CLONING! Clone a Tour to a Festival Rig | consoletrainer grandMA2 tutorial 2020

-- Cat's 8 Steps to a Successful Clone --
In this video, I'm going to take you through how I clone a touring showfile to a festival rig... start to finish! This is a big clone, but I'll explain it all and show you the types of macros I use. Seriously, this is how I do it every time, and it works for me - every time! If you can clone a full showfile, every other type of cloning is easy!

When you're done with this video, be sure to check out my additional Bonus Tips for Cloning:    • GrandMA2 Cloning - Bonus Tips | consoletra...  

This video also covers:
🍕 A couple of time savers that I try to always do when programming because I know it will make cloning easier.
🍕 How a default preset is going to help with those attributes in your festival rig that don't exist in your tour fixtures.
🍕 Double Clones!
🍕 How to deal with multi-instance fixtures
🍕 Whats up with those Global presets becoming Global and Selective?
🍕 Why do some of my cloned effects suck now, and how do I make them not suck?
🍕 Another macro for "Requesting Universes"

Remember - be careful with the cloning macro. It does what it promises- it will update programming, so be careful not to run it accidentally. If you're making lots of backups, you have the safety net of being able to reload if necessary.
