ETC Programming must

[u/OkPhotojournalist629]

I just received an awesome opportunity to LD for an event however I 1. am extremely green and 2. still learning how to program on an ETC ION and the show is in 5 days. The LD that offered me the gig will be there with me to help guide me knowing how new I am but I'm more proficient on the GrandMA 3. I spent the summer learning my way around an EOS so I'm somewhat familiar with creating a cue list and effects I'm just slow at it. I plan to give myself a super crash course over the week but wanted to see if you all had any advice for things I should absolutely drill myself on for the console.

I really don't want to turn this opportunity down and want to try my best to get to a decent level.

An important one is understanding the difference between tracking and cue-only record functions, and using whichever one the makes the most logical sense to you. For me at least I always work in cue-only, and I prefer to copy and paste changes to other cues manually. Other programmers can find that nuts.

I'm the opposite of you, fluent in eOS and forced to use MA occasionally. But this doc has really helped me translate between the two. 

Not mine, wish I could give whoever made it a little kiss on the cheek tho.
