Chapter 20: Shows and File Management
D-Show lets you store, recall and transfer D-Show system set-
tings. There are three types of information files that can be
managed separately, as follows:
Show Files
These files are used to store, recall and transfer
D-Show system settings, snapshot, and events.
Preset Files
These files are used to store settings for built-in
processors and plug-ins, and Recall Safe Scope Sets.
Console Setting Files
These files are used to transfer or back up
the current state of the D-Show system.
Creating Shows
A Show file contains all console settings, including configura-
tion, signal routing, mixer settings, plug-in information,
snapshots, and other operational settings. Shows are grouped
