The Glitch You See May Be Your Own

Share this Post:

Glitch happens, and it is important to realize that some unexpected results might just be your own fault. Maybe you tracked a timing value that is now causing the lights to move slower than expected.  (The most common programmer based mistakes are due to a lack of understanding of tracking.) You might have even recorded a cue in the wrong list or left out a palette/preset reference.  Often the glitch is of your own making.  These are the easiest to fix, but often the hardest to find.  And although you might be reluctant to explain your fault, you will find that most LDs respect your honesty when you explain that you corrected a mistake that you made.
