How to Set Up a Full Tracking Backup | consoletrainer grandMA2 tutorial 2020

The grandMA2 does a FANTASTIC job when it comes to full tracking backup consoles. When set up correctly, if you lose a station during a show - you can seamlessly keep running on your backup!
I'll take you through my personal best practices and the options I like to use (and not use), so that I don't have any unexpected hiccups during a gig.

See if you notice StayPuft, my FOH tech, who shows up right on time when we need to swap to a backup console.

Bonus pizza love to Nicolas Filteau for requesting this tutorial!

🍕 How does logging in as the User on both desks look both similar and different?
