iLive at the
festival
It is typical for guest engineers
to bring their own settings for their bands on USB key. These would have been archived as a
Show memory. Recalling a Show will overwrite all system settings and may not be
desirable in a festival situation where several bands share the same console.

You can protect important
settings by
extracting guest settings into unused Scenes on the iLive through the USB Scene transfer filter which can be set to block items such
as the output patching, master GEQ and continuity channels. Selected Scenes or current
settings stored when the Show was archived can be transferred in this way. Scenes can be
named according to band.
-
If you have the guest settings
for various bands in advance you could run an offline Editor session of your Show on your laptop and
transfer guest settings through the filter into Scenes to check, edit, name and
re-save on your laptop. Alternatively you could recall the guest Show, then check and edit
the Scenes before archiving them back as a new Show for USB Scene transfer through the
iLive filter. Transferring settings in this way does not instantly recall
them. It puts them into Scenes ready for recall when required.
