Input Channel Presets
Input channel configurations can be stored and recalled as Input
Channel Presets. Input Channel Presets can be previewed, re-
called and transferred just like other VENUE preset files, letting
you quickly configure channels from among a library of favorite
setups.
When an Input Channel is stored or recalled as a preset, all pa-
rameters are affected except the following:
• Patchbay assignments, including Direct Outs
• Hardware and software insert (plug-in) assignments and
in/out state.
To store a channel as an Input Channel Preset:
1 Configure an input channel as desired.
2 Click the Channel Presets icon (the folder icon located to the
right of the Channel Routing indicator and +/– buttons).
3 Specify a folder in which to save the preset, if the currently se-
lected folder is not appropriate, by clicking the Folder selector
and selecting a different folder.
4 Click New.
To preview and recall a saved Channel Preset:
1 Navigate to the Inputs page for the desired channel. Channel
Presets can only be loaded into a single channel at a time.
2 Click the Channel Presets icon.
3 If necessary, click the Folders icon and select the appropriate
Channel Presets folder from the pop-up menu.
4 Do any of the following:
• To preview an existing Channel Preset, click its name in the
Channel Presets window.
• To load the currently selected Channel Preset, press Enter
or click the Close box (
X) in the Channel Presets window ti-
tle bar.
• To cancel without changing settings, click
Cancel.
To rename, duplicate, overwrite or delete a Channel Preset:
 Right-click the preset name in the Channel Preset window and
choose
Rename, Duplicate, Delete, or Overwrite.
Channel Compatibility and Input Channel
Presets
The following describe how different types of channel data is
handled when storing or loading Input Channel Presets.
Channel Names and Presets
New presets automatically inherit the current Input Channel
Name, or you can give them a custom name in the Presets win-
dow. The default channel number (such as “Ch 16") is used for
the preset name if the channel has an empty (null) name.
Loading Mono and Stereo Channel Presets
You can load mono Channel Presets into stereo channels, and ste-
reo Channel Presets into mono channels.
Loading Mono to Stereo Mono settings are applied equally to the
left and right channels of the stereo destination. The stereo desti-
nation channel retains its current balance and width settings.
Loading Stereo to Mono When loading a stereo preset into a
mono Input Channel, the left channel settings in the stereo preset
are applied to the mono destination channel. The mono destina-
tion channel retains its current pan setting.
Selecting a channel preset automatically loads the saved set-
tings into the selected channel. Depending on the stored set-
tings this may dramatically change channel level and signal
routing. Use caution when previewing Input Channel Presets
with a live source.
