Uhh, although I hate masters, you can reduce the intensity of a 
channel(s) with the "Master intensity" :-)  Works for all cues on 
that channel(s)

Note: Do NOT forget to reset all masters back to 100% on a new location/show
Note: Don't look surprised that your values in the channel(s) are 
different from the DMX output, check that Intensity masters are all 
100% :-)
