Thank you so much for this video! I have figured out how to use recipes for myself a while ago. It works a dream. Super awesome feature if you fully understand it. Thanks to your video I kind of got confirmation on that I´ve taught myself the correct workflow. Thank you so much!! Your videos are awesome. Keep it up! :)
Thank you Jan 🙏🙏 And thank you for showing up on the channel 😀😀 Yes i think that recipes is a fantastic addition to the GrandMA ecosystem, and the possibilities are endless with them. :-)
Wuut! Recipes is pretty sick ! I'm still using MA2, Only been using it for a year now Still have a whole lots to learn Ur MA3 videos are very helpful! Thanks! 👍
Hello my beautifully voiced tutorial man! I really want to know how to change the "standard" executor from Go+ to Toggle. I rarely use Go+ but always use Toggle & I need to change each one individually. How do I set Toggle as standard?
I only have my voice, I don’t think I will win any prizes for my hairstyle 😂😂 In the setting window for a sequence you can “save template” and that way, next time you store a sequence, it will use the template. Let me know if that works for you. 😀
Really nice to see this video after my recent questions on the copy / clone video! Clears up a lot of stuff! I still gotta say that these recipes are a slow way of programming. 1 Spots full fade 1 delay 0 thru 1 2 Spots at XX fade 3 3 Spots spots red fade 1 delay 0 thru wings 4 4 Wash at full 5 Wash at fan out fade 3 6 Wash at blue delay 0 thru 1 groups4 And now on to the next cue. Ain’t nobody got time for that 😂 I might be a bit thick headed but am I missing something or is this really the best way to go about it? And as always thanks a bunch for the videos! 🤘
Hi Christoffer. You can still go about it the usual way, you should see Recipes as an add-on the your possibility’s when setting up your show. I think if you are on tour, it could help with keeping things clean, but it all comes down to your preference as a programmer 😀😀
Yeah but your only doing this once, if you build everything using recipes, when you end up on different rigs with different fixtures, all you have to do is patch them in and update your presets. Initial programming will always be slow, its the same thing with cloning, the difference is this removes the cloning process entirely, which is an improvement to workflow when having a showfile meant to adapt to different rigs.
@@Event-Lighting excellent. Makes sense. Thankyou. Do you store all of your phasers in All 5? I'm just figuring out my MA3 workflow now after many years of MA2.
Thanks, very clear. I can see how powerful they are. However I am wondering why we actually need to input any data into cues and just use recipies. Or am I missing something.
Well it all comes down to your preference as a programmer. If you can see the value in recipes, you can use them. If you would rather work another way, thats your choice. I personaly think that a combination of "normal" programming, and recipes, could be the way forward for me 😀 *The important thing is that there is no right or wrong, just different choices.*
@@Event-Lighting Excellent thanks, its a sort of similar process to programming with groups on chamsys although MA has taken it to the further level of integration.
This is very similar to group FX on chamsys but what makes sense to me is using the old school method on the touring floor package and using recipes for all the venue lighting which needs to be scaled every night.
is there a way to make programming sequences with recipes faster like when you program normally using the pool items and the programmer? this seems a little time consuming
Not at the moment, but i have heard developer discussions and requests about it. Yes - it takes a lot of time at the moment in the programming process, but you get the time back when or are in the venue, adapting new fixtures. 🙂
Hello thank you for your videos! if I understand correctly it takes time to integrate into the sequences a big day if I want to program them on all the sequences of my show? but after it will be much more efficient than the clone? Because the clone is fast but not flexible?
whats the difference with just changing the fixtures in the groups? like i have group x with 12 fixtures, now i get somewhere else where i only got 10 fixtures i just overwrite the group with 10 fixtures? wouldnt it have the same effect ?
What I fail to understand is whats the point of creating recipes when all they do is reference to specific groups and already existing presets? If you are touring would you not need to rerecord the presets that the recipes look at any way? Or is it like you say create a position preset for all fixtures on the rig and then create the recipe with a specific group and preset?
I tried adding some additional spots into my show and the recipes worked great except for effects. I have a tilt effect on some pointe's and that effect didn't work when I stored some quantum profiles into the same group. Is there something Im doing wrong or does it not work with effects.
It's basically the same thing. But instead of going through Group - Preset - Store cue /merge / later update, which you still can do, recipes are "the programmer's way of thinking" way of programing a show, step by step. If you look at the MA2 Sequence contents that references presets, it's pretty much the same. But with phasers, new presets referencing other presets (recipe in a preset) along with much improved selection grid and ma tricks implementation, it seems like totally different thing. Its somehow easier as you can see exactly what's where, directly in the edit window. Tracking is quite fun now though 🤭
recipes are amazing. just got my whole show programmed with them! thanks for the tutorial it helped clarify some things for me
Yes they are really great. Thank you for watching 👍👍
As always, fantastic guidance at a speed and level we can all understand. Thank you!
Thank you 🙏🙏 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍👍
Again thanks a lot for your hints and advises ... you're trully give light for lighter ... regards👏
Thank you max 🙏🙏🙏
I love your Tutorials! So helpful when coming from MA2... Thank you sooo much!
Thank you Elmar - and thank you for watching and commenting 🙏🙏🙏

Amazing video, very understandable pronunciation, I'm not a native speaker but clearly hear every word!
Very helpful. Thank you for making videos like this one.
Amazing tutorial & so easy to understand thanks!
Wuut! Recipes is pretty sick !
I'm still using MA2,
Only been using it for a year now
Still have a whole lots to learn
Ur MA3 videos are very helpful!
Thanks! 👍
Thank you 🙏 I hope that you find some features in MA3 that you can’t live without 😀😀
Very useful, thank you
Thank you for watching :-)
prety cool stuf ty for sharing. i need to left ma 2 at some point. i mean there are many new cool futures like recipe presets.
Fantástico. Obrigado por compartilhar seu conhecimento.

This looks like a bit how pallets work on avolites, right?
Really nice to see this video after my recent questions on the copy / clone video! Clears up a lot of stuff!
I still gotta say that these recipes are a slow way of programming.
1 Spots full fade 1 delay 0 thru 1
2 Spots at XX fade 3
3 Spots spots red fade 1 delay 0 thru wings 4
4 Wash at full
5 Wash at fan out fade 3
6 Wash at blue delay 0 thru 1 groups4
And now on to the next cue.
Ain’t nobody got time for that 😂
I might be a bit thick headed but am I missing something or is this really the best way to go about it?
And as always thanks a bunch for the videos! 🤘

@2:26 how do you have an "effects pool"?
Yours says pool number 25. I don't seem to have such an option on a fresh MA3 show.
Hi Jake. I chose ALL 5 and renamed it to EFFECT 😀
@@Event-Lighting excellent. Makes sense. Thankyou. Do you store all of your phasers in All 5? I'm just figuring out my MA3 workflow now after many years of MA2.
Hi Jake - i have no rule to where i store my effects, i just chose one of them 😀 There is no right or wrong here 😀
Thanks, very clear. I can see how powerful they are. However I am wondering why we actually need to input any data into cues and just use recipies. Or am I missing something.

Well unfortunately I don’t really know Chamsys that well, but probably 😀 I think it has potential for some scenarios
This is very similar to group FX on chamsys but what makes sense to me is using the old school method on the touring floor package and using recipes for all the venue lighting which needs to be scaled every night.
Also a busking file would want to use recipes exclusively.

For this to work you need to have UNIVERSAL phasers. 😀 Otherwise you will have to update you phasers first. 😀
So we build our cuestacks with recipes now. No storing of cues which reference presets?

I patched second fixure but not work movement phese
Do recipes work with phasers?
Yes they do 😀
I take it the presets need to be global to work…. Is there a way to convert presets from selective to global?
Nevermind - your next video answered this question:D
