file.

Click the Load button.
D-Show loads the new Show file, replacing the current system
configuration, routing, and control settings with those con-
tained in the new file.
System Configurations and Loading Shows
Show files include D-Show system configuration settings
(such as the type of D-Show console (D-Show Profile, or a
D-Show Main and Sidecars); the number of Mix Engines;
Number of Input Channels, FX Returns, 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, D-Show restarts in the new configura-
tion.
• 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 Compressor/Limiter, Expander/Gate, 4-band EQ,
2-band EQ, 31-band Graphic EQ
• Plug-ins Settings Files
• Scope Sets
• Input Channel Presets
Preset Folders
Preset Folders contain Preset files. Each of the built-in D-Show
processors (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
D-Show systems.
