Re: [Avid-L2] Turn Fast Cue off - FOREVER?

I rarely use the autoconfigure options - it seldom seems to get it right.
Instead I just strip the deck templates right down. I dupe the "Machine
Templates" folder as a backup, and then delete the templates for every deck
I don't use - so I'm only left with about 6 templates. Makes it much easier
and quicker to pick in the capture or digi cut tool (it helps that we only
have Sony decks, so they're all in the same sub-menu)
