ProSoundWeb: I don’t need to list the benefits afforded by working with a digital mixing console, but I will anyway – flexible parametric EQs, high channel counts in a small footprint, the night-after-night precision of recall and automation features, the convenience of traveling with nothing but a showfile, the list goes on.

It’s interesting to hear how different people build their showfiles, and there’s definitely ideas that I like in here. I actually do like configuring a console from a factory reset if I have time; call me crazy, but it feels like a clean start, and I know exactly where everything is, there’s no surprises. That said, I have habits just like everyone else, and I would probably save myself some repetitive actions (not least making all the X32 bus sends post-fader) by making a more detailed base showfile. In my high school I had a couple showfiles. One for me with how I liked things, one generic one with all the basic routing and room EQs for times when someone else that knew what they were doing was going to be using the console, and one with almost everything hidden and filed away except for one mic, a headphone jack, and the CD player labeled as clearly as humanly possible for the dark times when a music director or some teacher or another wanted to use the sound system and I couldn’t be there to supervise.
