I do a lot of smaller festivals and more and more there are sound engineers who worked on a GLD-80 with their band before and they want to load their show-file on my GLD-80. The problem is that i have to copy all the settings made on Front-PA and Monitors to their show-file!
What i wish is an easy tool where you can import just specific settings and scenes from another show-file! At minimum if it’s possible in the offline editor! (Better would be integrated in the GLD-80… however!)
Best workaround would be:
- Save the festival-settings like Front EQ, Monitor-EQ’s and all the routing options in a scene and this scene in a separate show file.
- start this “new integration tool” and load the guest-showfile into that. After doing this, the software compares the main-settings failures and gives the possibility to: overwrite the existing settings or to leave (“safe”) the actual settings!
- It should be possible now to select the wanted scenes from the guest-show to copy them to the existing show-file!
- All settings affected a channel that doesn’t exist anymore (for example an AUX) get lost!
I’m sure there will be some more feature this “Tool” should have… maybe something like copy specific channels to another channel (not just like copy channel 1 from one show to channel 1 of another show… more like copy Channel 1 to Channel 6!)
However, a first step and in my opinion a really big request would be done with a simple tool described above!
