Chapter 20: Shows and File Management
163
The system loads the new Show file, replacing the current sys-
tem configuration, routing, and control settings with those
contained in the new file.
System Configurations and Loading Shows
Show files include VENUE system configuration settings (such
as the type of console (VENUE SC48) or control surface
(VENUE Profile, or a VENUE D-Show Main and Sidecars); the
number of Mix Engines; Number of Input Channels, FX Re-
turns, and EQs; Aux and Group Bus configurations).
• If a Show file includes the same system configuration set-
tings as the current configuration, the configuration infor-
mation appears in blue text in the Info area.
• If a Show file differs from the current configuration, but can
be loaded on the system, the relevant configuration changes
appear in orange text in the Info area. When the Show file is
loaded, the system restarts in the new configuration.
• If a Show file differs from the current configuration and can-
not be loaded on the system in its entirety, the configura-
tion information appears in red text in the Info area.
If a Show configuration is too large for the current system, mix
elements are dropped in following order:
1
Plug-Ins are deactivated
2
Graphics EQs are dropped
3
Input Channels are dropped
Working with Presets
Preset files are used to store, recall and transfer factory or
user-defined presets. Preset files are grouped in the following
types of Preset Folders:
Built-in
4-band EQ, 31-band Graphic EQ, Compressor/Lim-
iter, Expander/Gate, and Input Channel Presets
Plug-In
Plug-ins Settings Files
Scope Sets
Settings for Recall Safe configurations
Preset Folders
Preset Folders contain Preset files. Each of the built-in proces-
sors (Compressor/Limiter, Expander/Gate, 4-band EQ,
31-band Graphic EQ) and each plug-in has its own Factory De-
faults folder. Additional folders are provided for Scope Sets.
You can create additional Preset Folders for each processor or
plug-in and store new Presets in them. These folders can then
be transferred to a portable storage device for transfer to other
VENUE systems.
