
nels between 1 and 10 were already included, their levels were modified
to match those in the group.
The same procedure can be used to combine groups and cues. Groups
can also be used as elements in effects. Anywhere you set channel levels,
you can use a group to select those channels and set their levels.
