Chapter Five:
Show Profiles
If you've already read Chapter Two, "Configuring
Inputs," you already have a good understanding of how
Source Profiles are essential to Element operation.
In the same way that Source Profiles allow you to
pre-determine how an individual channel is configured
when a source is loaded, Show Profiles let you build con-
figuration files that can be loaded to determine how the
entire Element behaves, and which sources are loaded,
and what channels they appear on.
By assembling sets of Show Profiles, each user can
have the board set up his or her favorite way — sources
placed where they're most useful, monitors set to the ap-
propriate feed, headphones conforming to personal pref-
erence. Or, you can use Show Profiles to define different
types of broadcasts – one for the morning show, one for
talk segments, one for musical guest interviews, one for
unattended operation – that need only to be loaded to
instantly reconfigure the board for use with a different
situation.
Creating A Show Profile
Build A Show
Element's Web interface, which you've used to con-
struct Source Profiles, is also used to help build Show
Profiles, so make sure a computer with a Web browser is
connected to your Livewire network within easy reach.
Your Element is shipped from the factory with a de-
fault Show Profile. This loads the first time you turn on
your Element; it provides the "blank slate" you'll use to
construct custom Show Profiles. You've no doubt been
exploring your Element, so you might want to reload
the Default Show Profile using
cated on Element's Master Module to make sure you're

in "ready mode."
The first step in building a Show Profile is to set up
Element using the Channel Options, Monitor Options
and and other board options as described in Chapter
Four, "Element Operations." Get started by assigning a
source to each Element channel using the
at the top of each channel.
Reminder: You can speed the setup process
by "Channel Jumping" while using the Options
menus.
For example, to quickly assign sources, select
the Options key on Channel 1 and choose
Source from the Channel Options menu. Use
the Soft Knobs, Control Knob or Nav Keys to
select a source from the list; "take" the source
and then press the Options key on Chan-
nel 2. You'll see the indicator at the top of the
Channel Options screen change to read
nel 02
to confirm that you're now program-
ming Channel 2.
Repeat the proceedure until you've programmed
all your channels. You can now choose other
Channel Options to configure using the same
method.
After you've assigned a source for each channel, you
can configure the rest of the Channel Options:
•
Equalization,
•
Pan / Balance,
•
Aux Sends, and
•
Feed to Source.
When you've configured all Channel Options, con-
tinue on and make monitor and headphone selections
and adjust Aux Send / Aux Return settings if necessary,
since these are all saved in Show Profiles as well.
When you've got the board configured to your satis-
faction, proceed to the next section.
Capture It!
It's now time to save your Element configuration.
