Chapter 19: Shows and File Management
Data can be stored, recalled and transferred between VENUE
systems. 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 sys-
tem settings, snapshots, and events.
Preset Files These files are used to store settings for channel
strips, built-in processors and plug-ins, and Recall Safe Scope
Sets.
Console Setting Files These files are used to transfer or back up
the current state of the S3L system.
Creating Shows
A Show file contains all configuration, signal routing, mixer set-
tings, plug-in information, snapshots, and other operational set-
tings. Shows are grouped together in Show Folders.

many file management tasks. However, the system must be in

accidental interruption of audio throughput.
