Hello
Can you give the quick and dirty version of the programming basics for emulation. I have some Elation 300 pros I am taking with me and I am walking into a venue tomorrow I have never been to and I don't know what fixtures they have there. Also this is the first time I have ever used this program and it is all I have available.
What is the fast way to get scenes programmed that allows me to be able to switch colors, movements, and attributes such as these? Do I make multiple cue list and then use the stack? If that is the case should I have a cue list that has only colors for a particular fixture; then another cue list that would have multiple gobos for the same fixture and program all my gobos with a white light and put the color cue list higher than the gobo cuelist in the stack and have HTP so when I change the color cue list it will over ride the white color? Will that allow me to have a particular gobo I want and change the colors of that particular fixture or group to what I have programmed in the color cuelist? Hope that makes sense! If that is the case I think I am fine but if not I am headed down the wrong road. Any other advise or tips are welcome also.
Thanks
Josh

I'm not sure if there are any decent tutorials out there yet for Emulation, there wasn't when I started using it, but there are a few videos for Cuelux which might help you.
