Re: [LCtalk] Submaster Faders?

[Natty Simson]

Jon, Fokko--

I think you may have misunderstood what he means.  That, or I have, in 
which case please correct me.  Just to review, on a conventional 
lighting board, a submaster is essentially a fader dedicated to 
controlling a cue.  That is, it stores not only a group of channels, but 
also a set of levels for them.  When the submaster is at full, the 
lights are at these levels; when you fade the submaster down, the 
channels adjust to the given percentage of those levels.  What you're 
proposing is essentially just a group -- a bunch of channels controlled 
together, but at the same levels.  Or have I misunderstood?  I think the 
closest LCEdit comes to a submaster other than a group is the ability to 
load a cue in a different layer and then fade the master for that layer 
up and down.
