The Undo Command
If you mess something up, accidentally record over a cue, or make another mistake – I would first tell you not to fret – you already made artistic decisions once, and those decisions you made were the hardest part. Often times recreating those choices on stage is a much faster process the second (or third) time around. Just breath and do it again. This is true with papers. This is true with light board. We’ve all been there. Don’t fret.
With that said, EOS has an Undo button.
Let’s try it out. Start by performing the following commands.
- Channel 1 at 10
- Channel 2 at 20
- Channel 3 + 5 at 40
- Channel 4 + 6 at 60
- Channel 7 – 9 at Full
- Record Cue 3
- Record Cue 2
Umm. Wait a second. This was a horrible idea. It looks okay, but it isn’t what we meant to do.
So let’s step it back by pressing the [Undo] button or Ctrl+X on your computer keyboard (why isn’t it Ctrl+Z ? … I have no idea … and find it quite frustrating). After you press the button, you’ll see the CIA pop up with a list of recent commands
The line highlighted in Yellow is the first command you want to undo. We want to step it back all the way, so click on the command “Chan 1 @ 10”, which will highlight all the commands below it.
Press [Enter] to commit to the Undo command. EOS will warn you that you’re about to Undo multiple commands. Are you sure?
Press [Enter] again to confirm. Great. But. Maybe. Not. Undo is still selected, but if it wasn’t, we now have an opportunity to hit Redo.
Let’s Redo all those actions by clicking on the [Redo] button and pressing [Enter]. Great. Let’s just keep this.
Finally, you can clear the CIA popup by clearing the command line, or [Shift+Clear].
