Linking macros
Any macro may end with a link to another macro. When macros are linked,
the first macro runs, then the second macro follows automatically. Press
the appropriate macro key at the end of your sequence to create the link.
Pressing the macro key automatically ends and stores the macro.
For example, to create a macro that sets all active channels to 50 percent,
fades them out, then runs another macro, follow these steps:
Note: You may also link a macro to a cue so the macro will run at the same
time the cue does. See Chapter 6, Working with cues, for more details.
