The Session Configuration
The
Session Configuration
is the physical and electrical definition of the
Vista Digital Mixing System installed at your recording studio or production
facility. A Session Configuration contains data about the mixing console
channels, the patch, the labels, and so on – and it
must
be loaded in order for
the console to function.
We often refer to the
Virtual Mixing Console
(VMC)
when speaking about
the Session Configuration. VMC is another concept that forms the basic
foundation of a Vista: all functions and the current Session Configuration
data are saved within the VMC. A simplified definition of the VMC is:
‘a
data structure containing descriptions of the console’s functions, including
all the current statuses of all functions.’
That is why, as we will see later, all the Session Configuration files have the
extension
*.vmc
.
Because of the flexibility provided by the (optional) Session Configuration
Tool, you can create customized, application specific, console configura-
tions. In most cases the facility’s Vista system administrator will create the
necessary Session Configurations. However, there are some cases where you
will not need to be concerned with the Session Configuration, because the
one configuration that was loaded at the Studer factory will remain loaded
and active unless you changed it. The last-loaded Session Configuration will
remain loaded and active until it either is changed, or another one is loaded.
If a production is recalled that was created with another Session Configura-
tion, the correct Session Configuration will be automatically loaded.
