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.
Preset Files These files are used to store settings for built-in
processors and plug-ins.
Console Setting Files These files are used to transfer or back up
the current state of the D-Show system.
D-Show does not need to be in Config mode to carry out file
management tasks. However, many file management oper-
ations, including loading Shows, may interrupt audio
throughput. Make sure to perform all file management
tasks before a performance.

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
together in Show Folders.
Show Folders
Show Folders contain Show files. You can create and manage
Show Folders from the Save tab of the Filing page.
