LOADING A SESSION
Select Load Session from the Presets menu.
RESOLVING LOAD ERRORS
If there are differences between the needs of the session being loaded and the current mixer size or inventory,
the mixer must reconcile this mismatch.
Example 1: The saved session has more channels than does the current mixer configuration.
In this case, the session calls for 64 channels, while the system inventory can
provide only 32 channels. If the mixer can be enlarged to 64 channels, the
session will load without incident. Otherwise, the highest 32 channels will be
deleted, and the settings associated with those channels will be lost. In either
case, it’s important to save a copy of the session before proceeding.
Example 2: The I/O inventory of the saved session does not match the current mixer inventory.
Whenever the saved session’s I/O inventory is not the same as that of the
mixer, there is a chance that certain channels cannot be supported. If, for
example, the session calls for a 128-channel MADI device, while the mixer
hardware in the same slot is an 8-channel I/O, it will be difficult to provide the
session with the channels it needs.
Important: Loading a session can result in a dropout or click.
Do not load a new session when this is not acceptable.
