Snapshots And Cues; Front Panel Display And Controls - SoundCraft VI6 User Manual

SNAPSHOTS AND CUES

The Snapshot system allows the user to store records of the console's settings. These Snapshots can then
be recalled during a performance. The Snapshots are stored on the console's hard disk drive, each set of
Snapshots is stored as a Show. The Shows can be backed up onto, and downloaded from, a USB data
storage device. Cues also exist within this system: Cues do not contain any information about the con-
sole's settings, but they can 'point' to a Snapshot. Cues can also store system event information, currently
HiQ events. In general, a Show is likely to have more Cues than Snapshots: several Cues can all point to
the same Snapshot.
Note that some of the console's settings are not stored within Snapshots, but they are recorded as part of
the Show. These settings therefore do not change within a Show. Other settings are not recorded at all. A
list of what is recorded, and what is not, is provided at the end of this chapter.
